Trusted Menopause & HRT Specialist & HRT Specialist in California This Year 2025

Every year a growing number of California women google "menopause specialist California", "hormone therapy specialist CA", and "natural weight loss clinic" because they’re tired of night sweats, unexpected irritability, hormonal weight gain, mental cloudiness, insomnia, and painful intimacy that no one seems to fix. Most doctors simply say "this happens with age deal with it," but that’s outdated advice.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 15 years helping thousands of women across California, Walnut Creek, San Fran, LA, San Diego County, and the all of California take back control of their health by using individual treatment strategies rather than random solutions or one size fits all plans.

Here’s Why Picking the Ideal Menopause Specialist in California Is So Important

When menopause symptoms are left untreated or poorly treated, women face higher risks of heart-related conditions (now the #1 cause of mortality for women), osteoporosis, low mood, rapid weight gain, and adult-onset diabetes. A true menopause specialist doesn’t just focus on hot flashes in isolation they assess your endocrine function, mental health, energy balance, sleep quality, cortisol levels, and lifestyle to design a custom plan that rebuilds your vitality and supports your future wellbeing.

How to Identify a Expert Menopause & Hormone Specialist Unique?

I am board certified in mental health and neurology and weight management medicine, an active professional member of the North American Menopause Society (NAMS), and the author of the scientific article "Mood Disorder or Menopause?". I finished my medical residency at UCLA affiliated Kern program and have been a featured speaker at UCLA Grand Rounds and APPNA conferences. This powerful combination of advanced psychiatry training and advanced menopause training allows me to address the mental and bodily sides of menopause at the same time, something a small number of specialists in CA can deliver.

Modern HRT is completely 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 appropriate low dose and carefully followed with labs and follow-up, modern HRT is considered safe and often dramatically helpful. For women who initiate HRT within a decade of menopause or under 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 eliminates hot flashes, helps sleep, improves mood, restores libido, and assists metabolic symptoms. That said, some risks remain choice of formulation, 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 custom plan combining HRT (when appropriate) with lifestyle, sleep, metabolic, and mental health strategies to restore energy and protect long term health.

UzmaKhanMD offers expert care from a trusted menopause specialist California, providing tailored evaluations, symptom management, and holistic support to help women navigate hormonal changes with confidence and improved quality of life.

Premier Integrative Weight Loss Specialist for Menopause Weight Gain in the California Region

Stubborn menopause fat isn’t about willpower it’s hormonal. As estrogen declines, your body enters chronic stress patterns, insulin resistance develops, thyroid function slows down, and deep sleep decreases, your body receives powerful survival signals that tell it to hold onto weight in the abdominal region. This is exactly why traditional dieting fails 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 defensive fat storage mode designed to keep you safe during times of internal hormonal change.

At Prime Health MD, we offer two paths so you can select what aligns most for you and your body: Holistic Weight Loss (medication-free, no weight loss drugs) with 1:1 coaching on nutrition, detox, digestive repair, deep sleep restoration, stress management, and functional exercise that heal the body from within, or Clinical Fat Loss using medically supervised options such as safe semaglutide and tirzepatide alternatives when appropriate, backed by advanced labs to ensure you lose fat, not muscle. The majority of women lose 20–50+ pounds and keep it off long-term while feeling revitalized instead of deprived.
