We’re going back to basics with triple board-certified Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen.
She specializes in endocrinology, obesity medicine, and internal medicine and has her very own practice in the heart of Manhattan.
In this episode we talk about her journey to becoming the doctor she is today. We review conditions like thyroid disease and diabetes, things that endocrinologists and optometrists co-manage. And we also discuss her speciality, obesity medicine.
Did you know that the American Medical Association only recognized obesity as a disease in 2013? And that some insurances still don’t recognize it? And that there are FDA-approved medications indicated for obesity? Dr. Salas-Whalen’s passion and knowledge is unmistakable in this episode as she schools us in this disease that we thought we knew about.
