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