  Aug 19, 202641 min

  What happens when a firefighter-paramedic realizes that reactive healthcare is failing patients? In this episode of Her Time, Her Health, Dr. Jila is joined by Sammy Tejada—former firefighter-paramedic, founder and CEO of Liquid Vita, chairman of the American IV Association, and author of How to Win in Modern Wellness—to explore the shift from emergency response to proactive longevity. Sammy shares his story of working in emergency medicine while drawing blood for pioneering longevity doctors, noticing a stark contrast between patients trapped in chronic disease and those actively reversing decline through functional medicine.

  Dr. Majid Fotuhi Explains How Neuroplasticity Allows Us to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline

  Aug 5, 202637 min

  Is brain fog or memory loss an inevitable part of aging, or can we actively rewire and strengthen our brains as we get older? In this episode of Her Time, Her Health, Dr. Jila is joined by world-renowned neurologist and neuroscientist Dr. Majid Fotuhi, author of The Invincible Brain, to discuss the remarkable power of neuroplasticity and proactive brain health. Together, Dr. Jila and Dr. Fotuhi break down the five science-backed pillars of cognitive longevity—exercise, sleep, nutrition, stress reduction, and brain training. They explore why brain shrinkage actually begins in our 30s and 40s, how midlife hormonal shifts contribute to brain fog, and why lifestyle interventions like vigorous aerobic exercise can physically expand the hippocampus. Dr. Fotuhi also clarifies the difference between normal age-related memory decline and clinical dementia, offering an optimistic, evidence-based roadmap for keeping your mind sharp at any age. In this episode, you’ll learn: The Power of Neuroplasticity: How your brain can form new synapses and physically grow new neurons well into your 70s, 80s, and beyond. The Five Pillars of Brain Health: The most essential, non-debatable lifestyle interventions for lifelong cognitive sharpness. When Brain Aging Begins: Why microscopic structural changes start as early as your 30s and why midlife is the critical window for prevention. Brain Fog vs. Dementia: Reassuring insights into perimenopausal brain fog, hormone replacement therapy, and the difference between general cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. Nutrition for Cognitive Vitality: Why processed junk foods shrink the brain and how high-fiber diets produce neuroprotective short-chain fatty acids. The Most Potent Brain Intervention: Why vigorous aerobic exercise stimulates BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) to grow memory centers faster than any supplement. Understanding Biomarkers: The science behind the p-tau 217 blood test and what the next decade holds for Alzheimer's prevention and treatment.

  Jul 22, 202619 min

  Your gut health is THE missing piece in your menopause journey.   Dr. Cynthia Thurlow breaks down what's really happening when estrogen declines, and it's SO much more than just bloating!   As estrogen drops: • Your gut barrier weakens (hello autoimmune risk!) • Insulin sensitivity decreases • You produce less stomach acid & digestive enzymes • Bile production changes (fat breakdown struggles)   What you can do NOW:   ✅ Prioritize 7-8 hours quality sleep ✅ Focus on stress management (it rewires your nervous system!) ✅ Eat protein-centric with 25-30g fiber daily ✅ Strength train > chronic cardio ✅ Support your vagus nerve   The truth? Weight gain is NOT an inevitable part of aging when you understand what's happening beneath the surface.   Which of these strategies are you implementing first?
