EPISODE 5: MEGAN PFEFFER

Today Megan and I are chatting all things Lipoedema. If you are a female with a large amount of lower body fat, that might hurt to touch, and you've tried everything to lose weight using the 'traditional methods', then this podcast is for you. If you are a health professional working with women and you don't know what Lipoedema is, then this is for you.

Megan Pfeffer is a Clinical Nutritionist with a Health Science Degree in Nutritional & Dietetic Medicine. Megan is the founder of I Choose Health, an online nutrition consulting clinic specialising in ketogenic diets for obesity, lipoedema and type 2 diabetes.

Megan is an international author. In November 2019 Megan's co-authored research paper titled 'Ketogenic diet as a potential solution for lipedema' was published in the peer reviewed medical journal 'Medical Hypotheses'. Her first book printed in 2019 'From our coaches kitchens: Ketolicious for lipedema holiday cookbook' for women with lipoedema available on amazon and in print from the US.

Megan recently spent 2 years working as Clinical Nutritionist and Director of Coaching with Lipedema Simplified USA and was on the Medical Advisory Board for The Lipedema Project USA. She has presented at numerous international events, including a recent 1-hour online presentation on the clinical application of ketogenic diets to a group of 50+ integrative doctors in Italy, and a narrated poster presentation at the Lymphatic Forum 2021 online event hosted from New York.

In 2019 Megan discovered she had lipoedema while researching the condition for one of her clients. In 2020 she was diagnosed with Stage 2 Grade 3 breast cancer and underwent a life-saving bilateral mastectomy. Megan loves living a keto lifestyle to manage her health.

After the success of two virtual Low Carb Lifestyle Women's Health Summits in 2020 and 2021, I have decided to continue the conversations and community by creating a podcast. I look forward to brining to you many conversations, knowledge, insight and wisdom, and sharing many of the presentations that were within both the 2020 and 2021 Summit's.
