The Weightless Method: GLP-1s, Muscle & Metabolic Health with Dr. Rocío Salas-Whalen | HFYH #138

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with triple board-certified obesity medicine specialist Dr. Rocío Salas-Whalen, author of Weightless, to unpack the emotional and metabolic weight so many women carry for decades. Dr. Rocío shares what she sees every day in her Manhattan practice—patients arriving exhausted, ashamed, and feeling like this is their "last stop"—and explains why weight is never just a number on the scale, but a story of muscle, visceral fat, metabolic health, and self-worth. Together, they dive into Dr. Dr. Rocío's powerful GPS method—GLP-1s, Protein, and Strength training—to protect muscle, recompose the body, quiet "food noise," and finally break free from shame-driven dieting. This conversation is a blend of science, strategy, and deep compassion, offering real hope that it's never too late to build strength, reclaim your health, and feel truly weightless—inside and out. ••• Connect with Dr. Rocío: Preorder "Weightless" Book: https://weightlessthebook.com/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnu-g-zjUsbanm0Eb0P0lnGqqCxvj4Rn4HgFYyTO4gZYeRWQlam3beXQiEeFk_aem_AXnyDrfHnig8_jjIsCKmmw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsalaswhalen/?hl=en ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com
