Whether you’re a woman or a man in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or 50s. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause. Whether you’re a man dealing with low testosterone. Or whether you’re on a GLP-1 medication and confused about the muscle loss and bone loss you keep hearing about — and unsure what it really means for you.
In 5 hours over 5 weeks, as an endocrinologist, an osteoporosis specialist, and a lifestyle medicine specialist, I’ll walk you through what happens inside our bones and how to protect your bone health — at every stage of life.

Meet Dr. Makhija
I’m Dr. Chhaya Makhija — a triple board-certified endocrinologist and one of California’s leading specialists in metabolic and hormone health, with over 20 years of experience. Bone health is one of the most overlooked, misunderstood parts of our well-being — and one I’ve spent my career helping people protect. I created this workshop to give you the clarity and tools most people never get until it’s too late.
As an endocrinologist, my deepest belief is simple: so many of the conditions we fear are preventable — and osteoporosis is one of them. Too often, people only learn about their bones after a fracture, a scary scan, or a diagnosis that felt like it came out of nowhere. It doesn’t have to be that way.
I created this workshop because I want our community to prevent what can be prevented — to understand their bodies early, make informed choices, and walk into every doctor’s visit with clarity and confidence. That’s what preventive endocrinology means to me: giving you the knowledge to protect your health before something goes wrong.

What You Will Learn
Over 5 weeks, you’ll understand:
Why bone health matters — and why all of us are at risk for low bone density
How to prevent low bone density — with real, evidence-based steps
When bone loss can affect men and women at different stages of life
What tests to order & how to read your tests — and exactly what to bring to your own doctor
Each session is taught in plain language. You can submit your questions in advance, and I’ll answer them live.
At the end, you’ll walk away with:
A clear understanding of your own bone health
A prevention plan you can actually follow
The labs and screenings to ask for
Confidence to have an informed conversation with your doctor
Access to all replays
Week 1 - Understand Your Bones
We learn everything about the bone — simplified. How bone works, why it changes, and how hormones and bones are connected.
Week 2 - Nourish Your Bones
How nutrition truly impacts your bones — and the answers to the questions everyone’s confused about. How much vitamin D is good? How much calcium is too much? What about K2, creatine, and protein — do they help your bones? We cut through the noise with evidence, so you know what’s worth it and what’s just hype.
Week 3 - Move Your Bones
How movement strengthens your bones — and what actually works. Is it weight-bearing exercise or strength training that helps your bones? What if you’ve never lifted a weight in your life — what can you do instead? And do weighted vests really improve bone density? We’ll sort fact from trend, so you leave with movement that fits your life and truly protects your bones.
Week 4 - Move Your Bones
How hormonal conditions, weight loss, and GLP-1 medications affect your bones. Will hormone therapy work for you? Is estrogen or testosterone better for your bones? We’ll connect your hormones to your bone health — and cover which tests matter for low bone density and prevention.
Week 5 - Treatment, Testing, & Your Action Plan
Everything you want to know about what comes next — made clear. If you’ve read frightening things online about osteoporosis medications — learn what is evidence vs. what is hype. Plus: which labs are essential, how to actually get a bone density test, the difference between body composition and bone density, and how to know the right time to be screened. You’ll leave knowing exactly what to take to your clinician — and where to find trustworthy resources instead of the fear online.
Submit your questions in advance; I’ll answer them live.

I have been considering seeing Dr. Makhija for my hormone health for several months, but haven’t done so yet. This Masterclass focused on how hormones play a major role in your body’s entire health, and I realize that I shouldn’t put if off any longer. Through this series, I was able to witness how committed Dr. Makhija is to her specialty. She really is excited about sharing her knowledge and helping everyone improve their lives. I will be calling in for an appointment next week!

Dr. Makhija and her Masterclass program were immensely valuable to my understanding of my health and hormones. Her ability to break down complex endocrinology concepts into digestible/actionable knowledge has been invaluable. I highly recommend using Dr. Makhija as your endocrine expert.
