June is Lipoedema Awareness Month 💜
For many women, it took years to get a name for what they were experiencing. That name is lipoedema.
Estimated to affect 1 in 10 women, lipoedema is a chronic condition causing disproportionate fat distribution in the legs, hips, buttocks and arms — along with pain, heaviness, swelling and easy bruising. It is not simply weight gain, and it is not caused by lifestyle alone.
Yet many people have still never heard of it.
This month, we'll be sharing education, insights and resources to help raise awareness of the real physical, emotional and social impact lipoedema can have on daily life.
Better understanding leads to earlier recognition, more informed conversations, and greater support. This June, as every month, that work continues.
