Trusted Menopause & HRT Specialist & Hormone Optimization Expert in California for 2025

Every year a growing number of California women google "menopause specialist California", "HRT doctor in California", and "holistic weight loss clinic" because they’re overwhelmed by night sweats, unexpected irritability, stubborn belly fat, mental cloudiness, insomnia, and painful sex that most doctors ignore. Most doctors simply say "this happens with age accept it," but that’s incorrect guidance. You deserve clear answers and real relief. My name is Dr. Uzma, and at Prime Health MD I’ve spent the last many years helping women of all ages across Northern California, East Bay, San Francisco, LA, San Diego, and the entire state of California take back control of their health by using personalized care rather than random solutions or one size fits all plans.

Here’s Why Choosing the Ideal Menopause Physician in California Actually Matters

When menopause symptoms are ignored or badly managed, women face elevated risks of cardiovascular disease (now the number one cause of death for women), bone loss, depression, unexplained fat gain, and adult-onset diabetes. A true menopause specialist doesn’t just address hot flashes in separation they look at your hormones, mood, metabolism, sleep quality, daily stress, and lifestyle to build a personalized plan that rebuilds your vitality and safeguards your lasting health.

Why Choose a Certified Hormone Health Expert The Best Option?

I am dual board-certified in mental health and neurology and weight management medicine, an active recognized member of the NAMS, and the publisher of the published paper "Mood Disorder or Menopause?". I finished my residency training at UCLA-Kern and have been a keynote speaker at UCLA professional conferences and APPNA here medical conventions. This powerful combination of advanced psychiatry training and high-level menopause certification allows me to treat the psychological and bodily sides of menopause at the same level, something only a handful of physicians in the state of California can deliver.

Professional Hormone Therapy in Central California Done Safely & Correctly

Modern HRT is far different from the 2002 WHI-era studies that misled many women, and when prescribed by an trained menopause specialist with FDA-approved 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 transformative. For women who begin HRT within 10 years of menopause or prior to turning 60, the net benefit tends to be positive 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, improves sexual function, and reduces midlife weight gain. That said, HRT is not risk free choice of formulation, route (oral vs transdermal), and progestogen type matters for breast and clot risk, and treatment must be personalized with shared decision making, ongoing monitoring, and the option to adjust or stop therapy as needed. If you’re struggling with severe symptoms, a specialist can design a individual 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 Functional Weight Loss Center for Midlife Weight Changes in Southern California

Menopause belly fat isn’t about self-control it’s driven by internal changes. As estrogen drops, stress hormones increase, insulin resistance develops, the metabolism-regulating thyroid becomes less efficient, and deep sleep decreases, your body receives powerful storage signals that tell it to store fat around the middle. This is exactly why standard calorie-cutting doesn’t work during perimenopause and full menopause, 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 defensive fat storage mode designed to keep you safe during times of internal hormonal change.

At Prime Health MD, we offer multiple approaches so you can decide on what works best for you and your body: Metabolic Weight Loss (medication-free, no anti-obesity medications) with 1:1 coaching on nutrition, cellular cleansing, gut healing, deep sleep restoration, adrenal balancing, and functional exercise that fix root causes naturally, or Medical Weight Loss using medically supervised options such as doctor-monitored injectables when required, backed by lab testing to ensure you burn fat while preserving lean mass. The majority of women lose substantial weight and keep it off long-term while feeling strong instead of deprived.
