Every year hundreds of thousands California women look up "menopause expert in California", "HRT clinic California", and "holistic weight loss clinic" because they’re tired of night sweats, sudden mood swings, midsection weight gain, memory issues, sleepless nights, and discomfort during intimacy that no one seems to fix. Most doctors simply say "this is normal learn to cope," but that’s outdated advice. You deserve clear answers and lasting relief. My name is Uzma Khan MD, and at Prime Health Medical I’ve spent the last over 15 years helping thousands of women across the Bay Area, Contra Costa County, SF, Los Angeles, San Diego County, and the entire state of California take back control of their health by using tailored programs rather than trial and error or cookie-cutter solutions.
Understanding Why Securing the Right Menopause Physician in California Is Essential
When menopause symptoms are dismissed or poorly treated, women face increased risks of cardiovascular disease (now the leading cause of death for women), osteoporosis, depression, sudden weight increase, and type 2 diabetes. A true menopause specialist doesn’t just address hot flashes in a limited way they evaluate your hormones, mental health, energy balance, sleep quality, cortisol levels, and overall routine to create a personalized plan that restores your strength and protects your lasting health.
What Defines a Highly-Trained Women's Hormone Doctor The Best Option?
I am double board-certified in psychiatry and neurology and Obesity Medicine, an active professional member of the North American Menopause Society, and the writer of the published paper "Mood Disorders vs Menopause". I finished my medical residency at UCLA Kern Medical Center and have been a guest speaker at UCLA medical grand rounds and APPNA medical conventions. This unique combination of psychiatric expertise and specialized menopause education allows here me to manage the psychological and hormonal sides of menopause at the same stage, something only a handful of physicians in CA can offer.
Safe Hormone Replacement Therapy in Southern California Provided Safely and Professionally
Today’s HRT is very different from the initial WHI findings that scared many women, and when prescribed by an trained menopause specialist with established options (patches, gels, creams, or pellets) at the appropriate low dose and carefully followed with labs and follow-up, modern HRT is considered safe and often life-changing. For women who initiate HRT within a decade of menopause or prior to turning 60, the balance of benefits to risks is better randomized and pooled analyses show reductions in cardiovascular events, fractures, and all-cause mortality in that group while HRT also reliably eliminates hot flashes, restores sleep, stabilizes mood, restores libido, and reduces midlife weight gain. That said, some risks remain choice of drug, route (oral vs transdermal), and progestogen type matters for breast and clot risk, and treatment must be individualized with shared decision making, ongoing monitoring, and the option to adjust or stop therapy as needed. If hot flashes, sleep problems, or mood issues are severe, a specialist can design a personalized plan combining HRT (when appropriate) with lifestyle, sleep, metabolic, and mental health strategies to restore energy and protect long term health.
At UzmaKhanMD, our hormone replacement therapy (HRT) specialist CA services focus on restoring hormonal balance, improving energy levels, and supporting long-term wellness through personalized, evidence-based treatment plans designed for women experiencing perimenopause or menopause.
Leading Mind-Body Weight Loss Program for Hormone-Related Weight Gain in CA
Stubborn menopause fat isn’t about willpower it’s biological. As female hormones shift, stress hormones increase, glucose metabolism slows, the metabolism-regulating thyroid becomes less efficient, and sleep becomes poor, your body receives powerful survival signals that tell it to hold onto weight in the abdominal region. This is exactly why normal weight loss plans stop working during the midlife hormonal shift and full postmenopause, because your body is no longer responding to food and exercise the way it did in your 20s or 30s, and instead operates in a hormone-driven preservation state designed to keep you safe during times of internal hormonal change.
At Prime Health MD, we offer multiple options so you can decide on what aligns most for you and your body: Natural Weight Optimization (medication-free, no weight loss drugs) with personal coaching on food protocols, detox, gut healing, sleep optimization, stress management, and movement that heal the body from within, or Medical Weight Loss using medically supervised options such as next-generation GLP-1 therapies when appropriate, backed by advanced labs to ensure you lose fat, not muscle. Many of our clients lose 20–50+ pounds and keep it off long-term while feeling strong instead of deprived.
