Getting Diagnosed — Why It's So Hard and How to Make It Happen

Dr Jonie Girouard

The average lipedema diagnosis takes over 10 years. In this webinar, Dr Jonie Girouard walks through exactly why getting diagnosed is so difficult — from fat bias in medicine to outdated BMI-based thinking — and gives you a practical roadmap for getting the diagnosis you deserve. She covers diagnostic criteria, ICD-10 codes your doctor needs, and what to do if your GP has never heard of lipedema.
