Today, I'm sharing a segment from a presentation delivered by Dr. Matthew Carmody as part of Lipedema Simplified's Lipedema Awareness Month Summer Bootcamp on June 24, 2022. Dr. Carmody holds the position of Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and is a Diplomat of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. Recently retired from his practice as an Internal Medicine practitioner, he has shifted his focus to lipedema and obesity medicine. In this excerpt, Dr. Carmody delves into the challenges of lipedema and highlights the innate wisdom each woman possesses about her own body. Additionally, he explores interventions for managing lipedema, such as compression therapy, and its potential benefits.
