Season 1 Episode 375
What if everything you thought GLP-1s were for—was just the beginning? I sit down with Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, a board-certified endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist with over 15 years of experience prescribing GLP-1s, to explore what these medications are really doing in the body.
Whether you’re already taking Ozempic or Wegovy, considering starting, or just curious, this conversation will change how you think about metabolism, hormones, and health. Dr. Salas-Whalen explains how GLP-1s go far beyond appetite suppression and weight loss—they can impact fertility, inflammation, autoimmune conditions, and even how your brain responds to addictive cravings and stress.
You’ll also hear how body composition, not BMI, is the future of metabolic health, and what to ask your doctor before starting GLP-1s.
👇 Reflect or share: What’s something you thought GLP-1s were only for… that surprised you in this episode?
🎧 What you’ll learn:
Dr. Salas-Whalen also shares powerful real-life examples from her practice—like the parent whose child's treatment could break generational cycles of obesity. You’ll walk away with a science-backed, compassionate understanding of GLP-1s that goes way beyond headlines.
✨ Homework: If you're considering GLP-1s, ask yourself: what could change in your life if food noise, weight shame, or inflammation were no longer in the way?
If you’ve been waiting to feel more like yourself again—this might be your sign to explore a new path to metabolic health.
