  • From Postpartum to Perimenopause: The Hormonal Thread That Connects Motherhood and Midlife

    From Postpartum to Perimenopause: The Hormonal Thread That Connects Motherhood and Midlife
    Oct 28 2025
    Postpartum and perimenopause may feel decades apart, but they speak the same hormonal language. In this solo deep dive, Dr Jila explains why so many women experience the same brain fog, anxiety, sleep changes, mood swings, and identity shifts after giving birth and again in midlife. She breaks down the hormonal physiology behind both seasons, why the medical system still treats them as unrelated, and how that gap leaves women unsupported and dismissed. Dr Jila also shares the lifestyle, nutrition, and medical tools that build a longevity foundation between these two life chapters, and reframes this season as a time of reinvention rather than decline.

  • The Hormonal Hijack: Why You’re Gaining Weight in Perimenopause and Menopause

    The Hormonal Hijack: Why You’re Gaining Weight in Perimenopause and Menopause
    Sep 16 2025
    Why does it feel like your body is changing overnight in perimenopause? In this episode Dr. Jila breaks down the science behind weight gain during menopause from the hormonal shifts that change fat distribution to the difference between visceral and subcutaneous fat. She explains why the scale and BMI don’t always tell the full story, what “skinny fat” really means, and how muscle mass, sleep, stress, and nutrition all play a role in metabolism. Dr. Jila also explores treatments that work (and those that don’t), the role of medications like GLP-1s, and practical steps women can take to support their health through this transition. It’s an honest, empowering conversation that helps reframe midlife not as the beginning of the end, but as a hormonal reboot with the right tools and knowledge.

  • From OCPs to HRT: Making Sense of Hormones Across Life Stages

    From OCPs to HRT: Making Sense of Hormones Across Life Stages
    Sep 9 2025
    In today’s episode Dr. Jila dives into one of the most common questions she hears: what’s the difference between oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? She breaks down how these two treatments use hormones for very different purposes, depending on age and stage of life. From managing painful periods, endometriosis, and contraception in younger women, to relieving hot flashes, sleep issues, mood changes, and long-term health risks in midlife and beyond, Dr. Jila explains the science, the options, and the decision-making process. Along the way, you’ll learn how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone actually work in the body, why bioidentical hormones matter, and what routes of treatment are available from pills to patches to creams. The takeaway? OCPs and HRT aren’t one-size-fits-all, but tools to be used thoughtfully with your provider to support health, quality of life, and longevity. If you’ve ever wondered whether OCPs or HRT are right for you, or just want to understand the differences, this conversation is packed with clarity, compassion, and real-world guidance.
