Dr. Jaime Schwartz, Founder of Total Lipedema Care and his patient, Nancy Guillen, joined KCAL News to spread awareness around Lipedema and its effects on women. Highlighting the fact that 1 in 9 women will be diagnosed with Lipedema, underscoring the lack of awareness surrounding this condition. Dr. Schwartz emphasizes the historical misdiagnosis of Lipedema as obesity, clarifying that it cannot be cured through diet and exercise. Nancy shared her personal journey and expressed the frustration and emotional toll of feeling unheard until obtaining a diagnosis from Dr. Schwartz. Following surgery, Nancy experienced a significant improvement in her mobility and overall well-being, describing the procedure as "life-changing." Nancy's willingness to share her story provides solace to other women on a similar journey, assuring them that they are not alone. Dr. Schwartz and Nancy both aim to raise more awareness around Lipedema and its daily impact on women. Total Lipedema Care conducts research with patients to assess the outcomes of surgeries and their life-improving effects. This effort contributes to educating both the medical community and insurance companies about the condition. Through these initiatives, the hope is to shift the focus from Lipedema being an overlooked issue to it being recognized and addressed as a significant medical concern.

Meet Leah Bachar, founder and CEO of The Story of My Life, a revolutionary project in the field of post-trauma therapy. After a successful POC, Leah is in the final stages of discussions for a collaboration with a senior security entity and a leading medical institution. Leah's project focuses on the rehabilitation of post-trauma victims through the construction of a personalized program that reflects the patient's past and present, is trackable, and examines the effectiveness of the rehabilitation. This program allows therapists to receive vital information before the first meeting, leading to time savings and improved treatment. In an era where the world of therapy is in crisis, The Story of My Life offers an innovative solution: providing immediate responses to patients and full visibility to therapists about their patients' condition, a move that changes the face of post-trauma treatment. It's a true pride to accompany such a project and many other technological initiatives that are shaping a better future🙏

**A New Chapter in Life: 3 Years Post Double Lung Transplant** Today, I was deeply moved as I met a patient who’s not just surviving but thriving, three years after his double lung transplant. His latest PFTs are perfect, and he’s living life to the fullest. But what truly touched me was the book he handed me—a book he wrote himself. It’s a powerful reminder that a lung transplant doesn’t just give breath; it gives life, hope, and the chance to write new chapters. This is why I do what I do. Here’s to more lives transformed! #Transplantinglungs #Transforminglives Yashoda Hospitals Ujjal Saikia
