(Lipedema) Honoring Her Mother by Living Well: The LysaMarie Matamoros Interview

She was her mother's caregiver for her entire adult life and saw the loneliness and pain of immobility associated with lymphedema and lipedema. LysaMarie knew something was different about her lower body, but remained undiagnosed for years. Gastric bypass, endless exercise - nothing helped. It was only when she started connecting on Instagram that she saw other bodies like her own, which eventually led to the medical treatment that helped her reclaim her life. LysaMarie is an inspiration who believes in integrating mind, body, and spirit to manage life (and lipedema). A Reiki master, her dream is to create a center that helps others "take that step" to fight for a better future.  She changed her own perception, and it changed her life, even opening up doors for old dreams to rise up again. This interview was recorded in March 2021. You can watch the video recording of LysaMarie's interview on the Lipedema Channel on YouTube, or on Instagram at @lympha_press.
