Lipoedema Nutritionist with Megan Pfeffer

Have you ever experienced having a part of your body swell? Ache? Tight skin feeling? Numbness? These are some of the symptoms of Lipoedema, and many women experience this without knowing it is not normal.

Megan Pfeffer, our guest on this episode of Wow Love Light Inspire, talks about Lipoedema, the swelling brought on by the body's accumulation of lymph fluid. The function of lymph nodes is similar to that of a sink's drain. Fluid cannot drain if the drain is blocked.
