    Breaking Free from the Ambition Trap with Amina AlTai

    So many people, especially women, feel stuck in a cycle of ambition. Right when we reach one goal, the next best thing is there. Today, Dr. Jila sits down with Amina AlTai, the author of The Ambition Trap, for a conversation on reframing ambition and success. They discuss the complexities of ambition and the impact of core wounds on our personal and professional lives. The conversation also delves into the importance of redefining success and contentment and how it’s important to define success outside of the professional sphere. We have so much more to offer, and focusing solely on career to define success can lead to burnout.    Amina also shares her personal journey of overcoming burnout. She shares her own wakeup call moment, and how it led her to start encouraging other women to reconnect with their true selves. She explains that establishing boundaries and understanding the mind-body connection is essential to building a sustainable relationship with ambition.  For more and to keep up with Amina visit: Instagram: @aminaaltai  Website: aminaaltai.com  Read The Ambition Trap      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.

    Breaking the Silence Around Women’s Sexual Health with Dr. Sameena Rahman

    Sex, desire, and pleasure are still some of the most misunderstood parts of women’s health, especially in midlife. In this episode, Dr. Jila is joined by OB GYN and sexual medicine specialist Dr. Sameena Rahman, also known as Gyno Girl, for an honest conversation about why sexual health is so often ignored and how women can reclaim it.  They talk about the cultural taboos that keep women silent, the real science behind libido, why pain during sex is never something you just have to accept, and how perimenopause and menopause reshape intimacy. Dr. Rahman explains the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire, how relationships and stress impact sexual function, and why movement, sleep, and communication matter just as much as hormones.  The conversation also explores how culture and upbringing shape women’s beliefs about sex, why so many women feel disconnected from pleasure, and what modern midlife care should actually look like. This episode is empowering, practical, and deeply validating for anyone who has felt confused, dismissed, or alone in their sexual health journey.  If you want to know more and keep up with Dr. Sameena, be sure to check out:  Instagram: @gynogirl  LinkedIn: Sameena Rahman  YouTube: GynoGirl TV  Podcast: Gyno Girl Presents: Sex, Drugs & Hormones  Website: thegsmcollective.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.

    Rethinking Menopause Care: Hormones, Lifestyle, and Sexual Wellness with Dr. Sarah De La Torre

    Menopause care doesn’t have to be one size fits all and it certainly shouldn’t stop at “it is what it is.”  In this episode, Dr. Sarah De La Torre, a board-certified OB GYN with over 25 years of experience, shares how her career evolved from traditional medicine into a more holistic, personalized approach to caring for women in perimenopause and menopause. Drawing from her background in lifestyle medicine, functional medicine, and hormonal health, she explains why many women feel dismissed or underserved and what truly effective care looks like.  The conversation covers everything from hormonal therapy and vaginal health to libido, bladder issues, sleep, weight changes, and why sexual wellness is still one of the most overlooked parts of women’s health. Dr. De La Torre also dives into her work with Joylux and Respin.Health, including how red-light therapy, lifestyle support, community, and education can dramatically improve quality of life during midlife.  This episode is an empowering, honest look at menopause as a phase of possibility rather than decline and a reminder that women deserve care that is thoughtful, science based and centered on feeling good in their bodies.   Keep up with Dr. Sarah by visiting the links below to stay up to date with everything she’s working on, and be sure to check out Joylux and Respin.Health as well!    Instagram: Drsarah_menopausemd  Website: Lumaniwellness.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.

    High Functioning, Low Joy: The Depression No One Sees with Dr. Judith Joseph

    You can be successful, productive, and doing everything right on paper and still feel empty inside.  In this episode, Dr. Judith Joseph, psychiatrist, researcher, and author of High Functioning Depression, breaks down the mental health struggle so many people experience but rarely talk about: high functioning depression. It’s the quiet version of depression where you keep showing up, keep achieving, and keep pushing forward, even as joy slowly disappears.  The conversation explores how unresolved trauma, constant productivity, and midlife hormonal shifts can all contribute to feeling numb, restless, or disconnected, especially for women who are used to being the strong one. Dr. Joseph explains why symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, sleep issues, and identity changes often show up during perimenopause and menopause, and why these experiences are frequently misunderstood or misdiagnosed.  They also dive into the science of joy, why modern life and constant screen time are robbing us of it, and how small, intentional changes can help restore it. From redefining happiness to understanding your personal biopsychosocial model, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and a more compassionate way to think about mental health.  This is a conversation for anyone who feels “meh,” burned out, or disconnected, even though life looks good from the outside.  Be sure to pick up a copy of High Functioning Depression to dive deeper into Dr. Joseph’s work and practical tools for reconnecting with joy.    For more from Dr. Judith, check out her website and give her a follow using the links below:   Website: drjudithjoseph.com  Instagram: @drjudithjoseph TikTok: @drjudithjoseph Facebook: Dr. Judith Joseph LinkedIn: Dr. Judith Joseph Youtube: @drjudithjoseph Forbes: Dr. Judith Joseph      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.

    Midlife Isn’t Broken: Dr. Jessica Shepherd on Hormones, Health, and Aging Well

    If you’ve been feeling off, tired, irritated, foggy, or just not like yourself and keep wondering if this is “just aging,” this episode will feel familiar.  Dr. Jila sits down with Dr. Jessica Shepherd, board certified OBGYN and women’s health expert, for a real, no-nonsense conversation about perimenopause, menopause, and why so many women feel completely unprepared for this stage of life.  They talk about how symptoms can start years earlier than most people expect, why hormones affect way more than just your cycle, and why so many women are dismissed or told everything is “normal.” Dr. Shepherd shares what she sees every day in practice, how her own journey shaped her approach to care, and why learning to trust yourself again is a huge part of feeling better.  They also get into longevity, metabolism, daily habits that actually matter, and why small changes done consistently are far more powerful than trying to overhaul your entire life. Dr. Shepherd explains why she wrote Generation F and wanted to give women something practical, honest, and reassuring instead of more fear or confusion.  This episode is for anyone who wants answers, clarity, and to feel less alone in what they’re experiencing.  Follow Dr. Jessica Shepherd on Instagram @jessicashepherdmd Learn more at www.jessicashepherdmd.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.

    Weight Is Not Willpower: A Clear Look at GLP One Therapy with Dr. Alexandra Sowa

    GLP one medications are everywhere right now, but most of the conversation is missing context, nuance, and science. In this episode, Dr. Jila sits down with Dr. Alexandra Sowa, a dual board-certified physician in internal medicine and obesity medicine, to break down what these medications actually do, who they are for, and how they fit into long term metabolic health for women.  They discuss why weight is a chronic disease rooted in biology rather than willpower, how hormonal shifts in midlife complicate weight and metabolic health, and why shame and misinformation have shaped so many women's experiences with their bodies. Dr Sowa explains how GLP one medications work in the body, what side effects to expect, how to manage them, and why these medications are not a short-term fix but a potential long-term tool.  The conversation also covers lab testing, body composition, muscle preservation, nutrition, fiber, hydration, supplements, and the realities of maintenance, microdosing, and stopping treatment. This episode offers a clear, evidence-based look at GLP one therapy without hype, fear, or oversimplification.  To keep up with Dr Sowa, be sure to follow her on social media. Instagram and TikTok: @alexandrasowamd       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.

    Women's Health, Longevity & The Nutrition Pillars

    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.
