Nobody has cracked lipedema yet. Let's figure it out together .

We're building the first real-world knowledge base of what actually helps — one daily check-in at a time. The more of us who log, the better we all get at figuring this thing out.

There is so much we don't know about lipedema. Online you'll see hundreds of supplements, drugs, and treatments that claim to alleviate symptoms, but so little science has been done on what actually works.

Lipedema Insights lets you track what actually helps (and what is a waste of time and money.) All in a minute or two a day. See real patterns for yourself while contributing to the community.

What You Can Track

Learn your body.

Track what matters to you. Contribute to communal knowledge.

Pain & Tenderness

Track tissue tenderness, pain levels, and how they shift day to day. No more guessing when your doctor asks "how's the pain been?"

Swelling & Fluid Load

Monitor heaviness and swelling with body measurements. Watch how your limbs respond to treatments, seasons, and life.

Energy & Fatigue

Lipedema fatigue is real and relentless. Track your energy so you can spot what drains you and what actually helps you bounce back.

Treatments & Therapies

From GLPs to supplements, MLD to compression garments, pneumatic devices to vibration plates - log it all with a tap.

Diet & Lifestyle

Anti-inflammatory diet? No dairy? Keto? Track what you eat and how you live so you can see what actually moves the needle.

Your Custom Items

Your journey is unique. Add whatever you want to track - because the person who knows your body best is you.

How It Works

Dead-simple daily logging.

No 20-minute questionnaires. No medical jargon. Just you and your data.

Daily check-in screen showing treatments, activities, and diet tracking with simple toggle buttons

Check in daily

Tap your treatments, activities, and diet choices. Log your pain, heaviness, energy, and mood on simple 1-10 scales. Add body measurements if you want (even by just voice!) Done in a couple minutes.

History screen showing past daily check-ins with measurements and treatments logged

Build your story.

Every check-in becomes a data point in your lipedema journey. Review your history, spot what changed, and see the full picture of what your body has been telling you.

Trends screen showing measurement and weight graphs over time with calves and ankles tracking

See the patterns.

Watch your trends over weeks and months. See how your measurements, weight, and wellbeing respond to different treatments. Let AI help you find the signal in the noise. Walk into your next appointment with hard data, not just a feeling.

The more we log, the more we know.

AI spots the correlations hiding in your data — and in everyone else's. Which treatments move the needle? Which ones are expensive placebos? We're building answers in real time, together.

Why Lipedema Insights

Together we can learn what works.

This started in our living room

My wife Leah has lipedema. After years of conflicting advice, dead-end treatments, and doctors who'd never heard of it, I built her a way to track what actually worked for her body. Then we realized: imagine if thousands of us were doing this together. That's Lipedema Insights. Not just a tech company. A husband and wife on a mission to turn lived experience into real answers.

Privacy built in from day one

We get it - this is sensitive stuff. That's why we built in privacy from day one. We never sell your personal information. Period.

Tech nerd? Here's some details. We use RLS (row-level security) database policies to ensure your data is only accessible to you. We encrypt data in transit and at rest. When we pull population-level insights, we anonymize your data first. No identifying information is ever used in our AI models.

Your log entry is a tiny research study.

Every time you check in, you're adding to something bigger — the largest real-world dataset on what actually works for lipedema. Not a clinical trial with 40 people. Thousands of women, tracking thousands of treatments, in real life. AI helps us find the patterns none of us could see alone.

Using AI for what it does best.

Not another chatbot. AI excels at pattern recognition. Our AI crunches your actual data to find correlations you might miss - like which treatments actually reduce your swelling and pain and which ones are a waste of time and money. Once we have enough data to glean communal insights, we'll start publishing those for everyone to learn from.

Our Story

This one's personal.

Hi, I'm Leah. For years, I knew something was wrong with my body. And for years, I was told there wasn't. I sat in doctor's offices getting weighed, measured, and brushed off. I was told to eat less. Move more. Try harder. I was misdiagnosed, dismissed, and eventually I stopped bringing it up at all, because the appointments themselves started to hurt more than help.

Then, only recently, I finally got a name for it: lipedema. Relief and grief, all at once. Relief that I wasn't imagining it. Grief that I'd spent so much of my life being told I was.

But a diagnosis isn't a plan. I went online looking for answers and found a firehose — supplements, diets, surgeries, devices, protocols, influencers, miracle cures. Everyone selling certainty. Almost no one with real evidence. I tried things. Some helped a little. Some didn't help at all. Some cost a fortune. And I had no good way to tell which was which.

The other reason this matters so much to us: we have daughters. Lipedema runs in families, and there's a real chance one of them will walk this road too. I don't want her sitting in a waiting room in twenty years getting the same shrugs I did. I want her to inherit answers — not just my diagnosis.

So my husband and I started building the tool I wished I'd had from day one. A place to log what I try, see what actually moves the needle for my body, and — together with thousands of other women doing the same — finally turn all of our lived experience into something that looks a lot like knowledge.
