The Impact of Ketone Bodies on Lymph Vessel Growth
- Welcome to today’s episode where we explore groundbreaking research led by Melissa Garcia-Caballero and her team in Belgium, published in 2019.
- Their study highlights how elevating ketone bodies in the lymph, either through a ketogenic diet or supplementation, can promote lymph vessel formation and facilitate fluid drainage.
- This research holds significant promise for women with lipedema, who often experience swelling, particularly in their lower legs.
- Join us as we discuss how adopting a diet that induces ketone production, like a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet, may support increased lymph vessel formation and potentially alleviate swelling in individuals with lipedema.
