This week, Bobbi Conner talks with MUSC's Dr. Katie Schmitt about managing lymphedema in breast cancer survivors.
Here I explain the lymphatic system, a crucial bodily network for overall health and appearance. I explain how the lymphatic system works to remove cellular waste and fluid from your organs and combat infections. I provide science-based tools that support your lymphatic system for the sake of health and appearance, including: how to reduce fluid retention in your limbs, trunk or face, how to eliminate 'bags' under your eyes and brain fog, and how to improve cardiac health and longevity. Because your lymphatic system lacks a central pump, it needs the mechanical forces generated by specific types of bodily movement, breathing and pressure to circulate your lymph properly, and I explain how you can activate these. I also explain how to support optimal functioning of your glymphatic system, a brain- and spinal cord waste-clearing system active during sleep that is crucial for brain functioning and longevity, including to prevent dementia.

Lipedema is one of the most misunderstood conditions women face. It shows up as uneven fat in the lower body that doesn't respond to diet or exercise, often leading to frustration, pain, and a feeling of being dismissed by healthcare providers. Beyond the physical symptoms, the emotional toll is huge. Once treated, many women celebrate simple wins like finally zipping up a pair of boots.San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Hector Salazar and massage therapist Linda-Anne Kahn explain what lipedema really is, how it differs from obesity, cellulite, and lymphedema, and why early diagnosis and treatment make such a difference. With over 40 years of experience working in integrative health, Linda-Anne shares how being diagnosed herself inspired her to help other women find relief through manual lymphatic drainage and holistic care. Dr. Salazar explains how he treats it surgically with liposuction, and how combining surgery with massage therapy, nutrition, and lifestyle changes can improve symptoms at every stage.Together, they break down what works, what doesn't, and why awareness of lipedema matters for patients, families, and providers alike.LinksIf you have lipedema and want to learn how we can help you get the answers and treatment you deserve, request a free consultation with Dr. SalazarMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Hector Salazar-ReyesLearn more about San Diego lymphatic drainage massage therapist Linda-Anne KahnCheck out the book Linda-Anne co-authored, Lymphedema and Lipedema Nutrition GuideLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.

Lymphedema is a chronic condition that develops when the lymphatic system is damaged – whether from radiation, lymph node removal or other interventions. In breast cancer patients, with the removal of underarm lymph nodes, the average rate of lymphedema is 3%. If there is removal of underarm lymph nodes and radiation combined, the risk increases to an average of 12%. Today's episode of PatientTalks, a spinoff of the DocTalks Podcast, features Deb Jazey, a breast cancer survivor who has been living with lymphedema for over ten years. Deb joins host Mandi Fields to discuss the realities of lymphedema, treatment and the emotional impact of the condition.

Beating Cancer Daily with Saranne Rothberg ~ Stage IV Cancer Survivor
oday on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne welcomes Jacqui Bryan, a seasoned expert in functional medicine and nutrition, to explore the realities of living with lymphedema after cancer. From humorous anecdotes about lymphedema-inspired sweatshirts to deep insights about lymphatic health, Saranne and Jacqui shed light on the confusion often surrounding lymphedema, lipedema, and lymphoma, especially in breast cancer survivors. Jacqui draws on her personal experience—being diagnosed with breast cancer 22 years ago and later developing lymphedema—while offering actionable advice and the latest research. Together, they discuss practical ways to prevent, identify, and manage lymphedema, all while empowering listeners to advocate for their health and embrace supportive, fashion-forward solutions, such as colorful LympheDIVAs sleeves. Jacqui Bryan is a certified health coach, registered nurse, nutrition specialist, and accomplished tennis player who proudly wears her own lymphedema sleeve. With a strong background in functional medicine, Jacqui is known for her compassionate, science-based approach to health education. Her expertise has guided countless survivors and clients to better understand and manage chronic conditions, making her a trusted resource within the cancer recovery community. “I needed to find something that was going to take me from victim to badass.” ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:· Lymphedema can develop years after cancer treatment, even if you initially avoided it, especially if you've had lymph nodes removed or radiation.· There is still widespread confusion among patients and even some providers about the differences between lymphedema, lipedema, and lymphoma.· Proactive screening and limb measurements, taken before and after cancer treatment, can significantly aid in the early detection and management of lymphedema.· Avoiding trauma, blood pressure checks, and needle sticks on the affected side is crucial in minimizing risk for those at risk.· Adopting a low-sodium, whole-food diet helps reduce swelling and manage symptoms.· Physical therapy and manual lymphatic drainage are highly effective in controlling lymphedema and maintaining range of motion.· Using compression sleeves, especially modern and stylish ones like LympheDIVAs, can provide both medical support and psychological empowerment.· Staying hydrated, maintaining a healthy weight, and consistent exercise routines, predominantly guided, progressive weight training, support lymphatic health and overall immune function.

Cellulite and lymphedema can sometimes look similar on the surface… But they are very different conditions—one is cosmetic and the other medical. Knowing the difference is key to understanding when lifestyle changes may help and when professional treatment is needed.

I'll also explain how lymphedema develops and the warning signs to watch for.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Chrissy: Hi dr Cabral Is it ok to that estrogel and progesterone for menopause if you have lymphoedema ? Or will it make it worse .. kind regards Chrissy Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral- What are your thoughts on Metformin combined w Naltrexone topiramate and Vit B12 for Tx of PCOS? My 31 y.o. daughter has tried over the last few years to manage her PCOS w traditional Chinese herbs, acupuncture, yoga & pilates which have only given her limited success. Her HbA1c were in the pre-diabetic range. She lives in the NYC area w a demanding job. Now, working w a Functional Med provider, her tests showed high levels of cortisol throughout the day & hormonal imbalances. Weekend hikes & being near nature on occasion have helped her stress levels as shown by her Oura ring data. After about a month of the Rx regimen, she has noticed an improvement in her HbA1c and has hired a personal trainer. For true, sustainable wellness, what do you recommend? Becky: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for ALL that you do and thank you for using your story to help heal others! I am an IHP2 and need advice. I am working with a client, she is in her mid 30s and she has had horrific breath and overall dryness of her entire body since a child. Her dad and siblings have the same issues along with her oldest daughter. She has tried EVERY imaginable product to fix her breath with zero success. She has done the 21 day detox, & is finishing up the CBO Protocol with H.Pylori & will be starting the Finisher. She did a HTMA last year with someone else but nothing alarming. She is hopeless that her breath can't be fixed. What is your suggestion as to what direction we should go next? She does not drink filtered water, is on birth control & an anti depressant. THANKS!!!! Kayley: I am 24 yrs old 5'2" 123lbs. I have diagnosed Rheumatoid Arthritis that has severely impacted my life. I currently take Methotrexate, Plaquenil, Folic Acid, and Folinic Acid. I am struggling with debilitating fatigue, and my IBS has recently flared up. Is there anything you would suggest doing to improve energy levels? Amanda: Does chiropractic treatment benefit children diagnosed with ADHD?

A clinical exercise physiologist by trade, Erin Bloodworth sought a career change and became an exercise oncologist. This enabled her to take her expertise and apply it to helping cancer patients, which she does through Northwestern Medicine Living Well. Erin says whether a patient is going through cancer treatment or is post-treatment, she puts the patient through an individualized exercise program. She assesses the patient's health with tests tied to their ability to grip objects and go from a sitting position to a standing position and back. Erin says the combination of exercise with a cancer treatment can aid the patient's physical, mental and emotional health. Through Living Well's website, Erin Bloodworth can share her expertise with anyone in any location. Additional Resources: Northwestern Medicine Living Well: https://www.livingwellcrc.org

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral- everyone out here SO appreciates all you do :) You have mentioned that there is a difference between an IGG reaction to a food and a digestive issue that would cause bloating and gas etc. Could you explain how you can tell if you are having an IGG reaction? I used to think that the bloat was the reaction. The 3 foods I am moderately sensitive to based on my Food Sensitivity test have never given me OVERT symptoms , so I'm wondering how to tell if these or any food combos are giving me inflammation without telltale rash, swelling etc. Im 61 and don't have any pressing health issues so healthspan is my focus right now and I don't want to be eating anything that may be causing me hidden inflammation. Thank you again :) Kavita: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your incredible work! I have successfully reversed many of my health issues thanks to your guidance and support. I recently received my test results, and I am pleased to report that they look fantastic overall. However, my cholesterol levels are on the higher side. What recommendations do you have for addressing this? I walk frequently and work out three to four times a week, including strength training. I am currently focused on my weight, aiming to reach 170 pounds; I weigh 191 pounds at the moment. Additionally, I have been struggling with migraines for most of my life, and I recently started seeing a chiropractor in hopes that this will help alleviate my symptoms. I would greatly appreciate any advice. David: Hi Dr.Cabral, Really appreciate everything you do and I can't stress enough how much of a positive impact you have had on my life and many of those around me as a result of being the health coach in my home. I've been revisiting my personal protocol to optimize for my genes even more than I do and boy is it a confusing area. Specifically, I am trying to balance MTHFR and COMT. After speaking with a methylation focused nutritionist, she recommended that I switch my DNS to beef liver and beef organ supplements (about 4-5 caps of each) I have taken Equi Life's organ complex and generally tolerated it well, but was wondering if there is a time and place (such as having my genotype) where using a whole food based multi makes sense and is better than synthetic multi-vitamins? John: Hey dr I asked you a question on 3410 but you misread the question I wanted to know if I should stop all my supplements when I'm on the heavy metal detox not the regular detox . Just want to make sure the heavy metal doesn't cancel out everything thanks Tammy: As a healthcare worker, I am seeing an increase in patients with lymphedema, where the calf and ankle areas are very swollen and many times gets blistering sores and veins issues What are your recommendations for lymphedema and venous problems?

Interview with Lauren Buck, DPT
Maureen McBeth, Senior Medical Affairs Liaison for ImpediMed, a company that develops bio-impedance spectroscopy technology for the early detection and monitoring of lymphedema. This swelling, a common side effect of breast cancer surgery, is often overlooked until it impacts the quality of life of the patient. Using this advanced diagnostic technology, objective data on the risk and progression enables personalized intervention at the mild stage to prevent progression to severe, irreversible stages. Maureen explains, "Breast cancer-related lymphedema is an underappreciated side effect. Most people think that it's not an issue anymore because we do sentinel node biopsy. Still, we know that any time lymph nodes are removed, damaged, or radiated, they can cause problems with the plumbing system in that area of the body. And inflammation starts, and that's the first thing. People don't feel that, but over time, it starts to impact the lymphatic vessels, and those lymphatic vessels don't pump as well, and a fluid buildup starts to occur. Finally, a patient may start to have symptoms like an aching or a fullness, or they notice things don't fit right, and by the time they notice it, they're likely well into stage one lymphedema, which has noticeable symptoms." "And 20 years ago, when we didn't have these methods to detect it early, we often didn't see patients even with that at stage one. We wouldn't see them until the arm got really big and noticeable. If you can imagine, the guidelines said that the arm had to be 10% larger than the other side before we would diagnose it with lymphedema. Imagine your arm being 10% bigger on one side." "One of the important things about our technology is that it's about a 30-second test. In terms of non-invasive, the patient doesn't feel it. It gives us this L-Dex score, and we can get other things like body composition. And so, at the start of someone's treatment, it can be used not only for surveillance of lymphedema but also for other side effects of cancer treatment." #ImpediMed #EarlyDetectionMatters #LymphedemaAwarenessMonth #Survivorship #SurvivorshipCare #PatientEmpowerment impedimed.com Download the transcript here

Dr. Joseph Dayan is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon at the Institute for Lymphatic Surgery and Innovation, a division of the Institute for Advanced Reconstruction. Doctors have traditionally focused on treating cancer rather than long-term effects such as lymphedema, a swelling condition caused by dysfunction of the lymphatic system. New surgical techniques such as lymph node transplants and lymphovenous bypasses can help reconstruct the lymphatic system and reduce lymphedema symptoms. Joseph explains, "Lymphedema is swelling, usually most often in the arms or legs, that's permanent and often gets worse over time caused by dysfunction of your lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is basically the sewage system of the body. It clears out fluid waste from your body's tissues and channels that waste into your lymph nodes, which are part of your immune system that has billions of immune cells that kill bacteria and purify that waste. That fluid then goes back into your veins and back in the bloodstream. When that's not functioning, that fluid can get backed up, causing swelling in all parts of the body, but also infection, sometimes even life-threatening infections. It is currently incurable, and generally, it gets worse over time, as chronic diseases tend to do." "There are some types of chemotherapy that do cause problems with the lymphatic system, the taxane therapies like Cytoxan, but most commonly for patients undergoing removal of their lymph nodes, the removing of the lymph nodes or radiation to the lymph nodes or both are the most common cause of cancer-related lymphedemas." "I think there are two reasons. Historically, lymphedema was not something typically seen by a doctor or treated by an MD. It's a disease typically sent to a physical therapist or occupational therapist specializing in lymphedema therapy without being able to offer treatment. I think doctors focus on those things that they can help with. And so one part I think in the MD's mind is that there's not a whole lot you can do for it. The other part is at the time of the cancer diagnosis, understandably, the cancer is number one, two, and three priorities, and the consequences of cancer treatment fall a distance second." #Lymphedema #Cancer #LymphedemaAwareness #BreastReconstruction #LymphovenousBypass #LymphNodeTransplant #LymphaticSurgery #LymphedemaTreatmentAct #GLP1 advancedreconstruction.com/lymphedema Download the transcript here

She recounts her encounters with clients who express surprise at her depth of knowledge – a testament to the continuous research and learning demanded by FSM. It's more than just recognizing the existence of body tissues; it's about understanding their intricate fibrous and cartilaginous structures, how they interact with their surroundings, and how they are affected by various factors, including inflammation and wear. Real-Life Scenarios: The Case of the Ironman In the realm of high-performance sports, Kim shares a captivating narrative of an Ironman athlete who uses FSM religiously. This athlete, determined to compete in two Ironmans within three weeks, presents a unique challenge – bilateral lateral knee pain misdiagnosed as IT band syndrome. Kim walks us through her thought process, highlighting the importance of identifying the true cause of pain – the meniscus, not the IT band – and tailoring FSM treatment to facilitate recovery and healing. Addressing the Root Causes The conversation transitions into a broader discussion about understanding and treating the underlying causes of medical conditions. Whether dealing with radiation-induced lymphedema or atopic dermatitis, the emphasis remains on identifying and addressing the root cause rather than merely managing symptoms. Kim underscores the critical role of vitamins and nutrients, like Vitamin D, C, and B12, in supporting health and healing – an insightful reminder of the often-overlooked aspects of wellness. Fibromyalgia: Unpacking the Complexity With a focus on fibromyalgia, Kim and her colleagues embark on a dialogue about its potential genetic components and the diverse factors that contribute to its manifestation. The discourse navigates through various familial tendencies and potential environmental influences, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of this condition. As they explore genetic predispositions, food sensitivities, and neurotransmitter pathways, the conversation emphasizes the importance of viewing fibromyalgia through a comprehensive lens. Collaborative Healthcare: The Path Forward Kim concludes with a powerful message about the value of collaborative healthcare. She emphasizes the necessity for healthcare professionals to network and collaborate, drawing on each other's expertise to create holistic and effective care plans for patients. It's about understanding limitations, leveraging collective knowledge, and always asking the right questions to uncover the paths to healing. As we continue to explore the potential of FSM, let us be inspired by the transformative stories shared by practitioners like Kim Pittis. The journey of frequency specific microcurrent is one of continuous learning, compassion, and a commitment to improving lives, one patient at a time.
