"The Disease That's Called Fat"

Lipedema Explained with Dr Jonie Girouard M.D. BSE

Join us for an evening of explanation, exploring if you have Lipedema and how to live better with this condition.

Facilitated by one of the world's leading Lipedema experts, Dr Jonie Girouard M.D. has treated thousands of Lipedema sufferers over the last 16 years across 5 clinics.

Statistics indicate that 1 in 9 women are living with the fat disorder called Lipedema (also spelt Lipoedema).

Lipedema is a relatively common fat disorder that is often mistaken for simple obesity. One of the hallmarks of the disease is that lipedema fat is relatively unresponsive to diet and exercise. These measures may lead to weight loss in other areas, but the size of the hips and legs remains disproportionately large.

If you think you or a loved one may have Lipedema, come along and learn what you can do about it and what treatments are available.

Who is this workshop for?

Difficulty losing weight from their hips or legs
