- Title: Understanding the Causes of Lipedema
URL: lipedema-university.lipedemapr...
Intro: The problem with genetic work is that you have to have, ideally, families, where you've got some family members clearly affected and some family members clearly not affected. And then you can use the DNA from the entire family, and work through and find out what happened, and what genetic abnormalities you can find in those that are affected versus the non-affected.
Thanks for this intelligent presentation on a very important health problem. Most doctors I come across pretend it doesn't exist.
My leg was swollen for many months and I almost died of depression, but thank God I came across Dr Iyhere on youtube. With his herbal medicine I was cured and my leg went back to it normal size
Ikr?? And I don't understand, why?? Why do they keep brushing it off?
The best video about lipedema I have seen. Great info, absolutely realistic. 👌🏻 👌🏻 👌🏻
In summer I was hit by a car and for a month after I felt AMAZING. I spent the night in the hospital (only facial injury). They gave me a saline drip, a dye for an ECG, and a blood thinner.
For one month after the accident, I had no swelling and my Lipo pain was gone, even my hip and back pain was better. Please consider that for further research. I am available for more details.
You might be on to something. I've always limited my salt until 5 months ago. I started the carnivore diet (plenty of salt involved). I lost 15 lbs Id say 10lbs of lipo fat. I never thought that was possible and I've tried everything. I have some way to go but Im sticking with it.

@@michellegladiator4940 how? I thought salt makes it worse by trapping the water?
Do you think it was the blood thinner?
@@michellegladiator4940 🤯 A lot of lippies have goiter and or thyroid issues which are said to be from a lack of iodine.
Cushing's disease I had for 8 years seems to be what brought Lipedema in. I had to have my pituitary removed in the 2nd surgery so a few of my hormones were ripped out and then I started on medication to replace those hormones.
Pretty sure I have this condition in my arms, I’m only 27 but I feel peas under my fat, and have issues with lots of blood vessel issues already. The hardest is that I’m a healthy weight, however my arms seem to hold onto weight. My mother has arms smaller than mine and she is over 30 lbs heavier.
Check and Cohen who described oedema that resolved with recumbancy, and a number of other conditions that resolved/ improved with administration of dextro-amphetamine, who suggested the possibility of sympathetic nervous system deficit- Wondering as I listen to this if some aspect of capillary “leakiness” as suggested by these authors could be at work in this condition. Interesting to try the fluid challenge test they describe.
THIS is important!!! I've had issues since 18. I later regularly used to use amphetamines and my legs improved a lot... But I didn't actually lose weight during this time (oddly I actually gained weight at this period). I then got sober and list weight and my legs looked worse than ever... Then I got diagnosed with ADHD this year and started to take lisdexamfetamine (which is dextroamphetamine) and my legs have improved when I take it :-/

I had vein treatments in my calfs because the vrins were not working right and my ankles and calves hurt and were puffy. The edema went away but is now in my thighs. I think vein health has something to do with it.
Interesting comments about orthostatic oedema. Thinking about the research published by a group of researchers and clinicians DH Streeten,
The Lipoedema virus is very vicious, it is a tough virus that spreads and duplicates especially in the boby creating disturbances. If you have Lipoedema but find conventional treatments too expensive, ineffective, or worried about the side effects of all of these chemical drugs, this natural treatment is great for you.
Dr Oninialo47 for natural remedy for Lipoedema is much more effective than the drugs commonly used to fight Lipoedema. You can reach out to him on WhatsApp +2349037613209 or email:Droninialo47@gmail.com

In my case, it developped after menopause. I had been more overweight in my 40s but I had no lipodema then. I have a lot of pain, especially at night but I can control it with ipubrofen and CBD. Ipubrofen is a lot better but I can't take it all the time.
Funny about the orthopedic surgery. I had an arthroscopic lateral release for my patellar instability.
May we soon find the abnormality and affected genes
I don't imagine that happening anytime soon. Anything that is a 'womans' disease/illness is never researched/funded. If this starts affecting men, there will be a cure over night, guaranteed.
Its the hormones that cause this. Foe some reason the fat cells behave dufferently. This happens to mostly women. Also mostly after a hormonal change like your first menstrual cycle, every fee years your hormones change a bit so ir could occur then, your first pregnancy.

And these are just a few illnesses, diseases, cancers and syndromes women experience or are more prevalent in women, that have no cure or investment.
Men can't even deal with prostate exams, women and very young females are prodded poked have implaments and cameras put in our intimate parts to get checked for illnesses etc.
When a woman suffers from a vaginal prolapse due to pregnancies etc there is no cure. Meanwhile when a man has erectile dysfunction...bam a pill is made.
When a man has prostate problems they have literally made a test that isn't invasive.
I wonder how much the birth control does this? :-( my lower body were find until I started to take one of those when I was about 18.
My mom was thin. But if I look at my paternal aunt and grandmother they had the typical look of thicker arms and legs. Later they developed a larger trunk after childbirth. Could hardly walk in their 80’s due to edema and pain. I’m heading that way at only 50. Never understood why I had a small upper body compared to my hips and legs at 12. After child birth my trunk started growing. It’s very disheartening to diet and diet and still not lose anything in the midsection, arms and upper thighs. I’m trying again with a low carb diet to see if it will help. My feet and legs are in so much pain. And I have developed venous insufficiency. Not to mention I’ve had knee pain since I was 15 and now it’s much worse.
It does come on before puberty on those who are offsping of a mother that took DES (synthetic estrogen that was later banned) during pregnancy.
Is this a part of Ehlers-Danlos?
When I get my blood pressure, it’s excruciating. 😢
From researching this online, and looking at the different stages of lipedema, it seems like stage 1 which is quite mild, seems to be attributed to basically anyone who is pear-shaped. So I'd love to know if everyone who is pear shaped has lipedema?? And will it always get worse and end up looking like the last stages?
This is what I want to know too. But I suppose unless pear-shaped people have pain, tenderness + they bruise easily on the legs (symptoms that seem to go hand in hand with lipedema) 06:29 as he says here... without those symptoms, pear shaped women don’t have lipedema, it’s just their natural body shape / how they store fat. That’s my guess.
pear shaped women still have quite slim ankles. it’s not about being pear shaped it’s mostly abt the column like legs. it does get worse, though liposuction can help
I am an hr glass. Even at late stage 1. If that helps with your wondering 😊

I'm hourglass and have never been obese. No matter how skinny I get, I have "cankles" and fat knees. Fat on the top and sides of my knees and cellulite. Also back of my arms always.
I all of a sudden have this....my upper thighs. I don't understand why. My diet isn't bad but I'm overweight by about 25lbs due to be sedentary.
@Gsr Badell I drink 3 to 3.5 litres a day plus tea

It runs in my family. Most women on my moms side have lipo-lymphedema(because they wait to long to seek treatment). I have never had a weight problem but just within the past 4 months my legs and hips and upper arms have gained an excessive amount of weight. My legs are like 80% stretch marks And it is devastating because I was just starting to feel confident in myself and now I can only wear pants because my legs are almost completely covered in stretch marks. I’ve tried going to the doctor to get it confirmed as lipedema but I’m apparently not fat enough for anyone to take me seriously.
I feel inspired to learn more about Lipedema. Where can I do the part at 2:25 so I can learn what Lipedema feels like?
None of my family on both sides have this ...but I'm getting huge and eat like a primary school age kid. I have tried several diets none work my legs are swelling and I get burning feelings in my legs and I've got fluid like underr knee....I was always naturally skinny
I believe natural herbs can cure this because am a living witness to this
@@cleopatralily5879 I only see natural docs .. and not everyone's body can handle herbs . ..my natropath told me things my doc never because blood test never say everything
@@melaniemcqueen1339 yes that is true but natural roots and herb are 100% sure and it helps in every way if only we humans in this part of the universe can involve in taking natural herbal remedy to our illness and I thank Dr for helping me out
I have a bath every night, first hot then colder. Seems to ease the feelings in the legs. For me it feels like when I had growing pains as a child.
Also, Cleopatra is a bot, if you want to save some time
physical exercise may work. Keep your calories low so that it is manageable
honestly I wish I knew about this before I had my daughter. she's 12 now and she's hit puberty already. and she has it like I do. now she's going to be plagued with the very same hell as I am going through. beat way to stop this genetic disorder is to not breed. I hope my daughter chooses not to have a child.
mi mama tuvo 5 hijas yo fui la unica que tiene esto
😳😳😳
WTF.... Quit breeding because of this? ! you sound idiotic as f... eugenics is probably your way of thinking.
WOW! OR call me crazy- you could adopt healthy daily habits to keep it in check. Spend time learning about this disease together with your daughter and then fight it together. Learn new habits and help hold each other accountable. If she has lipedema, it will only get worse unless lifestyles are changed.
Lipedema doesn't have to reach the later stages- and lipedema doesn't equal obesity. You can be a relatively fit person and live life with this disease.
Lipedema hit me when I was 12 as well. I'm 36 now and just found out about Lipedema this year. This discovery gave me the answers to all the questions I had when I was young. Like why are my knees so fat? 😂 Had I been armed with this information then? Gosh, I could've avoided years of agony and yoyo dieting.
With a healthy diet and daily movement, I'm keeping this under control. It's possible, but you can't keep the same habits and expect it not to flare up and get worse.
I had a terrible diet growing up and I blame the lack of education around what constituted a healthy diet for my struggles. I was 190lbs at 25yo before I woke up and changed my life. I now focus on eating whole foods, no more processed junk. I move my body daily- some days just on dog walks around the neighborhood. With all this, I've been able to maintain around 140lbs for the past 10+ years, even with lipedema. It's not a death sentence. And honestly, if you keep it in check at a young age you end up with the current "ideal body type" I have a 27in waist and 41in hips🙃😆
So yea, if you're reading this- don't give up! And don't let this disease stop you from living life the way you want, whether that's having kids or not.
@nola528 thanks for your words but im already doing all of this now.
The leg fat, no matter how restrictive i am on my food, will not go away. Ive been active for 10 years myself.
I just want to make sure that it doesnt get bad for her but at some point we will both have to get rid of it with lipo.
Literally my biggest fear that my 16 year old daughter will get this as well. So far she seems to have her dads genes when it comes to body but I still worry about it.
People in the past didn't experience these conditions... So, i personally suspect it has something to do with genetically modified food .. and processed food. Food industries are playing experiments on us to make us addicted to their products, and thus are making us sick in ways we haven't known before.
What can you do ?
You can control things by controlling your family food intake...
- Zero tolerance to fast food / processed food ..
- Zero / minimum food from restaurants..
- All food is to be cooked at home, from organic fresh ingredients..
- No processed ingredients..
- incorporate medicinal herbs and spices in meals
- Encouraging of active lifestyle.
@@gambo2246 you're talking rubbish tbh. My grandmother suffered this and so did her mother and great grandparent. I can see the body shape in the photos of them clearly.
There is certainly some sort of genetic history.
I do however agree with your points about eating properly and that a lot of processed food is making people unwell and making conditions like this worse.
I got and I'm a guy

i am scared i have this. my fat in my legs and arms feel lumpy like pearls, and one of my legs has swollen a little. i am only young :/
My thighs seem to be huge while my upper body is way smaller very scary.😢
My legs burn and feel prickly sensation
I wonder if medical insurance will cover treatments or lipo for lipedema. I gave birth, and my body got huge on the bottom area and upper arms. And tons of cellulite. It's been 1 yr and a half and the fat doesn't go away. I'm really sad with my body.
I really feel you. It’s honestly scared me because I don’t feel I did much to deserve this. I didn’t eat crazy and I was very thin before it happened. I feel terrible about myself

Yes, some insurance will cover it.
@@caitlovesasmr yes! I tried dieting as soon as 3 months after giving birth and no weight came off. 1 year later I'm here giving it a second try to see if it works after time 😔
It must be genetic and environmental. I lived in Jamaica for 30+ years, and never, not once, did I see anyone who appears to have lipoedema. There are overweight ppl, but they don't form lumps
Please look at childhood diet (because if a mother has a sugar and salt addiction, like mine did, they will pass that onto their daughters). Affectively, some women give too many toxins to their babies and children...my Mum ate a lot of crap while she was pregnant, despite being slim). She has chunky blobby thighs and so do I and my sisters.
I think the toxins are floating around from a young age and hormonal changes cause the lipo fat to start gathering and causing problems.
Most of us were slim children (but may have had slightly larger thighs and bums/tums because we ate too much sugar and/or salty food).
Canned foods, salt added to meals, food colourings and flavourings were all the norm many years ago...

BULLSHIT.. my daughter eats sugar, and always has, she is THIN with THIN LEGS!
My grandma , my mom and me . We have trunky legs , a big butt . I can exercise a lot , nothing changes . I know have growing lumps under my knees .after menopause it seems to start .

Yep! ... my mom called her legs tree trunks. and she said she looked like the liberty bell. Ah.. She exercised and lost 100 pounds, but nothiing changed in the butt and legs.
I thought Lipedema had a completely different fat and vascular composition than your average joe overweight/obesity fat.
I lost 150 pounds my legs remain the same they look deformed.
He would absolutely trigger my anorexia if he was my doctor...too judgmental in his presentation....
I do agree with that and his treatment plan isn't really treatment. Telling a patient who has this condition to not gain weight is like telling a person with no legs to get up an walk. Pointless and completely unhelpful.
What about liposuction? He never mentioned this
It is resistant to exercise :-( I bloody wish I had heard of this when younger because I have suffered so much and it's awful.
I've weighed as little as 8 and 1/2 stone and this point my face stated to waste away and I exercised and still my legs didn't change much at all! I had a 25" inch stomach and my ribs and collar bones stuck out and I looked very thin on top... But my legs barely lost an inch off my thighs. Size 6 on top and a 12 on bottom :-(
I am so upset that my lower half has caused me so much self esteem issues and eating disorders in the past trying to deal with this.
Dominick Tekos Girl, yes. Same. In high school I used to sob and whip my thighs with a metal coat hanger I was absolutely overwhelmed with despair. I would only eat a slice of bread a day. If I was weak and ate anything else I would go make myself throw it up...which was another trauma because I'm terrified of vomit/vomiting. I hated them so much I wanted to die.
I wish I could afford Art Lipo lipo for my cankles. They’re the only treatment option that seems to work.
Cut out sugars and carbs, increase sodium and potassium.

Please keep your ignorance to yourself.
This condition is resistent to diet, so, unfortunately, that doesn't work.
A healthier diet & exercise can slow the progression of this disease, so you cant negate the importance of that by saying its resistent to diet. If you've already progressed to the later stages, sure diet won't be as effective but for those of us still in early stages, we can slow the growth. I'm 36, have had this since I was 12 and have stayed in the early stages through a healthy lifestyle. I truly believe a low inflammatory diet is best, so avoiding processed food works well for me. Seed oils, high fructose corn syrup, etc are in everything out there. These are incredibly inflammatory. Inflammation can lead to excess pain. Continuously eating inflammatory foods will cause your lipedema to flare up and grow. Most of us will not end up stage 4 if we follow a healthy lifestyle, that happens after years of continuous abuse to your body. 🙃🤷♀️
True, but it is good to cut out Sugars and Carbs
I'd go as far as saying this is a working class condition due to a lifetime of eating cheap, low quality food and the parents not having the knowledge or inclination to feed their children high quality meat and organic vegetables.
I have only ate organic foods all my life and I have lipodema

@PiscesEmpress1978 I'm talking about it being from when we were babies. Maybe our mother's gave us too much salt and sugar (I know mine did).

What a waste of time and money, researching this. You will NEVER see an athlete or a subsistence farmer with this problem. It's entirely a result of lack of movement. The lymphatic system is the same as the endocrine system, all REGULATED by exercise. When that regulating influence is lost, both systems become extremely sluggish. There are no genetics involved. Any assumed "heredity" is actually just learnt behaviour. Sedentary parents very often raise sedentary children.
Okay, boomer
Not true. I heavy weight train 5 days a week. I have a muscular build which is quite defined on my upper body but the lipedema covers my leg muscles. I squat 410 lbs on my bowflex.
Wrong. People with lipedema have a normal functioning lymphatic systems. U r talking about lymphedema.
@@rockinrver7414 No I'm not. I'm talking about the endocrine system.
@@michellegladiator4940 Weight training is not the same as lots of incidental movement.
