• The Weightless Method: GLP-1s, Muscle & Metabolic Health with Dr. Rocío Salas-Whalen | HFYH #138

  In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with triple board-certified obesity medicine specialist Dr. Rocío Salas-Whalen, author of Weightless, to unpack the emotional and metabolic weight so many women carry for decades. Dr. Rocío shares what she sees every day in her Manhattan practice—patients arriving exhausted, ashamed, and feeling like this is their "last stop"—and explains why weight is never just a number on the scale, but a story of muscle, visceral fat, metabolic health, and self-worth. Together, they dive into Dr. Dr. Rocío's powerful GPS method—GLP-1s, Protein, and Strength training—to protect muscle, recompose the body, quiet "food noise," and finally break free from shame-driven dieting. This conversation is a blend of science, strategy, and deep compassion, offering real hope that it's never too late to build strength, reclaim your health, and feel truly weightless—inside and out. ••• Connect with Dr. Rocío: Preorder "Weightless" Book: https://weightlessthebook.com/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnu-g-zjUsbanm0Eb0P0lnGqqCxvj4Rn4HgFYyTO4gZYeRWQlam3beXQiEeFk_aem_AXnyDrfHnig8_jjIsCKmmw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsalaswhalen/?hl=en ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com Dr Vonda's Unbreakable Bone Health provides bone density and quality support by using ingredients that have over 30 years of clinical research, patented and are directly linked to increasing bone strength, bone density, and improving the health and integrity of the bone.

• The Bone Health Crisis No One Talks About with Sanjeev Javia | HFYH #137

  In this episode of Hot For Your Health with Dr. Vonda Wright is joined by longtime friend, master formulator, and wellness innovator Sanjeev "Jeevers" Javia to break down one of the most overlooked—but most life-saving—topics in women's health: bone health. Using real data and decades of clinical experience, Dr. Wright reveals why fractures are a preventable epidemic, why osteoporosis is a "disease of youth" that shows up in midlife, and how women lose up to 20% of their bone density during perimenopause.    Sanjeev shares how bone operates as a dynamic organ—regulating hormones, glucose metabolism, cognition, and even satiety—and why modern diets and lifestyles leave most women nutrient-deficient long before symptoms appear. Together, they unpack the science behind the new Unbreakable Bone formulation—built on three pillars: collagen, hydroxyapatite, and micronutrient-rich red algae—and how it fits into Dr. Wright's 8 Shields for lifelong bone strength.   ••• Connect with Sanjeev Javia: Website: https://www.proze.com/proze-philosophy/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/askjeevers/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjeev-javia-07971615 ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com ••• If you enjoyed this episode, Subscribe to "HOT For Your Health" for more inspiring episodes.

• Midlife High Performance: Health, Strength & Self-Worth with Lauren Ramsey | HFYH #136

  In this episode of Hot For Your Health, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with Lauren Ramsey — former Microsoft leader, tech executive, CEO, athlete, wellness strategist, and now part of the VMD Global Media team — to talk about what it really takes to build a strong, healthy, high-capacity life in midlife and beyond. Lauren shares how she went from 16-year-old college student to two decades in Big Tech to founding and running companies, all while raising a family, training for Ironman, and coaching women in health. Together, they dig into why so many women still struggle to take action on their health (even when they "know what to do"), how to bridge the gap between intention and behavior, and why the single biggest unlock is believing you are worth daily investment. They talk honest midlife realities — perimenopause brain fog, stress, self-sabotage, diet culture, longevity hype — and map out what actually works: fueling your body like it matters, building simple repeatable habits, lifting heavy, sleeping deeply, and choosing a future you're proud of. ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com ••• If you enjoyed this episode, Subscribe to "HOT For Your Health" for more inspiring episodes.

• Menopause Care Revolution: The Alloy Health Story | HFYH #135

  In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with Anne Fulenwider and Monica Molenaar of Alloy Health, co-founders and co-CEOs of Alloy Health, to explore how their personal menopause journeys led them to build a women's health company that bridges the gap between medical care and accessible, ongoing support. Anne shares how having her ovaries removed at 40—and then navigating a confusing system with limited guidance—sparked the mission behind Alloy, while Monica reveals how everyday symptoms like incontinence drove innovation in skincare and hormone solutions. Together, they dive into Alloy's "care, not just content" model: connecting women directly with physicians via messaging, offering transparent pricing, and delivering prescription therapies, skincare, and metabolic care in one streamlined platform. The conversation tackles systemic barriers in women's health, the role of estrogen in skin and bladder health, and how Alloy is expanding into weight management during menopause. This episode is for anyone seeking clarity, community, and care in the era of midlife transformation. ••• Connect with Alloy Health: Website: https://www.myalloy.com/ ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com ••• If you enjoyed this episode, Subscribe to "HOT For Your Health" for more inspiring episodes.

  In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright reconnects with Dr. Manasa Mantravadi—a board-certified pediatrician, Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist, and founder of Ahimsa, the stainless steel dinnerware line engineered to reduce children's exposure to plastic and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Dr. Mantravadi unpacks her medical journey and how she translated concern over additives in everyday foodware into a mission-driven company designed for health, aesthetics, and safety. Together, they explore the science behind microplastics and hormone-mimicking additives that silently infiltrate our food, disrupt insulin, fat cell signaling, and child neurodevelopment, and contribute to rising metabolic and cancer risks. Dr. Mantravadi shares concrete strategies for parents, caregivers, and institutions—kitchen swaps, school lunch reform, policy advocacy—that can shift the balance from exposure to protection. You'll finish this episode empowered with small but cumulative changes to defend children's health, one mealtime at a time. ••• Connect with Dr. Mantravadi: Website: https://manasamantravadimd.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-manasa-mantravadi-593b901b6/ ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com ••• If you enjoyed this episode, Subscribe to "HOT For Your Health" for more inspiring episodes.
