FDRS LIVE, Part 3: Lipedema Foundation, Dr. Volshteyn, Lipedema & Menopause, & Connecting Dots in a Family w/ Lipedema

This week we are highlighting the last batch of interviews we recorded LIVE at the 2025 FDRS conference in Atlanta, GA.

In this episode, you will hear from the CEO of the Lipedema Foundation Jonathan Kartt. You'll get to hear right from him the latest goings-on in the foundation and what they are doing to continue research in the community.

Next, you will hear from lipedema surgeon Dr. Boris Volshteyn of Atlantic Surgical Associates in West Long Branch, NJ. To learn more about his services and approach, visit his website at www.atlanticsurgicalassociates.com or his Instagram @atlanticsurgicalassociates

Then you will hear from obesity doctor and menopause specialist Dr. Celia Egan. To learn more, visit her website www.truewomenshealth.com

Last but not least you will hear from two sisters Connie Boyers and Kate Eddens who presented at FDRS about the ways in which lipedema has affected their family and each member's personal approach to it. Connie describes her family wide social media campaign while Kate discusses her personal research into lipedema comorbidities such as Hypermobile EDS and neurodiversity.
