"Catherine knew something was wrong when she had inexplicable weight gain despite her healthy diet and rigorous exercise regime. After years of being misdiagnosed, multiple surgical procedures, and finally suffering incapacitating pain that threatened her mobility and could not be explained by her surgeon, she found her diagnosis. She has a disease that millions of women have, but don't know about. This disease, a fat disorder, is called lipedema. Unwilling to give up, Catherine fought to find answers. She traveled the world interviewing lipedema patients and top healthcare professionals who are pioneering lipedema treatment and research. This film captures their collective voice sending a resounding message: 'Together we can diagnose, treat, and support the millions of women who struggle with lipedema.' Do you or a loved one have lipedema? Learn the facts. There is hope. Treatment and support are now available." -- Container.
