Insight into the New German Guidelines on Lipoedema with a Special Focus on Nutrition
- Today, I have an excerpt from a presentation by Dr. Gabriele Faerber at Lipedema Simplified’s April 2024 Heart to Heart virtual event: Keto and Beyond: Customizing Your Plan to Joyful Nutrition.
- Dr. Faerber has been diagnosing and treating venous and lymphatic disorders at Centre of Vascular Medicine Hamburg since 2001.
- After qualifying in nutritional medicine in 2008, she began focusing on the treatment of overweight and obese patients with lymphatic disorders and lipoedema.
- Very early on she discovered that a protein-optimized ketogenic diet not only helped patients lose weight but was also able to reduce the typical lipedema symptoms.
- In this excerpt, Dr. Faerber talks about her work as the coordinator and lead author in the updated and recently released German Guidelines for Lipedema.
