As we begin to close out May, let’s dive into EDS

🧬 What is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)?
If you’ve been told you’re “too flexible,” bruise easily, or live with chronic pain — it might be more than just coincidence. EDS is a group of connective tissue disorders that affects your joints, skin, and even your nervous and immune systems.

🌀 Many people with EDS also experience MCAS — causing rashes, brain fog, food sensitivities, and more.

Swipe through to learn:
✔️ Common symptoms
✔️ Why it’s often misdiagnosed
✔️ How EDS and MCAS are connected

✨ You’re not alone — and there are ways to feel better.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave souls who gave everything for our freedom. 🇺🇸

Your sacrifice is never forgotten — your legacy lives on in our hearts.

With deep gratitude, we say thank you.

Learning SO much at FDRS 2025! Some key takeaways so far:
🔹 Common for Lippy ladies to have increased insulin sensitivity (~48%)
🔹 There’s been an Increase in research for Lipedema
🔹 An important piece of Lipedema care should also include mental health & a registered dietician along side CDT
🔹 Increase protein and vitamin D prior to lippy surgery
🔹80% of Lipedema cases have type 4 Lipedema (arms)

Can’t wait to continue diving deeper — stay tuned!

Spotlight on Dr. Molly & Annapolis Family Acupuncture ✨🌿

Meet Dr. Molly of Annapolis Family Acupuncture, a trusted resource for my oncology and neurologically impacted clients. I had the pleasure to enjoy lunch yesterday with her and first hand see her passion for providing holistic healthcare ! Her team is dedicated to getting to the root cause of health concerns and supporting the body’s natural healing process.

One of the powerful treatments they offer is SAAT (Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment)—an innovative approach that helps address allergies, intolerances, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). MCAS can contribute to chronic inflammation, lymphatic congestion, and fluid retention, making it a critical factor for those managing lymphedema, Lipedema, and other lymphatic conditions. By calming the immune system’s overreaction, SAAT can help reduce inflammation and support better lymphatic flow.

Dr. Molly and her team also specialize in Auricular Medicine, using the ear as a diagnostic and treatment tool to promote deep healing and restore balance in the body.

I’m grateful to have Annapolis Family Acupuncture as a local resource for my Magothy clients! 💙

It’s not too late to do your self breast exam!

Fact: The best time for a self-breast exam is 7-10 days after your period, when hormone-related swelling is lowest.

✅ Reminder: If you’re postmenopausal or have an irregular cycle, checking on the 1st of the month helps keep it consistent!

🌿 March is Lymphedema Awareness Month! 🌿

Did you know that lymphedema affects up to 10 million Americans—more than MS, ALS, Parkinson’s, and muscular dystrophy combined? Yet, it remains widely misunderstood.

Lymphedema occurs when the lymphatic system is impaired, leading to swelling, discomfort, and an increased risk of infection. While there is no cure, conservative management strategies—like manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, movement, and skin care—can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.

Follow along this month for weekly tips and strategies to support your lymphatic system and improve your overall well-being! PLUS, I’ve got some exciting specials and freebies coming your way—including a Lymph Love Basket giveaway on March 6 in honor of World Lymphedema Day! 💙💫

Stay tuned, and let’s spread awareness together!
