Title: An Eastern Medicine View of Lipedema

URL: http://lipedemauniversity.lipedemapr...

Intro: There's two things in Eastern medicine that I think are really important in the conversation about lipedema. One is that if you're stressed for a second, cortisol rises. Adrenaline rises too. It goes down. Cortisol stays in the system for a day or two because it needs to be. We evolved to have that happen because if the lion jumps out of the woods and it's going to come towards us and eat us, then our adrenaline rises, our cortisol rises. The lion goes away, the adrenaline drops, but the cortisol needs to stay up for a day or two because the lion might be in the neighborhood. You need to stay vigilant. But there's no lion now.
