DR. CHHAYA MAKHIJA
Redefining metabolic health and longevity by integrating GLP-1s with lifestyle medicine.
Dr. Chhaya Makhija, M.D., DipABLM, is a triple board-certified endocrinologist and lifestyle medicine specialist with nearly two decades of experience helping patients understand their hormones, optimize metabolic health, and prevent chronic disease. She is the founder of Unified Endocrine & Diabetes Care, California’s first direct-care endocrinology and lifestyle medicine practice, created to deliver personalized, unhurried care rooted in trust and transformation.
Dr. Makhija is widely recognized for her expertise in metabolic health and the thoughtful, evidence-based use of GLP-1 medications as part of a comprehensive approach to weight management, insulin resistance, and long-term health. Rather than viewing GLP-1s as a standalone solution, she integrates them within a broader framework that includes nutrition, lifestyle optimization, mindfulness, and sustainable behavior change — ensuring patients achieve results that support both longevity and overall well-being.
