«This book is a game-changer. It says what too many people need to hear but rarely do: Struggling with your weight is not a personal failure... If you’ve ever felt isolated in this fight, you need to read this book. You are not alone anymore.» – MEL ROBBINS, bestselling author of THE LET THEM THEORY

Your guide to optimizing results with GLP-1s, to reverse obesity and take control of your health – including advice on how to maintain weight loss once you stop the medication.

*With a foreword from New York Times bestselling author of THE NEW MENOPAUSE, Dr Mary Claire Haver*

GLP-1 medications have revolutionized how doctors treat obesity and changed the lives of those who use them. With demand for these transformative drugs soaring, people interested in trying GLP-1 therapy for weight loss face uncharted territory, and many patients leave their doctor’s office with a prescription but without the essential guidance needed to achieve the best results – or maintain them.

In Weightless, Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, an obesity medicine specialist, shares this vital information and proven strategies that have helped her patients reach their health goals. She helps you understand that taking your medication is only one part of the journey. In fact, these drugs work best when combined with proper monitoring and lifestyle changes.

Drawing from her clinical experience and patient stories, she explains how to:

• Ask the right questions during your first appointment and choose the best GLP-1 medication for you
• Understand how it will affect your experience with food and hunger
• Implement the two other key 'prescriptions' – eating more protein and engaging in strength training – to maximize your treatment and prevent muscle loss
• Navigate the effects of GLP-1 therapy on your relationships with others and yourself
• How to maintain your weight loss after stopping GLP-1 treatments

Comprehensive and evidence-based, Weightless will provide you with the science, clarity, and confidence to take the first step toward a healthier, more empowered you.
