Living with stage 1 lipedema has definitely been a journey, but through a semi-healthy balanced lifestyle, consistent low-intensity movement, walking, and finding tools that personally help my body feel supported, I’ve been able to maintain my legs without progressing to stage 2… even through pregnancy and now moving into my mid-30s. 🤍

I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND NOTHING POSTED HERE SHOULD BE CONSTRUED AS MEDICAL ADVICE. Always discuss medications with your medical provider before adding any supplements to your routine. Do not stop taking prescription medication without discussing with your provider. I learned my body needed sufficient time to reset after weaning off prescriptions before slowly adding in any supplements. My notes of “caused anxiety” were a much more uncomfortable experience than two words imply and took several days to undo by stopping all supplements and then later adding back in the ones that appeared safe for me personally.
I may receive a commission from purchases made through some links here but the commission did not affect my choice to share what I have used or how I felt when using it.
I don’t take every single one of these every single day, but I’ve found benefits for adding supplements into my routine of life. Talk to your doctor first!
I’ve also included some physical things I use to keep my symptoms minor.

It’s a mix of practical safety items, little comforts, and “you never know” supplies. Things like a first aid kit, jumper cables, a flashlight, and water keep me prepared for emergencies, while snacks, tissues, and extra chargers cover those smaller daily hiccups. I also added seasonal must-haves like a blanket in the winter and sunscreen in the summer.
This kit gives me peace of mind whenever I’m on the road, whether it’s for long drives, unexpected delays, or even just lending a hand to someone else. It’s a small way to feel a little more ready for anything.
Helping people relax is essential when giving a massage. However it's important the Therapist is comfortable with the client, atmosphere and equipment as well.
