It's finally out! Episode 15 of the Spotlight Lipedema is out - featuringPart 2 of my interview with Beth Rylaarsdam. This was a great conversation about how CurvyGirlBeth made her debut. We talk about how lipedema ladies tend to hide from picture or hide themselves and their legs in pictures and why Beth thinks that needs to change. How do we share knowledge of lipedema when we encounter people that appear to have it too.

This episode is a bit different than what we've done before. I had the chance to speak with Dr. Guy Eakin, the Chief Science Officer of The Lipedema Foundation. Dr. Eakin provides some background on the Foundation and the work they are doing to provide funding for lipedema research.

In our conversation, we learn a bit about the main areas of research that are the current focus of The Foundation, what projects they have recently funded, and some of the areas of research that appear promising at this time. We also talk a bit about the challenges of the research and why developing tools for the diagnosis of lipedema is so difficult.

And finally, we talk about how those of us with lipedema can contribute to lipedema research.
