On this week's episode of the Lipedema Mamas Podcast, take a listen as Ashley and Shawn chat with internationally recognized lipedema expert Dr. Karen Herbst about the Diagnostic and Preventative center she is heading up in Tucson, AZ with the Roxbury Institute. The conversation was so full of great information, that we split it into two parts. Enjoy part 1!
