Episode Synopsis

This episode is a bit different than what we've done before. I had the chance to speak with Dr. Guy Eakin, the Chief Science Officer of The Lipedema Foundation. Dr. Eakin provides some background on the Foundation and the work they are doing to provide funding for lipedema research.In our conversation, we learn a bit about the main areas of research that are the current focus of The Foundation, what projects they have recently funded, and some of the areas of research that appear promising at this time. We also talk a bit about the challenges of the research and why developing tools for the diagnosis of lipedema is so difficult.And finally, we talk about how those of us with lipedema can contribute to lipedema research.Lipedema Foundation LInks:Home page: https://www.lipedema.org/Lipedema Foundation Registry: https://www.lipedema.org/registryHow to Find a Specialist: https://www.lipedema.org/findspecialistsLipedema Brochures: https://www.lipedema.org/brochureFoundation Blog: https://www.lipedema.org/blog Innovative Solutions for Lipedema & Lymphedema Symposium 2021 Registration: https://learn.lipedema-simplified.org/holisticsymposium-oct2021Intro Music "Walk in the Park,"Bumper Music "Folk Bed" andClosing Music "In the Field" all courtesy of Jason Shaw at Audionautix - https://audionautix.com/index.php
