Today's excerpt is from a free webinar by Siobhan Huggins, presented by Lipedema Simplified in June 2021 during Lipedema Awareness Month.

Siobhan, a woman in her twenties, had only recently discovered her lipedema diagnosis in September 2020. At the time of her diagnosis, she had already experienced significant weight loss through a keto diet.

In this excerpt, she ponders whether her diagnosis was influenced by her weight loss and questions if many women with lipedema are misdiagnosed as obese.

Furthermore, she raises the possibility of selection bias impacting research in the field of lipedema.
