Why Love and Lipedema Awareness Came to Life

My Incredible Lipedema Providers

Dr. Santangelo and Bonnie are truly my heroes. They were the 1st providers I had ever met with who listened to my words, validated my medical concerns and emotions, and truly cared enough to help me. I hope that everyone is able to find providers like them in their lipedema journey. With the help of this team, I was able to make peace with my body. I also gained the confidence I needed to raise awareness and help others in their journey to diagnosis, treatment, and self love.

It's me, hi, I have lipedema, it's me...

Hi! My name is Amber :) My story is probably similar to many of yours.

My mission is simple: to help anyone and everyone I can. The more we educate and make others aware of lipedema, the further research and treatment will advance. We can hope one day there will be a cure. For now, we can rally around one another and offer support that many of us have been denied in this journey.
