In this episode of Lipedema Stories the hosts open with a research update reclassifying lipedema as hormonally influenced, then welcome guest Patty who shares her month-long experience using Pycnogenol and a lipoedema-targeted supplement (Lipera). She reports less inflammation and pain, improved mental clarity and sleep, reduced food cravings, and visible leg changes despite little weight change.

The episode also covers label-reading lessons (rice flour sensitivity), exercise and community support, and Patty’s plans for tools and resources to help others with lipedema.
