Lipedema - The Disease They Call FAT

A key insight from Dr. Sandro Michelini’s session at the Heart to Heart Lipedema Congress last September 26-28, 2025:

Dr. Sandro Michelini delivered a powerful overview of how far the field has come in defining lipedema as a distinct disease. He emphasized that lipedema is not merely a lymphatic issue but a chronic inflammatory fat disorder with hallmark features: disproportionate fat accumulation in the limbs, pain, sensitivity, easy bruising, and orthostatic edema while sparing the hands and feet.

With the holidays season in full swing, starches and sugar abound more than usual, putting people at risk of glucose overload frequently.

In the northern hemisphere, there is less sun and temperatures make it more challenging to get good exercise and sun exposure outdoors.

We all have the choice to further our health or give in to pleasures that aren’t the best for our long-term health.

And if you do choose to chase that dopamine, always know the damage is never permanent and there’s no reason to beat yourself up for those choices: we’re all human and we can always choose and strive for better!

Your triglycerides reveal the truth long before your sugar or HbA1c do
🔥 TG > 150 mg/dL
Your body is struggling to handle carbs. Liver is converting extra glucose → fat. Early insulin resistance is already brewing.
🔥 TG > 200 mg/dL
Your liver is in overload mode. VLDL production is high. Fatty liver is very likely. HDL usually starts dropping. This is the “metabolic danger zone.”
🔥 TG > 250–300 mg/dL
Post-meal sugars are shooting up, visceral fat is increasing, and your pancreas is working overtime. This is a red flag for diabetes within years,not decades.
🔥 TG > 400 mg/dL
The entire metabolic system is misfiring. Think high carbs, high alcohol, high sugar, or uncontrolled diabetes.
Fatty liver is almost guaranteed.
⚠️ TG > 500 mg/dL
Not just a “bad report.”
This is pancreatitis risk. Immediate dietary intervention + medical therapy needed.
You can lower your triglycerides with diet, lifestyle and some added neutraceuticals. Message me fir the products abd protocol i use with my clients to reclaim their health

It’s entirely possible to have a perfectly acceptable steak done entirely in the oven, especially now that temps here in the US are now colder and in some places, snowy!

Did this ribeye in the oven for about an hour at 185°F and then a few hours afterward at like 175°F since I was working at the time and didn’t have time to monitor properly.

Then I finished it at high broil for like 4 minutes.

No charcoal, no grill, no gas, no pellets, no thermometer.

Simple IS sustainable 👍



[And of course if you LOVE grilling and are an artiste with tongs, I’m absolutely not diminishing that culinary passion whatsoever; I’m just showing there are simpler ways to cook some decent nutrition if one is so inclined!]

This is the best way to engage in any online interactions. You learn a lot, you might change your own perspective , and you’re more likely to connect with people than to cause divisiveness. All that just makes you feel good.

Unless you just run into something so idiotic that you just can’t even.

We often see online commenters very assuredly tell us that glucose/sugar is the primary fuel source for humans, and therefore we should still fear eating fat.

But here’s my question if that position is true…

Why then do we store way more energy/calories (per energy unit) on our body as fat for potential energy than we do as glycogen/sugar?

(I posed this question to an online commenter a few days ago and still have not received any comment)

A couple of grounded, sobering reminders for the American holiday season.

And for the folks who flip out about numbers 😛

Or… don’t do either!

I understand rationally how we get to recommendations to eat plants, but it baffles me that people who extol science and rational thinking (how I envision a reader of The Atlantic) still hold on doggedly to the myth that eating plants produce health effects for humans, because plants=healthy 🤔

Just from aspects of individual economy and efficiency it actually doesn’t make sense. Nutritionally, you get WAY more bang for your buck eating primarily animal foods. You eat less volume and quantity of food/foodstuff overall, and if the Universe plays out in your favor, you theoretically need less attention to remedying health comverns (saving both time AND money).

But as Kevin Smith wrote in “Dogma”, it’s harder to change a belief than it is to change an idea.

(And yes, if push comes to shove, eating plants in their natural form is usually less bad than pulverized, atomized versions)
