Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen is a triple board-certified physician with extensive expertise in all aspects of endocrinology, focusing on women's health and obesity.

Dr. Salas-Whalen believes that effective care should be tailored to the specific needs of each individual, as every patient is unique. In our discussion today, we explore the obesity epidemic, challenging the notion that obesity is simply a lifestyle-driven disease. We examine various factors contributing to obesity, clarifying why BMI is ineffective for assessing body composition and discussing the implications of sarcopenic obesity and visceral fat. Dr. Salas-Whalen offers valuable insights into the specific issues faced by perimenopausal and menopausal women, including the role of hormone replacement therapy and the increasing use of medications like GLP-1s. She emphasizes the complexity of weight loss, advocating for responsible prescribing and recognizing that obesity is controllable yet not curable.
