Understanding Midlife Weight Gain, Obesity and Buzzy Weight Loss Drugs with Endocrinologist Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen
Manage episode 438925529 series 3314226
Today, we do a deep dive into midlife weight gain and the impact of fluctuating hormones on body composition and health with triple board-certified physician and obesity expert Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen. Dr. Salas-Whalen walks us through the “perfect storm” that links roller coaster midlife hormones to weight gain, gives us a primer on popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, and catches us up on the latest thinking on obesity and new tools to measure healthy body composition (forget the BMI, think body composition scans). Plus, why it’s time to stop worrying about pounds on a scale and instead focus on muscle building and visceral fat reduction for optimal health, mobility, and longevity.
