Today is World Lipedema Day 🌍
A global awareness campaign dedicated to lifting the stigma, encouraging early diagnosis, and advocating for more research around this chronic and widely misunderstood disease.
This year, we’re spotlighting an organization helping change the conversation: The Lipedema Foundation 💜
With a mission to define, diagnose, and develop treatments for lipedema, The Lipedema Foundation is the largest funder of lipedema research and has:
• Funded more than $13.6M in research
• Built a free library of resources for patients and clinicians, including 375,000+ brochures and 15,000+ Clinician’s Guides
• Completed 64 research studies with partners at 55 institutions in 10 countries

And this year, they launched a new initiative to help fuel research into the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of lipedema. Stay tuned for more details and how to get involved 👀
