Every year thousands California women type into search engines "menopause expert in California", "hormone replacement therapy (HRT) specialist CA", and "holistic fat loss center" because they’re frustrated with night sweats, sudden mood swings, unexplained weight gain around the belly, poor concentration, restless nights, and painful intimacy that rarely gets proper attention. Most doctors simply say "it’s just menopause just live with it," but that’s incorrect guidance. You deserve real answers and real relief. My name is Dr. Uzma Khan, and at Prime Health Medical I’ve spent the last more than a decade helping women of all ages across Northern California, Walnut Creek, San Francisco, LA, San Diego, and the entire state of California regain their confidence by using personalized care rather than trial and error or holistic weight loss clinic cookie-cutter solutions.
Why Locating the Most Trusted Menopause Care Provider in California Is So Important
When menopause symptoms are ignored or handled incorrectly, women face increased risks of heart-related conditions (now the leading cause of mortality for women), osteoporosis, depression, unexplained fat gain, and insulin resistance. A experienced menopause specialist doesn’t just focus on vasomotor symptoms in isolation they assess your hormones, emotional wellbeing, energy balance, rest patterns, daily stress, and overall routine to create a tailored plan that restores your vitality and supports your long-term health.
What Sets Apart a Board-Certified Women's Hormone Doctor Stand Out?
I am board certified in mental health and neurology and metabolic medicine, an active affiliate member of the North American Menopause Society, and the publisher of the published paper "Mood Disorders vs Menopause". I completed my medical residency at UCLA-Kern and have been a keynote speaker at UCLA medical grand rounds and APPNA medical conventions. This unique combination of psychiatric expertise and high-level menopause certification allows me to address the psychological and hormonal sides of menopause at the same stage, something very few doctors in California can offer.
Hormone Therapy (HRT) in Central California Performed Safely and Properly
Today’s HRT is far different from the early 2000s studies that scared many women, and when managed by an expert menopause specialist with FDA-approved options (patches, gels, creams, or pellets) at the lowest effective dose and properly monitored 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 under age 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 resolves vasomotor symptoms, improves sleep, reduces mood swings, improves sexual function, and helps with menopause-related weight changes. That said, HRT is not risk free 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 symptoms disrupt your life, 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 Lifestyle-Focused Weight Loss Specialist for Hormone-Related Weight Gain in Northern California
Menopause belly fat isn’t about discipline it’s biological. As estrogen declines, cortisol rises, glucose metabolism slows, thyroid function slows down, and rest becomes fragmented, your body receives powerful storage signals that tell it to protect energy in the belly area. This is exactly why traditional dieting fails during the midlife hormonal shift 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 proven approaches so you can select what feels right for you and your body: Holistic Weight Loss (holistic, no anti-obesity medications) with personal coaching on food protocols, cellular cleansing, gut healing, sleep optimization, adrenal balancing, and movement that fix root causes naturally, or Clinical Fat Loss using FDA-approved medications such as doctor-monitored injectables when appropriate, backed by lab testing to ensure you reduce body fat safely. Many of our clients lose 20–50+ pounds and maintain results long-term while feeling energized instead of deprived.
