Exercise as an Ally: Movement Without Inflammation

Lipedema Talks · Episódios

In this episode of Lipedema Talks, recorded during the Lipedema Evolution 2026 congress, Letícia Miyamoto talks with exercise physiologist Rodolfo Vieira about exercise as an ally for those living with lipedema. Rodolfo takes apart the 'no pain, no gain' myth, shows why training in a disorganized way increases inflammation and worsens pain, and teaches how to dose intensity and volume across the week. He talks about strengthening the quadriceps to relieve knee pain, low-impact activities such as walking in the pool and table tennis, and the importance of finding an enjoyable form of exercise in order to stay consistent. He also addresses caution with CrossFit, the six pillars of longevity, and his critical view of using weight-loss pens without supervision. Watch to the end and discover how to turn movement into treatment.
