Description:

We’re getting into the tissues—literally! In this episode of the Lipedema Mamas Podcast, we’re joined by the incredible Leah Levitan, founder of Lymph Love Club, for a deep and empowering conversation all about fascia—what it is, how it affects the lymphatic system, and why it matters for women living with lipedema.

Leah is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Manual Lymphatic Drainage Specialist, and the heart behind the Lymph Love Club, a space devoted to lymphatic education, self-love, and body-positive care. She’s known for her fun, relatable approach to complex body systems—and she’s on a mission to help people reconnect with their bodies through fascia-focused and lymph-loving practices.

💗 How fascia affects the lymphatic system and lipedema

💗 How to support your fascia at home with love, care, and the right tools
