Changing the Narrative Around Midlife Weight Gain

Join us for an intimate, thought-provoking fireside chat with Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, board-certified endocrinologist, obesity medicine specialist, and author of Weightless, hosted by Dr. Suzanne Gilberg, Chief Clinical Officer of Monarch and board-certified OB/GYN.
Together, they’ll explore why midlife weight gain has been so misunderstood—and so often oversimplified—by both culture and medicine. From hormonal shifts and menopause to metabolism, bias, and the growing visibility of GLP-1 therapies in clinical care, this conversation reframes weight through a lens of science, compassion, and individualized medicine. Whether you’re a clinician, a patient, or simply questioning the narratives you’ve been told about bodies in midlife, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

For in-person attendees, the cost includes a book.
