Shawn has been taking a form of semiglutide or tirzepatide for close to 6 months, and now Ashley is giving it a whirl by microdosing semiglutide. Take a listen to how their journeys are going so far! These medications can be about more than just weight loss. They've been known to decrease inflammation, bring down the "food noise," and other health benefits. What are your thoughts? Have you tried it?

Today we are chatting with our friend Jaclyn Ulman. Jaclyn is a Lipedema patient who has had two removal surgeries and is now navigating the world of fertility and egg freezing. She has also enlisted the help of Dr. Karen Herbst during this process to help her do what she can to keep Lipedema progression at bay. Listen as we talk through all the details, the ups and downs, the tips, and as we chat about a big question that so many women have: Do I start my family first? Or have Lipedema removal surgery first?

We're getting a bit more personal with this episode and talking a little more in depth about our faith and how that carries us through the hard times- or as we affectionately call it- the dumpster fires of life. We hope you enjoy and even if you don't share our same beliefs, that you find some encouragement this week and every week here at the Lipedema Mamas Podcast!
