Lipedema and Nutrition: What’s the Link?

  • Today I’d like to tell you about a paper by Drs. Roberto Cannataro and Erika Cione in Italy. The paper is called: Lipedema and Nutrition: What’s the Link?
  • It was published in the peer-reviewed journal ACTA Scientific Nutritional Health in November 2020.
  • These researchers have published other papers about the efficacy of a ketogenic diet in reducing inflammation.
  • In this article, they suggest that one of the potent interventions to reduce inflammation, and thus the symptoms of lipedema, is ketogenic nutrition.
  • The authors specifically state that gluten sensitivity and lactose intolerance is accommodated very well with this way of eating.
  • They encourage clinical trials to test the hypothesis that this diet would work.
