ATMS Lipoedema Symposium – Sydney, 30 March 2025
The Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS) dedicated an entire day to the topic of lipoedema at their recent symposium in Sydney — a powerful indication of the growing recognition this condition is receiving within the broader healthcare community. This focus reflects the tireless advocacy and awareness-raising efforts led by Lipoedema Australia, whose work continues to bring this often misunderstood and underdiagnosed condition into the spotlight.

Reclaiming your health: Nutrition and lipoedema
As a clinical nutritionist with lipoedema, I know first-hand how confusing the world of nutrition can be—especially when you are living with a condition that is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. When living with lipoedema, the journey of trying to manage symptoms, maintain a healthy muscle mass and weight, and improve energy levels can feel overwhelming. The constant misinformation and dismissive attitudes towards our symptoms, often written off as excess weight gain caused by overeating, can make it even harder to stay motivated.
