BOLTON, U.K. - eTradeWire -- New Blog Post Explores the Connection Between Lipedema and Eating Disorders

Bury, United Kingdom - August 2, 2024 - Sophie, the founder of the influential blog Lipedema and Me, has published a new blog post titled "Exploring the Connection Between Lipedema and Eating Disorders." This insightful piece delves into the often-overlooked link between Lipedema—a chronic condition causing abnormal fat accumulation in the legs and arms—and various eating disorders.

Lipedema is a condition that affects nearly 11% of women, yet it is frequently misdiagnosed as simple obesity. This misdiagnosis leaves many women without the proper care they need, leading to frustration, isolation, and associated issues such as eating disorders.
