NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A board-certified physician shares her must-have guide to using GLP-1 medications, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound, to reverse obesity and take charge of your health, with established strategies for maximizing your results

“This book is a game-changer. Dr. Salas-Whalen gives you the science and the compassion this conversation has been missing. You are not alone anymore.”—Mel Robbins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Let Them Theory

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 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, an expert in obesity medicine, 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. Drawing on years of clinical expertise and the lived experience of her patients, she explains how to:

• Rethink what you know about weight management: Learn why “eat less, move more” is an outdated and ineffective prescription.
• Give your GLP-1 journey a strong start: Choose an experienced provider, ask the right questions at every appointment, and get better outcomes if you’re using telehealth.
• Preserve muscle for long-term success: Follow Dr. Salas-Whalen’s advice for increasing protein intake and optimizing your strength training.
• Protect your progress: Manage side effects with evidence-based care, recognize when you need a dosage change, and know what to do when GLP-1s don’t work.
• Adjust to life after GLP-1s: Navigate the unexpected physical, social, and psychological changes that accompany significant weight loss.

Comprehensive and empowering, Weightless offers judgment-free support that ensures you never feel alone on this journey.

* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF with charts, diagrams, checklists, and other resources from the book.

Missing PDF

The book is great but they keep referencing a PDF that comes with the AudioBook. I have not been able to contact Audibles to get the PDF. I contacted the author but they said I need to speak to Amazon, which is impossible!

Fabulous Helpful Information!

It is very obvious that the author of this book cares DEEPLY about those of us who are dealing with issues stemming from our weight and the sigma that comes along with being overweight for so long. There are details in this book which are so practical and needed in order to actually understand and implement the necessary changes to facilitate the changes that I personally needed to make and also help me to stick to it, even when it's hard! I bought the audible version but before I was even finished with it I purchased the hardcover book so that I can mark it up and highlight pages and return to certain chapters and pages. Thank You Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen and your whole team for giving us this extremely helpful book!

Understanding GLP-1 Meds Better

This is such an informative book. I have not had a diagnosis of obesity but I am over weight and Dr. Salas-Whalen gives us a clear and thorough explanation of GLP-1 medications and what they can do for all of us. Read this and share it. Don’t listen to the naysayers, listen to Dr. Salas-Whalen. Share her book with your provider. Whether you go to your primary, find a specialist or go the tele-health path she has suggestions for everyone. I will listen to her book again. Thank you Dr. Salas-Whalen.

I listened to the book through Audible. I was about 5 weeks into my GLP1journey. So informative and I learned so much. Recommend for anyone on or starting a GLP1. Excellent!
