Stage 1 Interest Group

For women with Stage 1 lipedema who are willing to make changes based on what worked for one of our LEG members--while keeping better records. See her FDRS 2024 presentation “How I Lost 30 pounds of Lipedema Fat without Surgery or Exercise.”

Our goal is learn which changes are most important and collect case examples for a Stage 1 Lipedema Treatment Best Practice Guide. This is not a formal research study.

This person made a number of changes including some novel interventions:

  • Mindful eating and time restricted eating (aka intermittent fasting).

  • Treatment for Estrogen Dominance by a Functional Medicine specialist.

  • Infrared sauna combined with meditation.

LEG will provide:

  • A summary of the changes this person made along with a suggested sequence/schedule.

  • Lipedema Data Collection Best Practice Guide covering record keeping including lab data, body measurements, etc.

To participate you should be:

  • Stage 1 Lipedema

  • Pre-menopause and not pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or on hormone therapy.

  • Free from symptoms of mast cell activation (details to be provided).

  • Able to pay for lab tests, medical care, and treatments that may not be covered by insurance.
