In this moving interview, Deanna sits down with Block Therapy instructor Kelly Maynard to hear her remarkable story of healing from a storm of chronic conditions, including lipedema, lymphedema, Hashimoto's disease, and hypermobility. After years of being largely bedridden and told her conditions would only worsen, Kelly reached her turning point when her toddler daughter leaned against her arm and recoiled in pain. That moment of heartbreak became the catalyst that led Kelly to Block Therapy, and she hasn't looked back since. Two and a half years into her Block Therapy journey, with the most dramatic changes happening in just the last 90 days, Kelly's before-and-after photos tell a stunning story. Deanna walks through the visible shifts in Kelly's body, highlighting the release of dense, concrete-like lymphatic buildup along her shins and ankles, improved lymphatic flow and drainage through the neck, and a full-body softening and lifting of the fascia. With roughly two hours of daily practice (much of it passive), Kelly reports a 95% reduction in pain and the ability to fully show up for her family again. Her message to others navigating lipedema and lymphedema: there is hope, and healing is possible. --- 👇 FREE Beginner’s Guide + At-Home Exercises Learn how your feet may influence posture, movement, fascia tension, and whole-body alignment.

The topics of disordered eating and body dysmorphia are not discussed enough within the lipedema community. Kelly, who has lipedema, has dealt with both of these challenges herself despite her background in counseling psychology. Because we do not fit the stereotypical body type of eating disorders and our eating is not often assessed, many of us go years starving our bodies and being more and more out of touch with the amazing bodies we're living in. Morgan joins Kelly to discuss the reality of living with a body-changing condition like lipedema, why eating disorders and body dysmorphia are so prevalent, and to give insight and hope.
