Despite it being discovered many years ago, lipoedema – a build-up of fat, normally in the legs and arms – is widely misunderstood. More than one in ten women worldwide have the condition, which can be painful, affect mobility, and lead to social stigma. Megan Pfeffer, specialises in the treatment of lipoedema through a tailored keto diet. She discusses with Dr Lucy the signs and symptoms of lipoedema, and some of the ill-informed, counterproductive advice given to those who live with the condition.

Join Dr Lucy as she chats with another real-life woman, Bec Mills. Bec has been off and on a diet for 25 years. She is an expert dieter. She discusses the brutal regimes she did in the quest for thinness. Like many women she was trapped in the calories in, calories out game. 

She did daily gym sessions (sometimes multiple) and survived in 1200 calories a day, until that all become too much and she would binge on all the things. She lived a life of deprivation and scarcity mindset trapped in all or nothing thinking. Bec chats about the incredible mind shift that she has experienced doing the 12 week Mind Body rebalance.

This week Dr Lucy chats with US based surgeon and carb addiction specialist Dr Robert Cywes. Dr Cywes treats hundreds of patients with carbohydrate addiction and see obesity as the result of addiction not the actual problem. Like Dr Lucy and Dr Mary, he is really interested in helping people get to the root cause of their relationship with food. In his practice he treats obesity and metabolic disease by using an addiction model rather than a diet model. Interestingly in addiction medicine, we use a range of medications, many of which are now being used in obesity
