Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen MD:  Endocrinology and Women’s Mental Health

The Vault with Dr. Judith logo

Did you know that many healthcare providers only get one class in menopause. So a lot of times they don’t know the signs of someone going through perimenopause or menopause. Dr. Salas-Whalen is a triple board-certified physician with broad experience across all facets of endocrinology, and her emphasis is  on women’s health and obesity. She explained why you can’t use a test to diagnosis menopause or perimenopause and we discussed how women in their 30s and 40s can tell if they are going through perimenopause. On this episode of the vault Dr. Salas-Whalen discusses the the 5-10 year period before menopause. She believes that every patient is different and that effective care must be customized according to individual needs. She talks about the importance of paying attention to belly fat and changes that we should make in our diet and exercise routines as we get older.  This episode of the Vault is one that every woman should listen to and share with their friends.
