This last weekend was the annual Fat Disorders Resource Society conference in Atlanta, GA, and we got the hot takes right off the press (and some fresh off the presentation stage) coming for you! This week is part 1 of 3.

On this week's episode you will hear from Cheyenne Brinson, the president of FDRS; Dr. Thomas Wright, lipedema surgeon and medical director for Lipedema Surgical Solutions; Dr. Ana Carolina, plastic surgeon and arm liposuction specialist in Sao Paulo Brazil; Angel Anderson, president of Lipedema Canada; and Virginia Zuilu, international lipedema and hormone nutritionist.

There is such a wealth of wisdom in all of these voices! We hope you enjoy part 1! You will be able to see all of the presentations for FDRS 2025 soon on youtube.
