Expert Hormone Health Doctor & Hormone Balance Expert in California (2025)
Every year hundreds of thousands California women type into search engines "CA menopause doctor", "HRT clinic California", and "holistic fat loss center" because they’re overwhelmed by hot flashes, emotional ups and downs, unexplained weight gain around the belly, mental cloudiness, insomnia, and loss of desire that rarely gets proper attention. Most doctors simply say "this is normal learn to cope," but that’s incorrect guidance. You deserve real answers and real relief. My name is Dr. Uzma Khan, and at Prime Health MD I’ve spent the last over 15 years helping women of all ages across Northern California, Contra Costa County, San Francisco, Los Angeles, SoCal, and the whole state take back control of their health by using tailored programs rather than trial and error or standardized approaches.
The Real Reason Why Locating the Best Menopause Specialist in California Is So Important
When menopause symptoms are left untreated or improperly addressed, women face greater risks of heart-related conditions (now the number one cause of mortality for women), weakening of bones, low mood, sudden weight increase, and type 2 diabetes. A experienced menopause specialist doesn’t just focus on night sweats in isolation they assess your hormones, emotional wellbeing, metabolism, rest patterns, cortisol levels, and overall routine to design a custom plan that rebuilds your strength and protects your future wellbeing.
Why It Matters to Pick a True HRT & Menopause Specialist Recommended by Experts?
I am board certified in psychiatry and neurology and weight management medicine, an current recognized member of the North American Menopause Society, and the author of the scientific article "Mood Disorder or Menopause". I finished my medical residency at UCLA-Kern and have been a guest speaker at UCLA professional conferences and APPNA conferences. This unique combination of psychiatric expertise and specialized menopause education allows me to manage the mental and physical sides of menopause at the same time, something a small number of specialists in CA can provide.
HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) in CA Done the Professional Way
Modern HRT is very different from the early 2000s studies that scared many women, and when used by an expert menopause specialist with established options (patches, gels, creams, or pellets) at the minimally effective dose and carefully followed with labs and follow-up, modern HRT is considered safe and often life-changing. For women who start within 10 years of their last period or before age 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 resolves vasomotor symptoms, restores sleep, stabilizes mood, helps sexual interest, and reduces midlife weight gain. That said, there are risks choice of drug, route (oral vs transdermal), and progestogen type matters for breast and clot risk, and treatment must be tailored 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.
Expert Whole-Body Weight Loss Program for Menopause Weight Gain in CA
Stubborn menopause fat isn’t about discipline it’s driven by internal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) specialist CA changes. As female hormones shift, your body enters chronic stress patterns, glucose metabolism slows, thyroid function slows down, and sleep becomes poor, your body receives powerful storage signals that tell it to hold onto weight in the abdominal region. This is exactly why standard calorie-cutting doesn’t work during the menopausal transition 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 biological protection pattern designed to keep you safe during times of internal hormonal change.
At Prime Health MD, we offer two paths so you can choose what works best for you and your body: Natural Weight Optimization (natural, no synthetic appetite suppressants) with 1:1 coaching on food protocols, toxin reduction, microbiome balance, sleep optimization, stress management, and functional exercise that fix root causes naturally, or Physician-Guided Weight Loss using clinically tested treatments such as next-generation GLP-1 therapies when appropriate, backed by lab testing to ensure you lose fat, not muscle. Most patients lose substantial weight and hold onto their success long-term while feeling energized instead of deprived.
