Every year a growing number of California women actively seek "CA menopause doctor", "HRT clinic California", and "integrative weight loss center" because they’re exhausted by intense night sweating, unexpected irritability, unexplained weight gain around the belly, memory issues, broken sleep, and discomfort during intimacy that most doctors ignore. Most doctors simply say "this is normal deal with it," but that’s no longer true. You deserve clear answers and real relief. My name is Dr. Uzma Khan, and at Prime Health MD I’ve spent the last over 15 years helping thousands of women across California, East Bay, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego County, and the all of California regain their confidence by using individual treatment strategies rather than trial and error or standardized approaches.
Why It’s Important to Know Why Finding the Best Menopause Specialist in California Makes a Real Difference
When menopause symptoms are dismissed or badly managed, women face greater risks of cardiovascular disease (now the number one cause of death for women), osteoporosis, depression, sudden weight increase, and insulin resistance. A true menopause specialist doesn’t just focus on night sweats in separation they evaluate your hormones, mental health, energy balance, rest patterns, daily stress, and lifestyle to create a tailored plan that restores your strength and protects your long-term health.
What Defines a Specialized HRT Professional Stand Out?
I am double board-certified in mental health and neurology and Obesity Medicine, an current recognized member of the NAMS, and the author of the published paper "Mood Disorder or Menopause". I successfully completed my medical residency at UCLA Kern Medical Center and have been a featured speaker at UCLA Grand Rounds and APPNA conferences. This rare combination of psychiatric expertise and high-level menopause certification allows me to manage the emotional and hormonal sides of menopause at the same time, something a small number of specialists in CA can offer.
HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) in Greater California Region Done Safely & Correctly
Today’s HRT is far different from the 2002 WHI-era studies that alarmed many women, here and when prescribed by an trained menopause specialist with established options (patches, gels, creams, or pellets) at the lowest effective dose and regularly monitored with labs and follow-up, modern HRT is considered safe and often life-changing. For women who begin HRT within 10 years 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 resolves vasomotor symptoms, improves sleep, stabilizes mood, improves sexual function, and helps with menopause-related weight changes. That said, there are risks choice of preparation, 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 you’re struggling with severe symptoms, 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 Mind-Body Weight Loss Health Clinic for Menopause Belly Fat in CA
Menopausal belly fat isn’t about willpower it’s driven by internal changes. As estrogen declines, cortisol rises, blood sugar control worsens, thyroid function slows down, and deep sleep decreases, your body receives powerful fat-preservation signals that tell it to hold onto weight in the abdominal region. 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 hormone-driven preservation state designed to keep you safe during times of internal hormonal change.
At Prime Health MD, we offer multiple paths so you can choose what feels right for you and your body: Metabolic Weight Loss (medication-free, no synthetic appetite suppressants) with private guidance on nutrition, cellular cleansing, gut healing, circadian rhythm repair, stress management, and movement that fix root causes naturally, or Clinical Fat Loss using clinically tested treatments such as doctor-monitored injectables when appropriate, backed by advanced labs to ensure you burn fat while preserving lean mass. Most patients lose significant body fat and keep it off long-term while feeling energized instead of deprived.
