The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈπŸš΄β€β™€οΈ

Some of the best changes in health don’t start with a plan. They start with one walk around the block or one ride down the street.

Consistency matters more than intensity. Whether you’re just beginning or getting back on track, movement that you can keep up is the goal.

If you’re ready to take a first step toward your health and want a physician to look at the whole picture, book a visit with us. Link in bio or call (703) 777-9355.

Your core doesn’t need more crunches. It needs a reason to stabilize.

Your core is bored. Try this progression, from floor to ball:

Level 1: Forearm plank. Start here. Keep your elbows under your shoulders, your body in a straight line from head to heels, and your abs braced. Hold until your form stays steady for the full time.

Level 2: Medicine ball plank. Place your hands on the ball and hold the same straight line. The added load makes your core work harder to keep you still.

Level 3: Stability ball plank. Rest your forearms on the ball. The instability forces your deep stabilizers to take over. Move slowly and don’t let your hips sag.

How to progress: Move to the next level only when you can hold good form for the full time. Quality beats duration. If your lower back arches or your hips drop, go back a level.

What it trains:
βœ… re**us abdominis
βœ… transverse abdominis
βœ… obliques
βœ… muscles along your spine
βœ… shoulders, glutes, and legs.

If you have shoulder, wrist, or back pain, or you’re pregnant, check with your clinician before trying Level 3.

CTA: Save this for your next workout, then tell me in the comments which level you’re starting at.

Why I started The LiLy Collaborative

When I opened my practice for obesity management, I kept seeing patients who were fully compliant with their weight loss plans, but their weight wasn’t moving. Over time I realized many of them had lipedema, a chronic condition that causes disproportionate fat, usually in the legs and sometimes in the hips and arms.

One clinic can’t do it all, so I built The LiLy Collaborative to connect patients with the specialists they need: registered dietitians, therapists, and plastic surgeons who perform lipedema procedures. You won’t have to explain your condition from scratch or go through it alone.

If you think you might have lipedema, or you’ve been told your symptoms are β€œjust weight,” let’s find out together.

Is Surgery Right for Me? An Honest Conversation on Lipedema Liposuction

In September, The Lancet published the LIPLEG trial, a randomized study of 410 women with lipedema. At 12 months, 68% of those who had liposuction reported meaningful relief from leg pain, compared with 8% of those who stayed on conservative therapy alone.

Our guest speaker, Dr. Kyle Xu, a board-certified plastic surgeon, will explain what this research means for you, who may be a good candidate, and what recovery really looks like.

If you’re living with lipedema and wondering whether surgery could help, this event is for you.

LiLy Socials are free community gatherings hosted by My Wellness Physicians for people living with Lipedema and Lymphedema. They’re a judgment-free space to connect, learn, and know you’re not alone.

Lipedema & Liposuction: Myth or Fact? We hear these questions all the time, so Dr. Cruz answers them in 20 seconds.

βœ… Liposuction can improve pain, mobility and quality of life: FACT
❌ Liposuction cures lipedema: MYTH
❌ Removed fat automatically grows back: MYTH
βœ… Adults can make new fat cells: FACT
❌ We already know everything about lipedema: MYTH
βœ… Ongoing care still matters after surgery: FACT

Surgery can change lives, but it works best as part of a long-term plan. That plan includes compression, lymphatic therapy, movement, nutrition and medical support.

If you’ve been told β€œit’s just weight” and you know it’s something more, we’re here to listen. πŸ’œ

Workouts hit different with a buddy πŸ’ͺ

Strength training with Loudoun Lymphedema Therapist | MLD, Lipedema, Post-Op DPT+CLT means accountability, better form, and a lot more laughing between sets.

Building muscle is one of the best things you can do for your metabolism, bones, and energy, especially in midlife. And it’s so much easier when you’re not doing it alone.

Accountability doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s just with someone who nags you like crazy to work out!

Doing everything right and still gaining weight? You're not imagining it, and it isn't a willpower problem. 🧩

In midlife, hormones and metabolism shift together. Falling estrogen can make your body less responsive to insulin. Higher insulin has been linked to hot flashes that start earlier and last longer. And the conversation about hormone therapy has changed, with the FDA rewriting its warning label in late 2025 for the first time in 22 years.

Dr. Minnie Cruz-Tolentino, MD, FAAFP, DABOM, will explain what's really happening and what you can do about it at Piece by Piece: A Women's Health Workshop. As a double board-certified physician in Family and Obesity Medicine who is going through perimenopause herself, she knows this from both sides of the exam table.

Exhausted, foggy, snapping at the people you love… and told it's "just stress" or "just your age"? 🧩

Burnout and perimenopause can look exactly the same on the surface. But one is a stress system running on empty, and the other is a hormonal transition. For many women in their 40s, it's both at once. When one gets treated as the other, the right care never gets its chance to work.

The numbers back it up. In Bonafide's 2026 State of Menopause Survey, 70% of women in their 40s said they feel overwhelmed by everyday life. And new research in the journal Menopause linked burnout in midlife women to less daily movement and lower physical function. Burnout isn't "all in your head."

At Piece by Piece, Farah Alnajar, LPC, CCPT, of Blooming Minds Counseling, will help you untangle what you're feeling, why it matters, and where to start.

Ever been told your legs are "just weight"? 🀍

Many women with lipedema describe legs that feel heavy, achy, and swollen in a way that ordinary weight gain doesn't explain. Research is starting to show why.

In a study from Vanderbilt University, researchers used a specialized MRI to measure sodium in the legs of women with and without lipedema. Women with lipedema had higher sodium levels in their skin and fat, even compared with women of similar body size.

What this tells us:
βœ”οΈ Lipedema tissue is different. It's not just "more fat."
βœ”οΈ Sodium buildup may be linked to the swelling and heaviness so many women feel.
βœ”οΈ It could one day lead to an objective test for diagnosis.

Lipedema is real, and you deserve a care team that takes it seriously.
