π June is Lipedema Awareness Month π
Did you know that lipedema is estimated to affect around 1 in 9 women, yet many remain undiagnosed or are told it's simply weight gain?
Lipedema is a chronic condition that causes an abnormal accumulation of fat, most commonly in the legs and sometimes the arms. It can be painful, cause easy bruising, heaviness and swelling, and is often resistant to diet and exercise.
Awareness is the first step toward understanding, earlier diagnosis, and better support for those living with this often misunderstood condition.
