 you believe that I once suffered from pitting edema so badly that I could press into my ankle and leave a visible dent?

At the time, I wasn’t old. I wasn’t on medication. But something was deeply wrong — and I didn’t know it yet.

Let me break down exactly what’s going on in your body — and how to reverse it quickly, safely, and without risky medications or diuretics.
