SUMMARY:Why GLP-1 Medications Work for Some Women with Lipedema  and Not Others: Genetics\, Metabolism & Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition”
DESCRIPTION:Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and newer dual agonists such as tirzepatide are transforming obesity care\, yet many women with lipedema experience highly variable results—from dramatic weight loss to almost no change at all. This webinar will explore why. \n\n\n\nDrawing on the recent study identifying neurobeachin (NBEA) as a novel gene associated with GLP-1–related weight loss\, Linda-Anne Khan will explain in patient- friendly language how genetics\, insulin sensitivity\, and inflammation can shape individual responses to GLP-1 and tirzepatide. She’ll share clinical experience of her patients with lipedema who are using tirzepatide\, highlight key messages from her Lipedema World Congress poster on Metabolic dysfunction\, insulin resistance\, and inflammation in patients with lipedema and review recent anti-inflammatory nutrition research presented in Rome. \n\n\n\nParticipants will leave with a realistic\, compassionate understanding of why responses differ\, and practical strategies to combine medication\, nutrition\, and lymphatic self-care to support better outcomes and quality of life. \n\n\n\nLinda-Anne Kahn\, CLT-LANA\, NCTMB\, CMT\, is an internationally trained lymphedema therapist\, clinical aromatherapist\, integrative health coach\, and board- certified massage therapist with over thirty-five years of experience.

She is also nationally certified by the Lymphology Association of North America (LANA) and has completed advanced studies in Myofascial Release with John Barnes. Linda-Anne is a sought-after speaker at national and international conferences on lymphatic health\, aromatherapy\, and fat disorders. \n\n\n\nAs the director of Lymphatic Therapy Services of San Diego and Beauty Kliniek Aromatherapy Day Spa\, Linda-Anne brings exceptional clinical expertise to her integrative practice. She specializes in the treatment of lymphedema\, lipedema\, and Dercum’s disease\, offering comprehensive care for individuals with complex lymphatic and connective tissue disorders. \n\n\n\nLinda-Anne is the co-author of the United States Standard of Care for Lipedema and the Lymphedema and Lipedema Nutrition Guide\, and she is a founding member of the Lipedema World Alliance. Her commitment to advancing research\, education\, and patient support continues to shape the evolving field of lymphatic and adipose tissue disorders. \n\n\n\nA dynamic educator\, she frequently presents at international and national conferences on topics ranging from lymphatic dysfunction and integrative therapies to aromatherapy and metabolic health in fat disorders. She is deeply passionate about empowering clients with personalized\, compassionate care and guiding them through their healing journey. \n\n\n\nWith more than three decades of clinical experience\, Linda-Anne excels at identifying root causes of chronic health challenges.
