Today, I have an excerpt from a presentation by Dr. Matthew Carmody as part of Lipedema Simplified’s Lipedema Awareness Month Summer Bootcamp on June 24, 2022. Dr. Carmody is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. He recently retired from his practice as an Internal Medicine practitioner to focus on lipedema and obesity medicine. In this excerpt, Dr. Carmody talks about the challenge of lipedema and the intrinsic wisdom that each woman has about her own body. He also discusses some interventions to manage lipedema such as compression therapy and how it may help.
