  • 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.

From brain fog to mood shifts, from intimacy to the hidden toll on relationships, this episode explores how awareness and support can transform a difficult season into an opportunity for growth and connection.

    Not Feeling Like Myself
    Jul 29 2025
    Time to get into the data! You hear that right, today Dr. Jila explores a recent study published by the Menopause Society Journal that finally puts data behind a phrase she hears every day in her practice, "I just do not feel like myself." The study surveyed over 1,600 women between the ages of 35 and 55 and uncovered just how common it is to experience deep fatigue, mood swings, anxiety, low motivation, brain fog, and a loss of identity during perimenopause. Dr. Jila breaks down why these symptoms are real, what is happening beneath the surface, and how we as women can stop brushing it off as just stress. If you have been feeling tired, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply unlike yourself, this episode is for you. You are not imagining it. You are not alone. And there is help.
