💧 Understanding Your Lymphatic System Matters
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8JgPMuRDfQc&fbclid=IwVERDUAO-sNRleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAwzNTA2ODU1MzE3MjgAAR7qeLAE1gOKZ7mO6bt2vtjb42KmenrgN1nP558-i-gfcOgsWYru0kR4-yho8Q_aem_zzB6GA3DrQoMwNb3u1kzRQ

Many people living with swelling or lymphedema are never fully taught why it’s happening.

The lymphatic system is a vital part of your body’s circulation and immune function, but it’s often overlooked until something goes wrong. When the system becomes overwhelmed or damaged, fluid can build up and lead to swelling known as lymphedema.

I recently recorded a patient-friendly video explaining:
• how the lymphatic system works
• why lymphedema occurs
• why education is such an important part of long-term management

Understanding what’s happening in your body gives you power, not fear. Education helps you make informed decisions and feel more confident managing your care.

I’ll be sharing weekly educational videos to help break things down in a clear, supportive way.

Your lymphatic system is the body’s quiet workhorse, always moving, cleaning, filtering, and protecting, yet most people were never taught how it actually works.

In this post, I break down the lymphatic system in plain language and explain why I call it the body’s hidden river of renewal.

When this system slows or becomes overloaded, swelling, inflammation, fatigue, and immune challenges can follow.

Understanding how your lymphatic system functions is one of the first steps in learning how to support it effectively.

Education is power. When you understand your body, you can make informed choices instead of feeling confused or overwhelmed.

The lymphatic system is one of the body’s most vital yet quiet systems. While the heart pumps blood and the lungs bring oxygen, the lymphatic network quietly handles balance and cleanup—removing waste, filtering bacteria, and returning fluid to circulation.

💜 Break Free from Misconceptions about Lipedema

Discover the Truth Behind the Discomfort.

Are your legs or arms feeling heavy, tender, or bruising easily, despite a healthy lifestyle? This could be more than just weight gain – it might be lipedema, a legitimate medical condition affecting fat storage and fluid management.

Lipedema occurs when tiny blood vessels leak fluid into tissues, the lymphatic system becomes overworked, and fat cells grow abnormally, causing pain and swelling. It's genetic, hormone-related, and not a result of overeating or lack of exercise.

Most people with lipedema have been misguided with weight loss advice when they need specialized care. The good news is that with the right treatment, such as Manual Lymphatic Drainage, compression therapy, and gentle movement, you can alleviate pain, manage swelling, and feel more comfortable.

At Topp Lymphatics Therapy Services, women are empowered with education and evidence-based care to understand and manage conditions like lipedema and lymphedema. You're not alone, and you deserve answers and support, not shame.

Reclaim your power and realign with your mission

🎉🎉Today, the full House of Representatives passed the Lymphedema Treatment Act, moving us one giant step closer to the bill becoming law! 🥳💖🇺🇸

The vote was 402/13 - a tremendous show of bipartisan support! Please take a moment to thank House members and urge the Senate to follow suit and act swiftly to pass the LTA!

https://www.votervoice.net/LTA/Campaigns/90521/Respond

We need to keep the momentum going - we have just one month to get the bill through the Senate! The last in-session day for this Congress is currently scheduled for December 16th. If the bill is not signed into law by the end of this Congress, then we have to begin the process all over again next January!

What IS Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

MLD is a technique that includes stimulating the lymph nodes in the body followed by a light skin stretching technique designed to re-route excessive fluid back into the body’s blood system. This technique accelerates your body’s natural ability to get rid of excessive fluid; your body then processes and moves the fluid back to the blood stream, via the kidneys and the bladder where it is urinated out.
