Lipedema – The Disease They Call FAT is a fat disorder that primarily affects women and is often mistaken for simple obesity. During the past several years we have developed our holistic approach that offers solutions to manage and transform lipedema in 5 aspects: 1) Physical, 2) Mental/ Psychological, 3) Emotional, 4) Spiritual and, 5) Social. Join us to learn how to live your BEST life with lipedema.

Presented by:
Catherine Seo PhD and Matthew Carmody MD

Most doctors don’t know about or believe that lipedema exists. Anti-fat bias is an implicitly held belief by most everyone, including highly trained doctors. It is possible to find your way to health and well-being, even in the midst of this situation. 

Internist, Primary Care Physician Dr Matthew Carmody, and his former patient, me, Catherine Seo, have discovered another way. We formed a partnership for almost 20 years in diagnosing and treating lipedema by collaborating to identify and understand its complexity. We explored pathways to well-being and health, and in doing so formed a deeper understanding of lipedema, lymphedema, and obesity. Join us for this informative webinar.

Presented by:
Leslyn Keith, OTD, CLT-LANA and Jean Coletti, MPT

Jean Coletti, a physical therapist and Vodder-trained lymphedema therapist, specializes in the treatment of lipedema, lymphedema and obesity in her private practice in Asheville, NC.

Presented by:
Catherine Seo, PhD, ZEN teachers Andrzej Stec, JDPSN & Kathy Park, JDPSN

Zen means understanding your true self - what am I? It's recognizing what we are in each moment through direct experience, through actions in our daily life. Without dogma or doctrine, Zen is very simple. It is a practice of understanding ourselves so we can use what we discover to transform our experiences into wisdom and compassion. Then caring for oneself and for others is possible. Join us to learn more.

In 2021, at the age of 25, Siobhan was diagnosed with Stage 1 lipedema. This diagnosis, and the journey that led up to it, resulted in her seeking to understand the condition as thoroughly as possible. Through a combination of information gathered from extensive self-experimentation pre-diagnosis, and from the available research, she seeks to share what she has learned and how she intends to move forward with this information in mind.
