OUR COMMUNITY
So many lipedema ladies have joined our community because of the holistic learning that only love, support, and guidance from like-minded others can facilitate. As our community grows, we can’t help but look back at our beginnings and feel deep GRATITUDE to everyone! Truly TOGETHER IS BETTER!
Having this disorder can bring so much pain and anxiety that can make you feel like you’re alone, misunderstood, and unheard.
PLEASE remember…
We see you, we hear you, we feel YOU. We have your back!
And this month of June, celebrate Lipedema Awareness Month with us as we open many of our TRIBE community events FREE for everybody for the entire month!
We’ll have webinars, meditation classes, exercise and stretching classes, a book club, and many more activities to raise awareness and expand our existing knowledge of Lipedema.
We hope you join us! Your presence means a step towards your own self-care and adds to the whole community. Hope to see you soon!

About The Lipedema Project
The Lipedema Project was founded in 2014 by Dr. Mark L. Smith, MD, FACS and Catherine Seo, PhD to begin the research and treatment for lipedema, a chronic fat disorder. Lipedema is a disease involving abnormal fat deposition that can result in pain, immobility, and lymphatic disturbances. Lipedema progresses over time often developing lymphedema, a chronic condition called lipolymphedema.
With obesity reaching epidemic proportions and anti-fat bias prevalent in healthcare, it becomes critical that patients are correctly diagnosed, that resources are invested in understanding this disease and how it can be treated, and that patients have the support, knowledge, and options to manage these chronic conditions.
Currently, The Lipedema Project, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization devoted to increasing awareness and providing education, research, and treatment for lipedema through online and face-to-face programs and building community.
The lipedema documentary is available for viewing on Facebook, Lipedema – The Disease They Call FAT.
The book is available on Amazon, Lipedema – The Disease They Call FAT: An Overview for Clinicians.
