To scale 16+ years of obesity medicine expertise beyond the walls of my clinic — and put a GLP-1 expert by the side of every doctor and every patient.” - Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen https://www.nyendocrinology.com/book daily 0.75 2026-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a70a71612abd99be038b9b4/295f3894-97ec-4834-84f9-3e1258283a69/Screen%2BShot%2B2025-06-19%2Bat%2B2.55.18%2BPM.webp Weightless Book - A Doctor's Guide to GLP-1 Medication, Sustainable Weight Loss, and the Health You Deserve Weight loss doesn’t need to feel like a full-time job. Whether your struggle to lose weight has lasted years or started more recently, GLP-1 medications will help you finally end it. While GLP-1s such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound have redefined how we treat obesity, the search for expert care is likely to leave you feeling confused, overwhelmed, and unheard. Misconceptions are everywhere. Many doctors are still catching up with the science. And you may find a prescription but not the medical supervision you need for the best results. In Weightless, Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, Board-certified in Obesity Medicine; fellowship-trained in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, delivers the real-world strategies that have helped thousands of patients achieve health goals that once felt out of reach. Her deeply compassionate approach sees obesity not as a personal failure but as a chronic health condition that deserves medical treatment. NOW A NATIONAL BESTSELLER!!
