A new study just released on lipedema reinforces much of what I have been sharing with clients. Early diagnosis is key. Educate your clinicians on every visit! The lipedema foundation has a great print out to share with your doctors.

I have heard all three of these episodes and they are great and rich with science-based info for women's health.
Did you know that U.S. scientific researchers weren't required to include women ( or minorities) in their studies until 1993 ?!

Planning my research conference trips for 2026 and this one will be a highlight for sure! Can't wait to go back to Phx in November!
Others so far on my calendar include the Boston Lymphatic Symposium in Feb.
World Massage Festival in July.
It’s important to stay up-to-date with the latest research. Science isn’t static—when new data challenges old theories, it’s key to stay open-minded and evaluate all evidence. More to come on this idea.
This weekend is the International Lymphedema Framework conference
and next week I'll be attending Society for Integrative Oncology conference.

Join to learn about the latest research and ask Bonnie your burning questions.
Gratitude.
It comes up in our home and work life nearly every single day. There’s tremendous research showing how gratitude benefits our mental health — and in these trying times, it’s a practice we invoke often: together, individually, and in our groups.
From the root of the word gratitude, we also get grace — which is a gift freely given. There’s nothing we have to do to experience gratitude; it’s simply available when we pause and notice.
When fear arises, turn the attention to the present moment and recognize the simple things — a good meal, a phone call with a friend, warm clothes wrapped around your body — this gently helps to pull us out of a fear cycle that seems to permeate our culture.
I truly believe it will take our collective focus on transmuting fear into right action, love, kindness, and hope. We can do this together.

Interesting article with research references about those with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and use of GLP-1 drugs.

These medications work by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar and slows the movement of food through the digestive system. While these effects are be...
