About

Hello Friends! This is Dr. Chhaya Makhija, I am a Triple Board-certified physician specializing in Internal Medicine, Diabetes, Endocrinology, Metabolism, and Lifestyle Medicine. In 2021, I founded Unified Endocrine & Diabetes Care, California pioneering direct specialty care practice that seamlessly integrates Endocrine and Lifestyle Medicine to enhance patient and community well-being. I am also certified in plant-based nutrition from eCornell University. I am deeply committed to medical education, serving as an Assistant Professor, and my clinical expertise centers on thyroid and metabolic disorders, with a strong focus on preventing and optimizing Type 2 Diabetes, mitigating diabetes-related complications, and addressing Metabolic Syndrome and Metabolic Bone Diseases, including Osteoporosis. I also enjoy developing educational materials for patients and the community on vital health topics such as Diabetes, nutrition, lifestyle, osteoporosis, women's health, breath work, and sleep. These resources are freely available on my website www.unifiedendocrinecare.com. By integrating an evidence-based holistic approach to the prevention and treatment of diseases, I envision advancing patient & public health through education and empowerment.
