You asked, and we have delivered! This week we are interviewing world-renowned surgeon Dr. Burgos De La Obra from Lipemedical in Madrid, Spain. We had such a fantastic conversation with him that we had to split it up into two parts. Part one we get to hear how Dr. Burgos came to be acquainted with Lipedema, what his virtual consults entail, BMI, and more!

To find more with Dr. Burgos, visit Lipemedical's website www.lipedema.es or his Instagram @drburgosdelaobra_lipedema

**Trigger warning: This episode describes some of the unhealthy ways in which we have tried to navigate diet and nutrition in the past. Listen with care and if you struggle with disordered eating or an eating disorder, we encourage you to seek professional help.

As Lipedema patients, we most likely have all at one time or another done something drastic to try and lose weight. In this episode, Shawn and Ashley open up about some scary ways they've tried to diet in the past and what their mindset is like on the topic these days.

Have a scary dieting story? Let us know! The more we talk about it, the more we can all understand that we are not alone and that healthier living is the way to go.

This week, listen as we discuss these big topics: GLP-1s, the best time for a Lipedema patient to start a family, whether or not Lipedema can come back after surgery, and more...

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?
