What I actually do daily to support Lipedema

I get asked all the time:
👉 “What do you actually do?”
Not the theory.
Not the long explanations.
Just real life.
So this is it.
This is what I come back to over and over… because it helps my body.

First—How I Eat
I follow a ketovore way of eating.
Not because it’s trendy.
Because it works for me.
👉 When I stay here, my inflammation is minimal.
For me, that looks like:
  • mostly animal-based foods
  • simple meals
  • lower carb without overthinking it
When I drift away?
👉 I feel it.
When I come back?
👉 my body settles down again.

Morning: Water, Sunshine, Then Coffee
Before anything else…
👉 I go outside with my water.
  • 15–30 minutes of morning sunshine
  • mineral-rich water in hand
This helps:
  • wake up my system
  • support hormones
  • hydrate the right way
Then I have my coffee.
But not just plain coffee.
I add:
  • butter
  • collagen
  • creatine
So instead of a spike and crash…
👉 I get steady energy and support for my body.

Opening My Lymphatic System
Still in the morning, I do this daily:
👉 open my lymphatic points with a little of my essential oil infused massage oil. 
Then:
👉 10 minutes on a low-speed vibration plate
This helps:
  • move fluid
  • reduce that “stuck” feeling
  • support circulation

Hydration + Minerals (All Day)
I don’t just drink water.
👉 I drink mineral-rich water 3–4 times a day
And I:
  • salt my food to taste
Because this supports:
  • lymph movement
  • proper hydration
  • overall balance

Protein (Very Intentional)
I aim for:
👉 about 0.8 grams per pound of ideal body weight in protein
Because:
  • muscle supports metabolism
  • protein supports repair
  • helps keep me steady

Movement: Daily Flow
Every day I keep it simple:
👉 100–200 rebounding “health bounces”
Just enough to:
  • move lymph
  • keep things flowing
I also do self lymphatic massage regularly.
Nothing complicated.
Just helping my body move what it already needs to move.

Afternoon: More Active Movement
Later in the day, I’ll get back on my vibration plate…
But this time it’s more active:
👉 squats
👉 arm movements
👉 using my upper body as much as I can
This helps:
  • circulation
  • muscle engagement
  • moving lymph from the arms and upper body

Strength + Resistance (At Least 2x a Week)
This has become really important for me.
👉 at least 2 times a week, I focus on strength and resistance training
Nothing extreme.
But intentional.
Because:
  • muscle supports metabolism
  • helps with structure and stability
  • supports long-term health with lipedema

Hormone + Nervous System Support
This is part of my daily rhythm.
Morning:
  • SclarEssence
Night:
  • Progesterone
This supports:
  • hormone balance
  • nervous system
  • overall stability

Magnesium + Calm Support
I also use:
  • magnesium
  • GABA
Because:
👉 calming the nervous system helps calm inflammation

Liver Support
Before bed:
👉 Longevity oil over my liver
Supporting:
  • detox pathways
  • hormone processing

Evening: Gentle Movement + Worship
At night, I slow things down.
Sometimes:
👉 gentle vibration plate
Nothing intense.
Just light movement…
And honestly, this is also my time to:
👉 praise Jesus
Arms up.
Gratitude.
Letting my body settle.

Weekly Support
Sauna (At Least Once a Week)
👉 helps circulation
👉 supports detox pathways
👉 helps me relax
And I feel the difference when I stay consistent.

My Hydration Guideline
I aim for:
👉 about half my body weight in ounces of mineral-rich water daily

What I’ve Learned
This isn’t about doing everything perfectly.
It’s about:
👉 doing the right things consistently
When I stay in this rhythm:
  • inflammation stays lower
  • my body feels less tender
  • energy is more steady
  • things flow better

If You’re Overwhelmed
Start simple:
👉 clean up food
👉 add minerals
👉 move your body
Then build from there.

Final Thought
This is what works for me.
Not perfect.
Not complicated.
Just consistent.
And that consistency?
👉 that’s where the change happens
