Lab Tests and Meta-inflammation: The Science Behind Lipedema

Lipedema Talks · Episódios

In this episode of Lipedema Talks, recorded at the Lipedema Evolution 2026 congress, Letícia Miyamoto welcomes Dr. Paulo Grimaldi, a pathologist, to talk about the importance of medical testing and what tests reveal about our health. With striking stories from his training, he explains how pathology works as the ID card of cancer and why the pathologist became a leading figure in precision medicine. The conversation digs into the concept of meta-inflammation, the chronic and barely visible inflammation of adipose tissue that flows into lipedema, and presents tests capable of detecting that inflammatory state, such as food intolerance testing, the nutrigenetic index, microbiome analysis, and DNA sequencing. Watch to understand how laboratory science sheds light on the diagnosis of lipedema.
