Insight into the New German Guidelines on Lipoedema with a Special Focus on Nutrition

Today, I have an excerpt from a presentation by Dr. Gabriele Faerber at Lipedema Simplified’s April 2024 Heart to Heart virtual event: Keto and Beyond: Customizing Your Plan to Joyful Nutrition. Dr. Faerber has been diagnosing and treating venous and lymphatic disorders at Centre of Vascular Medicine Hamburg since 2001. After qualifying in nutritional medicine in 2008, she began focusing on the treatment of overweight and obese patients with lymphatic disorders and lipoedema. Very early on she discovered that a protein-optimized ketogenic diet not only helped patients lose weight but was also able to reduce the typical lipedema symptoms. In this excerpt, Dr. Faerber talks about her work as the coordinator and lead author in the updated and recently released German Guidelines for Lipedema.
