When Anna-Theresa Bauer, MD, was only fifteen years old, pads of fat appeared for no reason in her thighs and hips. And this wasn't just weight gain from puberty. No matter what she ate, how little she ate, or how much she exercised, the fat just kept on growing. As an adult, Dr. Bauer set herself the task of finally figuring out why she couldn't stop the fat. What she discovered would set her free-and now she wants to share that freedom with you. It was never her fault. She had a disease called lipedema, and like millions of other women worldwide, she had no idea such a condition even existed. If you're a woman who just can't stop gaining weight in your lower body, no matter what you do, you may in fact have lipedema. And with Dr. Bauer's help, you can overcome the disease you never knew you had. You don't have to feel like you're trapped in your own body any longer. Dr. Bauer's discovery allowed her to finally bloom, to become the beautiful swan she always knew she was. Are you ready to join her?
