“Taking a deep breath gives you back your control.”
In this conversation, Babz helps clear up a lot of the confusion regarding what is the lymphatic system?! We break down definitions of lymph, lymphedema, lipedema, vessels, nodes, and the many systems at play within the body. With both personal and professional experience in the lymphatic world, this conversation was a bright light helping to clarify the many roles and responsibilities of the lymphatic system.
