Alcohol can affect more than just how you feel the next morning. 💜 ⁣
It can influence your sleep quality, insulin response, swelling, fluid retention, and overall health, which are all important pieces of the bigger picture when living with lipedema.⁣
In our latest blog, we’re exploring how alcohol affects the body, what the science tells us, and how to make informed choices without falling into all-or-nothing thinking.⁣
Supporting your health isn’t about following more rigid rules. It’s about understanding your body and finding what works for you.⁣

My journey to becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutr

My journey to becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist was about so much more than a degree.⁣
⁣
✅ I've seen 300+ pounds on the scale.⁣
✅ I've lost 170 pounds and maintained that loss for years.⁣
✅ I've received a lipedema diagnosis.⁣
✅ I've experienced what it's like to feel unheard by healthcare providers, to question my body, and to wonder why the things that seemed to work for everyone else didn't always work for me.⁣
✅ I've learned to listen to my body instead of fighting against it.⁣
✅ I've replaced restriction with sustainable habits.⁣
✅ And I've worked through the fear, shame, and self-doubt that can come with years of struggling with your weight and health.⁣
⁣
💜 Somewhere along the way, I became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. I didn't just change my health. I made understanding it my life's work.⁣
⁣
Today, I bring something deeply personal to the work I do with women navigating lipedema. I have both lived experience and clinical expertise.⁣
⁣
I understand what it's like to be the patient searching for answers, and the responsibility that comes with being the practitioner helping someone find them.⁣
⁣
I've been on both sides of the conversation: The patient and the practitioner. 💜⁣
⁣
And that experience shapes how I approach nutrition, how I support my clients, and why I'm so passionate about helping women feel heard, understood, and empowered to make informed decisions about their health.⁣
⁣
This work is personal to me, because I've lived it. 💜⁣

Having a little fun here! We are excited to welcome you to the...

RISE & RECLAIM: ARIZONA 🌵💜

This is not like any other lipedema retreat.

This is where clinical care comes to you and becomes real life.

Rise & Reclaim was created to bridge the gap between what you learn in the clinic and what actually happens when you go home.

Nutrition. Movement. Lymphatic support. Sustainable routines.
Cooking. Real conversations. And the opportunity to ask questions and learn how to put evidence-based strategies into practice in your own life.

We’re intentionally keeping Rise & Reclaim to just 10 women. We don’t want you sitting in the back of a room. We want to know you, hear your questions, teach you, and help you understand how these strategies can fit into your life.

And somewhere between the learning, cooking, moving, relaxing, and laughing together, something else happens: community.

Come for the plan. Leave with new friends. 💜

🌵 February 4–7, 2027
📍 Near Phoenix, Arizona
💜 Hosted by Katie Glynn, OT & Bonnie Newlin, RDN

✨ Just a few spots remain

And the connection doesn’t have to end in Arizona. We’ll have another opportunity to reconnect in Minneapolis in April.

Arizona in February. FDRS in Minneapolis in April. What an incredible way to start 2027.

If you have lipedema, you’ve probably heard A LOT

If you have lipedema, you’ve probably heard A LOT of nutrition advice.⁣
⁣
And some of it sounds really convincing. 👀⁣
⁣
There’s the woman who says she completely changed her body by cutting out ALL carbs.⁣
⁣
The influencer who says everyone with lipedema needs to avoid the same foods, and she has a quick and easy guide you can purchase. ⁣
⁣
The “expert” who has an exclusive supplement that supposedly fixes inflammation, hormones, gut health, and metabolism all at once.⁣
⁣
These confident statements can make you think something like this. . . ⁣
⁣
Wait… have I been doing everything wrong? 😳⁣
⁣
But I want you to remember a few important things. ⁣
⁣
❌ Confidence isn't evidence. ⁣
❌ An online “promise” isn’t a guarantee. ⁣
❌ A random success story isn’t YOUR story. ⁣
⁣
This is one of the biggest reasons I don't believe in handing women with lipedema a universal list of foods to avoid.⁣
⁣
Your metabolism is individual. ⁣
Your symptoms are individual. ⁣
Your health history is individual. ⁣
And your response to nutrition is individual, too.⁣
⁣
That doesn't mean nutrition advice can't make a meaningful difference. It means we need to look at the whole picture instead of chasing the latest claim on social media.⁣
⁣
So the next time you see a post telling you that one food is “bad” for lipedema or one protocol is the answer, pause before you hit save.⁣
⁣
Ask:⁣
🙋‍♀️ Where's the evidence?⁣
🙋‍♀️ Is this being presented as a possibility or an absolute?⁣
🙋‍♀️ Are they using fear to make their point? ⁣
🙋‍♀️ Are they selling me the solution to the problem they're creating?⁣
🙋‍♀️And does this actually apply to ME?⁣
⁣
You don't need more rules. You need good information, context, and a plan that takes your individual body into account.⁣
⁣
Nutrition for lipedema should help you feel more informed and empowered, not more afraid of food. ❤⁣
⁣
Save this post for the next time your feed starts making you question everything you eat.⁣
