When a global publication talks about lipedema, awareness moves forward.
Recently, TIME Magazine published an article explaining what lipedema is and why so many people living with it are still misunderstood or misdiagnosed. In the article, Catherine Seo, PhD, founder of Lipedema Simplified and the Lipedema Project, was interviewed to help shed light on what people with lipedema experience and why recognition of this condition matters.
