Welcome to The Cellulite Investigation!
If you found your way to The Cellulite Investigation, chances are you are searching for real answers to your questions about cellulite. There is no shortage of websites offering information about this common condition, and yet so often their answers are less than satisfying.
Many of these sites claim cellulite is fat that you can work off through exercise or by restricting your calorie intake. Other sites sell miracle anti-cellulite creams, usually accompanied by persuasive (often fictional) client testimonials. Still others blame cellulite on genetics or aging and insist it’s a condition that most of us must simply accept as a fact of life.
But if cellulite is simply fat, then why do so many thin women have cellulite while heavier women do not? Why does a woman’s cellulite often increase when she loses weight? If cellulite is genetic or an inevitable part of the aging process, why has the percentage of teenage women with cellulite so dramatically increased in the last few generations?
Ask any woman who remembers the 1940′s if cellulite was a common condition amongst her high school friends. Some of us want to believe it was, so we don’t have to worry about addressing the issue. But if we are honest with ourselves, we must admit that cellulite is increasing in our society at an alarming rate –even faster than our waistlines. I don’t believe it is a stretch to use the word “epidemic.”
If you are skeptical about these common approaches to cellulite, then you are in the right place. Welcome! I’m so glad you found us.

Why All The Confusion About A Few Dimples?
Consider the source of most of our information on cellulite. The anti-cellulite industry is by nature only interested in finding a solution to cellulite that can be bottled and sold. What if the real answer is more complicated than that?
Cellulite is largely ignored by the medical community because it is seen as cosmetic and superficial. The few doctors who do address cellulite are still bias towards solutions that can be applied, prescribed, or “administered.”
Even the media has certain biases in their segments about cellulite. Every year in April, media outlets run pieces on how to banish cellulite as swimsuit season approaches. In this fast-paced business, they favor stories that are quick and easy. The media is unlikely to use precious time or resources for a fluff piece on cellulite. They usually turn to cellulite “experts” from the massive anti-cellulite industry as authorities for their reports.
The media is also biased towards featuring cellulite products that are either common or bizarre. They write pieces for the woman who passes by the Nivea cellulite cream at Wal-Mart and wonders if it works. Or, they try to get your attention by writing about cellulite-busting marshmallows or magical anti-cellulite panties. (Who would stoop so low?!) The real answers are more likely found elsewhere.
The Cellulite Investigation to the Rescue
Following previous cellulite crises of this nature, my normal reaction was to exercise more, eat less, and invest in the latest anti-cellulite product
that guarantees results in X number of weeks or your money back. Does this sound familiar?But because I had just started graduate school, I responded to this fitting room incident with a more studious approach, albeit one I found just as instinctual. Instead of jumping into another round of the same unsuccessful treatment options, what if I put my analytic training to work and opened an investigation on cellulite?
By day, I am a professional analyst for a government agency, specializing in subject matter with a strong scientific or technical aspect. By night, I blog about my efforts to uncover the truth about cellulite. I admit, I like to think of myself as a cellulite-fighting superhero.
How You Can Participate in The Cure
After carefully researching cellulite for several weeks, the first new treatment I tried was dry skin brushing. This simple technique produced such dramatic results in my own legs that I knew there was more to cellulite than the conventional wisdom could explain.Since launching The Cellulite Investigation, nearly everything I thought I knew about health and wellness has changed. I discovered the source of my cystic acne. I no longer experience cramping and other PMS symptoms each month. I am still working at cracking the cellulite case completely, but the improvements I’ve seen so far tell me I am on the right track.
