Her Time, Her Health with Dr. Jila

Before we wrap up the year, Dr. Jila is taking listeners through one of the most important foundations for women's long-term health and vitality, nutrition. In this solo conversation, she explains how hormonal changes in your 30s, 40s and 50s reshape everything from metabolism and muscle mass to gut health, inflammation, and brain function, and why most standard nutrition advice was never designed with women in mind.  She breaks down the essential nutrition pillars that support healthy aging, including why protein is one of the most underrated longevity nutrients, how anti-inflammatory fats protect the brain and heart, why fiber and plant diversity are crucial for gut resilience and glucose control, and how balanced meals steady hormones, mood, and energy through midlife.  Dr Jila also clears up common myths like eating less to weigh less, carbs being the enemy, and protein making you bulky. She explains why muscle is an organ of longevity and how nutrition and strength training work together to protect your future health. The episode finishes with an evidence-based supplement guide covering creatine, omega 3s, vitamin D3, K2, magnesium, and the role of pre and probiotics.  This episode is a reminder that it is never too late to shift the trajectory of your health. Small changes add up, and your future self will thank you for starting now.     More from Dr. Jila  Website: jilamd.com  Instagram: @drjilasenemar  LinkedIn: Jila Meyer      This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast   IG: @reddrockmusic   www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Ovarian longevity is finally entering the spotlight, and today’s conversation shows why that shift matters for every woman. In this episode, Dr. Jila sits down with Kiran Kumar, founder and CEO of Timeless Biotech, the groundbreaking company behind the first ovarian age clock and time to menopause predictor. For the first time, women can measure their ovarian aging, understand their hormonal trajectory, and use data to guide both fertility planning and long-term health.  Kiran shares how standard hormone testing has failed women for decades, why machine learning can finally close that gap, and how her team built a model that interprets FSH, AMH, estradiol and symptom patterns with accuracy we’ve never had before. You’ll hear how this technology gives clinicians a new way to track ovulation, hormone health and menopause timing, plus how it may help delay menopause by supporting ovarian function and mitochondrial health.  This episode explores the future of personalized female longevity care, from targeted interventions and retesting cycles to the cellular therapies and hormone strategies that may reshape women’s health in the years ahead. And yes, Dr. Jila’s clinic will be one of the first in the country to pilot this technology in January 2026.  For more information about Kiran Kumar and Timeless Biotech please visit the website and join the waitlist: timelessbiotech.com       More from Dr. Jila  Website: jilamd.com  Instagram: @drjilasenemar  LinkedIn: Jila Meyer      This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast   IG: @reddrockmusic   www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Mitochondrial health is having a moment, and for good reason. In this conversation, Dr. Jila sits down with Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, Chief Science Officer at MitoQ, to explore how our cellular energy systems shape everything from cognition and aging to hormone balance and long term vitality. With a background that spans neuroscience, metabolism, mood, behavior, and global clinical research, Dr. Mitchell explains why mitochondrial function plays a central role in how women feel in midlife, especially as estrogen declines.  Together, they unpack how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to brain fog, fatigue, perimenopause symptoms, and cardiovascular changes; why estrogen is such a powerful mitochondrial protector; and what makes MitoQ’s cellular technology fundamentally different from traditional CoQ10. Dr. Mitchell also shares insights from emerging research on brain health, ovarian aging, cognitive decline, and the future of longevity science, including clinical trials currently underway.  If you’re curious about mitochondrial health, longevity, or science backed cellular support for women in midlife, this episode offers a clear and compelling deep dive into the world of cellular energy.  For more about where to purchase MitoQ and follow the product be sure to check out the links below and be sure to use the Promo Code DRJILA for 10% Discount on all products:  Website: mitoq.com Instagram: @mitoQ TikTok: @mitoq YouTube: youtube.com/user/MitoQHealth Facebook: facebook.com/MitoQ/ X (Twitter): @Mito_Q Spotify Podcast: Cell Me About It Pinterest: pinterest.com/mitoq/       More from Dr. Jila  Website: jilamd.com  Instagram: @drjilasenemar  LinkedIn: Jila Meyer      This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast   IG: @reddrockmusic   www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.

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.        More from Dr. Jila  Website: jilamd.com  Instagram: @drjilasenemar  LinkedIn: Jila Meyer      This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast   IG: @reddrockmusic   www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.        More from Dr. Jila  Website: jilamd.com  Instagram: @drjilasenemar  LinkedIn: Jila Meyer      This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast   IG: @reddrockmusic   www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.
