The Mystery of Cellulite - SOLVED!
Have you wondered about cellulite?
There are three questions that have long puzzled me.
1) Why do women get cellulite and men don't?
2) Why do even skinny women have cellulite?
3) Why does cellulite manifest predominantly in the thighs and buttocks?
Then I saw an instagram post from Body Studio LLC with a picture of what looked very much like cellulite on the chin of a patient who had lipoplasty.
And the key word "fibrosis."
This word was the missing piece that helped put the other pieces into place.
We introduce for the first time a fat cell size-centric view of cellulite.
Fat cell size explains all of the hallmarks of cellulite better than any other single factor.
Of course, other factors play a role -- such as genetics, overall body health, etc.
But fat cell size seems to the proximate factor that drives cellulite.
Here are the peer-reviewed sources for all of those who love to look at the underlying findings.
The excellent histology paper that documents what's really going on in cellulite tissue.

The data on fat cell size in women vs men and in buttocks and thighs vs arms and chest were obtained from ChatGPT.
Search prompts used were "What is the diameter of dermal adipocytes in women compared to the diameter of dermal adipocytes in men?" And "What is the diameter of dermal adipocytes in the buttocks and thighs compared to the diameter of dermal adipocytes in the arms and chest?"

I had cellulite on my butt and thighs since I was a teen. I’m super active and in shape (weight training, marathons ) I’ve been 125lbs for the last 15 years and the cellulite stayed. I went carnivore ( beef, salt, water) and all my cellulite went away so quickly. It was crazy. It’s diet related

Ecperienced the same. I've been cycling between keto and carnivore and cellulite went away within the 1st month of changing diet. I did moderate exercise, but exercise and other diets never took away cellulite. And definately not so quickly! It's amazing!!

Very interesting. Since at a young age, I've been struggling with cellulite. I had my daughter very young, and since then, my skin has changed dramatically. I always thought it was a circulation problem since I started to develop spider veins. About a year ago, I learned about lipedema and started to try some exercises for that ill, including jumping on a mini trampolin. It has helped me a lot, but I still have a problem. Hopefully, you can help me with that.

Yes, that makes sense to me. The mini trampoline will help with lymph clearance but it may not be enough to reset the fat cell health. Please email help@adipeau.com if you'd like to test a cream to reduce fat cell size.
I have cellulite on my upper arms and my decollete in addition to thighs and butt. It's a good thing I don't care to wear low cut or sleeveless clothing. I pray it never affects my face. I hope you solve the cellulite problem!!
Thanks for all the research you share with us! Seeing this post reminds me that I need to order more Face Cream soon!
Well done sir!!
I was thinking about it, so thought I'd comment here. You said you're doing a 2nd part video on the lymphatic system. What about fascia release? We see a lot of videos and products aimed at fascia and how it can cause dimples in the skin. Your thoughts on that?
@aeducator1

@@c.jwingfield802 it’s all related. Constricted fascia suppresses blood flow and lymph clearance. Restricted blood flow limits fat cell regeneration, causing residual fat cells to get bigger. Excess lymph fluid is also taken up by the fat cells, thereby increasing their size. A fat cell size centric view accommodates all of the elements.

@aeducator1 oh ok! Thanks that makes a lot of sense!
This is very interesting and connected to fascia (which is mostly composed of collagen). Have you looked into block therapy which targets melting fascia (hardened dormat areas (dormant collagen) getting the dormat collegen to become active. Perhaps combining your cream with fascia work would offer a two pronged approach:)

Yes! I had cellulite on my butt and thighs since I was 14/15 years old. I cut out all processed food and just ate beef salt water after a week it was gone! I went on vacation and had some alocohl, chicken with sauce on it and it came back a bit. So it’s diet related.
Yes arms, thyroid issues(hashimotos)alone can cause inflammation, then throw some Lyme on the pile and EBV. Trying to keep the flow in everything but I will say for sure that slow thyroid, not enough t3 really wrecks your arms and skin. Antidote Dr??

While listening this explanation I was thinking about my under eye bags; I have skin laxity in that area and trying to relate with your explanation, could that be related to enlarged and inflammed fat cells in this area? Could adipeau reduce their size and help to produce new collagen again?

Yes, we've had a recent case where a person developed eye bags as a result of an allergy in her 40s. The face cream and cooljet was able to increase skin strength over a 6 month or so period.

Dairy products like cheese, milk, cream,butter, sugar cause cellulite. Food like pizza with combination of cheese and crust. Crust ruins the collagen causing skin sagging. Fat pushes out create lumps.

So, does massages help in increasing circulation in these areas, and thereby help reduce cellulite ? Also, what causes inflammation of these fat cells ? Thanks,
@aeducator1
Ай бұрын
Yes, massage increases circulation which helps fat cells regenerate as they get more growth factors from the circulation. And massage also helps clear lymph fluid which would otherwise be taken up by mature fat cells, increasing their girth. Fat cells are big communicators. They are sending out thousands of different types of molecules. When they get bigger -- even just 10% bigger -- they start sending out more inflammatory molecules. Hope that helps. Thanks for being here.
We should rename it to lipidemia then. I’m stage zero lipidemia. I also thought it’s cellulite. Lipidemia is connective tissues/lymphatic system, and collagen disorder. It’s no in the dermis and the fat only. The collagen problem effects the fascia and the blood vessels.
I’m wondering, have you considered if possibly change in hormones (estrogen) could be a factor? I feel like didn’t start getting what appears to be cellulite until after menopause.

Could it be because of hormones and women have more estrogen in their body than men is that why we get cellulite and men really don’t or they don’t at all I’m not sure. I think we’re just cursed to have cellulite. It’s not fair. 😢
