Siobhan Huggins is an independent researcher with interests in cholesterol metabolism, inflammation, and metabolic diseases.She first went on a ketogenic diet for weight loss in August of 2016, and found that it resulted in numerous physical and mental health benefits. After meeting former podcast guest Dave Feldman at Ketofest 2017, Siobhan's passion for lipidology was ignited and she was driven to research all she could in an attempt to figure out how lipids were involved in the immune system and chronic diseases.After losing 80 pounds, she referred to a lipedema specialist for a possible diagnosis, which sparked her interest in the condition as a whole and the people it affects every day. She was finally diagnosed with lipedema in 2021, and she promptly joined the board of the Lipedema Project as a Research Specialist.She presents at various conferences on lipedema pathophysiology and the mechanisms of why ketogenic diets may be uniquely beneficial for managing lipedema symptoms and progression. She has since written several published articles on many platforms, including on Dave Feldman's Cholesterol Code website.

Leslyn Keith is an author, speaker, educator and certified lymphedema therapist who treats people with lymphedema and obesity.I had a fascinating talk to her about this very important but not often discussed health problem. I certainly learned a lot and look forward to another podcast to delve deeper and answer listeners questions.Lymphedema is the buildup of fluid in the body's soft tissue when the lymph nodes become damaged or blocked. Lymph is carried through a network of lymph vessels, tissues and organs around the body. When the lymph can't flow through the body for some reason fluid builds up and causes swelling. It is a common problem after cancer treatment but can happen for other reasons as well. Leslyn talks about how diet and exercise can help with the symptoms. She has a programme available for practitioners who treat lymphedema and is extending this to an online programme for the public. If this is something you suffer from or know someone who suffers from, I recommend you contact Leslyn, follow her blogs and read her books.
