Skin elasticity and Lipoedema - What happen to Elastin and what you can do to start improving it.

The connective tissue environment is primarily influenced by two key proteins: elastin and collagen.

These factors can significantly worsen symptoms over time. In today’s episode, we’re diving into the fascinating world of elastin and collagen: how they function within healthy connective tissue, what goes wrong in lipoedema, and practical ways to naturally support and rebuild these vital proteins.
