Nutrition for Lipoedema & Lymphoedema
Lipoedema and lymphoedema are chronic conditions that affect how fat and fluid are distributed in the body. They can bring pain, swelling, and frustration, especially when weight does not respond the way you expect. At Balance Nutrition, we take a compassionate, anti-inflammatory approach to help you feel more comfortable in your body.
Anti-Inflammatory Eating for Lipoedema & Lymphoedema
Both conditions are linked to chronic low grade inflammation, which can worsen pain, swelling, and tissue changes over time.
A dietitian can help you:
Build meals around anti-inflammatory foods
Reduce foods that can drive inflammation
Support metabolic health such as cholesterol and insulin sensitivity that can be impacted by chronic inflammation
Madison can help you build an anti-inflammatory way of eating that fits your life, without restrictive rules. Telehealth appointments available Australia wide.
Managing Swelling and Fluid Retention
Fluid retention and heaviness in the legs, arms, or other affected areas are common. They can fluctuate from day to day.
A dietitian can help you:
Adjust sodium and fluid intake to help manage swelling
Identify patterns between food, movement, and symptom flares
Madison works with you to find practical strategies that support comfort and mobility.
Understanding Oestrogen in Lipoedema
Lipoedema is closely linked to oestrogen and often appears or worsens at times of hormonal change, such as puberty, pregnancy, and perimenopause.
A dietitian can help you:
Support healthy oestrogen metabolism through fibre and gut health
Understand how liver and gut function influence hormone clearance
Adapt your nutrition through hormonal transitions that may affect symptoms
Madison is passionate about helping women with lipoedema understand the hormone connection and feel more in control of their symptoms.
