Lipedema Explained — Symptoms, Stages, and Treatment Options
In this episode, Dr. Chuback joins us to explain lipedema — a misunderstood fat disorder often mistaken for obesity or lymphedema. We break down what lipedema really is, how it develops, and the treatment options available for patients.
You’ll learn:
