Mini Mikkipedia - Lipoedema: When Fat Loss Isn’t the Issue

In this episode of Mini Mikkipedia, Mikki unpacks lipoedema, a chronic adipose tissue disorder that remains underdiagnosed despite affecting a significant number of women. She explains why lipoedema is not simply “stubborn fat”, but a condition involving altered fat tissue, inflammation, fibrosis, lymphatic dysfunction and pain. Mikki explores why standard diet and exercise approaches often fail to shift affected tissue, while still playing an important role in managing symptoms, inflammation, mobility and secondary weight gain. She also covers emerging evidence around low-carbohydrate and ketogenic approaches, low-impact exercise, compression and lymphatic support, specialist liposuction, and the developing conversation around GLP-1 medications. This episode is essential listening for anyone who has felt dismissed, confused, or blamed when their body has not responded as expected.Highlights:Why lipoedema is biologically different from general body fatHow low-carbohydrate approaches may help reduce pain and inflammationThe role of exercise, lymphatic flow, compression and mobilityWhy specialist liposuction is currently the most direct tissue-targeting interventionWhere GLP-1 medications may fit in future lipoedema management Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order
