About Lipé Nutrition
Made by a lipedema doctor who has lipedema too.
Every woman deserves to feel in control of her health, especially when living with lipedema.
Lipé Nutrition was founded by Dr. Jonie Girouard, M.D., board-certified in obesity medicine and a lipedema specialist with more than 16 years of clinical experience. Every formula is one she designed for the women she sees, and takes herself.
How it started
It started on a treadmill.
In 2014, Dr. Jonie was on a treadmill reading a newsletter from the Obesity Action Coalition when she came across her first article about lipedema. It said that women with lipedema could not lose weight the way other women could.
That didn't fit what she thought she knew. She turned to her husband, Dr. Michael Girouard, and said: "But we see women with lipedema in the clinic every day, and they are losing weight. So why does this article say they can't?"
That moment reframed everything. She had never separated out the quiet, weight-loss-resistant women in her own clinic. And as she read more, she realized she had been living with undiagnosed lipedema herself, passed down through her father's side of the family.
If a doctor in this field did not know, how many millions of women have no idea what is happening to their own bodies?
What began as a small social media presence and a few public events grew into the Lipedema Clinic. Lipé Nutrition grew out of the same work: the nutritional support she wished every woman could get.
I have lipedema too. I take these myself.
Dr. Jonie Girouard, M.D.
Why Lipé exists
Diets alone were never built to reach the inflammation.
Chronic inflammation in the fat tissue and slow-moving lymph fluid are what lipedema tissue lives with. Inflammation is the one part of that picture nutrition can genuinely influence. So each Lipé formula has one job, in a form the body can use, at a dose that matters.

One formula for each job.
