Dr. Schwartz, Founder of Total Lipedema Care and his patient, Nancy Guillen, joined @KCALnews to spread awareness around Lipedema and its effects on women.

Highlighting the fact that 1 in 9 women will be diagnosed with Lipedema, underscoring the lack of awareness surrounding this condition. Dr. Schwartz emphasizes the historical misdiagnosis of Lipedema as obesity, clarifying that it cannot be cured through diet and exercise.

Nancy shared her personal journey and expressed the frustration and emotional toll of feeling unheard until obtaining a diagnosis from Dr. Schwartz. Following surgery, Nancy experienced a significant improvement in her mobility and overall well-being, describing the procedure as "life-changing." Nancy's willingness to share her story provides solace to other women on a similar journey, assuring them that they are not alone.

Dr. Schwartz and Nancy both aim to raise more awareness around Lipedema and its daily impact on women. Total Lipedema Care conducts research with patients to assess the outcomes of surgeries and their life-improving effects. This effort contributes to educating both the medical community and insurance companies about the condition. Through these initiatives, the hope is to shift the focus from Lipedema being an overlooked issue to it being recognized and addressed as a significant medical concern.💜
