Menopause & Lipedema: How I Can Help 💜

As a coach, part of my job is to watch for the early signs of lipedema especially during menopause, when hormonal changes can affect fat distribution and the lymphatic system. Lower estrogen levels can sometimes trigger or worsen the condition.

If you notice your legs or arms becoming heavier, more sensitive, or swelling in ways that don’t improve, that’s a signal to take action. Catching it early makes a huge difference in managing symptoms and preventing complications.

I work with women to:
• Spot these warning signs early
• Access the right treatments and healthcare support
• Create personalised lifestyle strategies; exercise, nutrition, and hormonal health to manage the condition

💜 You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Let’s have some real talk about Lipedema fat removal surgeries.

If I had stopped after surgery I would still be where I was on the left.

But if I had done that…
I would not have lost another 22kg.
I would not be as strong, mobile, or pain free and fit as I am now.

For women with lipedema, surgery is not a fix-all it is a RESET button you only get once. As liposuction removes diseased fat cells for good and that matters because it creates less inflammation, reduces load and gives your lymphatic system a chance to start working more efficiently again.

ladies what happens after surgery is what determines whether things truly change.

Training matters
Nutrition matters
Consistency matters

Surgery did 50% of the job and the other 50% was me showing up, rebuilding trust with my body, and giving it the right inputs so it could finally evolve and heal.

If you’re considering surgery, or you’ve already had it and feel unsure about “what now” hear this clearly:

Surgery doesn’t replace lifestyle.
It amplifies it.

And when you get it right the second time around, the results aren’t just physical they’re sustainable and you 100% can achieve what I have.

I want to thank for showing me two years ago that even with Lipedema we can become amazing bodybuilding athletes and achieve what ever we want to in life with the right mindset and tools.

When people ask if it's possible to transform their body and become a competitive athlete while living with lipedema, I point to these photos as powerful proof.

To the women who aspire to transform their lives, I say it all starts with a consistent training plan and personalized nutrition. This 11-month journey showcases my 15kg weight loss, bringing the total weight loss to 30kg in two years.

It can be done even with lipedema.

Skipping breakfast with lipedema? Here’s why you might be sabotaging yourself and your goals!

• Lipedema tissue is highly sensitive to stress hormones, especially cortisol. Skipping breakfast can delay and prolong cortisol release, keeping your body in a higher stress state later in the day.
• Elevated or mistimed cortisol can worsen inflammation, fluid retention, and pain in women with lipedema
• Missing the morning meal often destabilises blood sugar, increasing cravings, fatigue, and energy crashes that make movement and consistency harder.
• For a body already managing connective tissue dysfunction, poor nutrient timing adds another layer of metabolic stress.
• With lipedema, when you eat can be just as important as what you eat for hormone balance and nervous system regulation.

New year. New decisions.
And I’m almost full.

I’ve opened very limited spots for 1:1 Lipedema Coaching and I only have room for TWO more clients before my books close.

If you’re done guessing, done being told “just try harder,” and ready to train and eat in a way that actually works with lipedema then this is your window.

Once these two spots are gone, that’s it.
I’m full.

DM me NOW if one of those spots needs to be yours 💪🔥

Let’s talk about how Lipedema presents underneath the skin.
The image on the left shows lipedema fat, do notice how it’s surrounded by a dense network of blood vessels, fluid, and connective tissue. This structure is what makes lipedema fat different from normal fat (right) that sits just on top of the muscle tissue.

Lipedema fat cells are often larger, inflamed, and fibrotic. They can trap fluid, impair circulation, and cause tenderness or pain to touch. This is why women with lipedema often experience swelling, heaviness, and easy bruising even when following a healthy diet or active lifestyle.

Understanding these structural differences helps explain why traditional weight loss methods don’t fully address lipedema. A calorie deficit - high protein and good fibrous food go a long way to managing lipedema progression but what we are starting to understand is how genetics, hormones and the environment all play a role in it’s development.

What works for the general fitness world doesn’t always work for us with lipedema 💜

Trendy hacks like keto, endless HIIT, or too much preworkout can backfire - raising cortisol, stressing the lymphatic system, and making symptoms worse.

That doesn’t mean we can’t train, eat well, and feel strong. It just means we need to adapt the approach 💪

This is why lipedema-specific coaching matters, so you’re not stuck following advice that was never designed for your body in the first place.

👉 Save this post if you’ve ever felt like “normal” fitness advice just didn’t work for you.

“When I was first diagnosed with lipedema, I felt completely overwhelmed. I didn’t know where to start or what changes I could make that would actually help. That’s when I found Elle. From our very first conversation, she made me feel understood in a way no one else ever had.

Her coaching gave me clear, practical steps I could take right away around food, movement, and even how to manage my mindset. She showed me that it’s not about fixing myself, it’s about working with my body.

I can honestly say I feel more hopeful and confident now than I ever thought possible after my diagnosis. Elle’s support has made all the difference.”

With two lipedema removal surgeries with 12 months each to heal. I forget how far I have come and how amazing my legs look now. I hit a bittersweet milestone today of reaching back to 92.4kg, a weight I have not been at since 2022.
