Energy and Metabolism: What Happens Inside the Body

Lipedema Talks · Episódios

In this episode of Lipedema Talks, recorded at the Lipedema Evolution 2026 congress, Letícia Miyamoto welcomes Dr. Juliano Nadai, a sports and metabolic medicine physician, to talk about energy, metabolism, and lipedema. He explains the difference between exercise and physical activity, why patients drop out of training in the first 30 days, and how the 'survival gene' is switched on by movement. With memorable analogies, he covers metabolomics, bioimpedance, genetic individualization of the diet, glycogen replenishment after training, and the mindful use of resources to fight sarcopenia. He also addresses the importance of heart rate and of a multidisciplinary approach. Watch to the end to understand what really happens inside the body of someone with lipedema.
