Hello Keto!

šŸ”„ I’m Going Back to Keto—And Here’s Why Every ā€œLippy Ladyā€ Should Be Paying Attention

There comes a moment in every healing journey where you realize…

You’re not done yet.

Not because you’ve failed.
Not because your body is broken.

But because your body is asking for another level.

And right now—this is mine.

The Truth About Lipedema That No One Talks About

Lipedema is not just ā€œstubborn fat.ā€

It is inflamed, hormonally sensitive, metabolically active tissue that responds to:

• insulin
• estrogen
• inflammation
• stress
• toxins

Which means this:

šŸ‘‰ If those systems are off… lipedema tissue grows.
šŸ‘‰ If those systems are optimized… lipedema tissue can calm down.

And one of the most powerful levers we have?

Nutrition.

Why I’m Going Back to Keto (and Leaning Carnivore)

The research—and more importantly, clinical experience—continues to show:

šŸ‘‰ Ketogenic-based diets are one of the most effective tools for lipedema.

Why?

Because they:

• lower insulin
• reduce inflammation
• stabilize blood sugar
• shift the body into fat-burning mode
• calm hormonal signaling to fat cells

And lipedema tissue?

It is extremely sensitive to insulin and sugar spikes.

So if I want to shrink this tissue naturally…

I need to create an environment where my body says:

ā€œWe are safe. We can burn.ā€

My Personal Turning Point

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know this part of my story—but it matters here.

My lipedema didn’t just ā€œappear.ā€

It ignited.

After:

• a surgical procedure (varicose vein stripping)
• a massive life stressor (leaving my first real doctor job)
• a toxic relationship
• environmental exposures (hello, mold and water damage)

My body went into full survival mode.

And in just 3 months… I gained 65 pounds.

While training for an Ironman.

Let that sink in.

This was never about discipline.

This was about a body under attack.

The Part No One Prepares You For

Even after you start healing…

It’s not always linear.

Many of my warriors—and I include myself in this—notice something:

šŸ‘‰ With each exposure…
šŸ‘‰ With each stressor…
šŸ‘‰ With each hormonal shift (hello, menopause)...

It can feel harder to get back to baseline.

But here’s the truth:

Just because it’s harder doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

It just means we have to be more intentional.

My ā€œAll-Inā€ Protocol Right Now

Because I have access to tools most people don’t…

I am going all in.

Not just for me.

But for every woman sitting there thinking:

ā€œWhy is my body doing this to me?ā€

Here’s what I’m doing:

šŸ”„ Nutrition

• Ketogenic / carnivore-based approach
• Lowering insulin and stabilizing blood sugar
• Creating a true fat-burning environment

🧬 Hormone Optimization

• Supporting hormonal balance
• Reducing signals that drive fat storage

ā„ļø CryoSkin

• Every 2 weeks
• Freezing and breaking down inflamed fat tissue
• Supporting physical reduction of lipedema areas

šŸ’§ Detox + Lymph Flow

• Sauna
• Cold exposure
• Lymphatic support
• Flowpresso
• Movement

Because if we break fat down but don’t move it out…

We stay stuck.

šŸ’‰ Peptides

• Supporting fat metabolism
• Enhancing cellular repair
• Improving mitochondrial function

šŸ§˜ā€ā™€ļø Nervous System + Stress Work

• Daily meditation
• Active manifestation
• Protecting my peace

Because stress alone can keep the body in fat-storage mode.

ā¤ļø Life Balance

• Time with my husband
• Creating joy
• Remembering why I do this in the first place

Because healing isn’t just about protocols.

It’s about living.

Why I’m Doing This Before Surgery

This summer, I may travel to Greece for surgical treatment of lipedema.

But before I make that decision…

I want to know:

šŸ‘‰ How much can my body do on its own when given the right environment?

šŸ‘‰ How much of this tissue can I calm, shrink, or reverse naturally?

šŸ‘‰ What is possible—not just for me—but for my patients?

Because if I can figure this out…

It changes everything for so many women.

To My Lippy Ladies (and My Mystery Illness Warriors)

If you feel like:

• your body is out of control
• nothing you do is working
• you’ve been told it’s your fault
• you’re exhausted from trying

I need you to hear this:

Your body is not broken.

It is responding to signals.

And when we change those signals…

The body can change too.

The Future of Healing Isn’t ā€œTry Harderā€

It’s:

šŸ‘‰ Understand deeper
šŸ‘‰ Treat root cause
šŸ‘‰ Support the body
šŸ‘‰ Work WITH your biology

Not against it.
