Today, I'd like to share an excerpt from an interview conducted during the Lipedema Worldwide Summit in 2016, which came about after a serendipitous meeting with Catherine Seo at the inaugural NIH symposium on the lymphatic system in Bethesda, Maryland in 2015. This encounter marked the inception of a fruitful collaboration. Catherine graciously invited me to present my research findings on the intersection of lymphedema and obesity at the Summit. In this episode, I provide insights into my pilot study and its outcomes.
