Struggling with judgment about your body size? In this episode of The Jeanette Jenkins Show, Jeanette sits down with her sister Camille to break down the truth about body positivity, size discrimination, and why you can never know someone’s health by looking at them. Camille shares her journey through years of unexplained weight gain, finally discovering she had leptin resistance, a hormone-related condition that affects metabolism and fat loss.

Learn how hormones, inflammation, genetics, fibroids, and stress impact weight; why “calories in, calories out” doesn’t apply to everyone; and how to advocate for yourself when doctors overlook real health conditions. Jeanette & Camille share practical tools for improving self-image, reducing negative self-talk, dressing for confidence, and moving your body for joy & longevity.

Get empowered to embrace your unique body, understand what’s really driving weight changes, and build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Jeanette sits down with her sister Camille to unpack the truth about body positivity, size discrimination, hormonal challenges, and the reality of living with leptin resistance, a condition few people understand, including many medical professionals.

In this episode of The Jeanette Jenkins Show, we break down the science behind body composition, explain why BMI is useless because it does not take into account your body composition (fat, visceral fat, muscle, water, bones, internal organs) and show you how to measure your complete body composition. Learn how to measure your progress with smart scales, DEXA scans, girth measurements, health tests, fitness tests and discover why understanding your full body composition is more important than just a single number on the scale.

Introducing…The Jeanette Jenkins show! In her first episode, she sits down with board-certified endocrinologist Dr. Rocio Salas Whalen, author of "Weightless," for an eye-opening conversation about weight loss, hormones, and the truth behind GLP-1 medications.

Are you struggling to lose weight despite healthy habits? Have you been told it’s just “calories in, calories out”? This episode dives deep into the science of obesity, the impact of genetics, hormones like insulin and cortisol, and why traditional advice doesn’t work for everyone.

Dr. Salas Whalen shares her expertise on:

• The real causes of weight gain and resistance to weight loss
• The role of GLP-1 medications and how they work
• Why muscle mass and body composition matter more than BMI
• The emotional journey of becoming “weightless” - letting go of shame, guilt, and trauma
• How to find the right medical support and advocate for your health

Whether you’re a fitness professional, someone on a weight loss journey, or supporting a loved one, this episode is packed with science, compassion, and practical advice.
