Women's Health
Why Women’s Health Matters
Women have unique health needs that require special attention. Whether it's pregnancy, menopause, or issues with your reproductive organs, staying proactive is key. Conditions like cervical, ovarian, and breast cancers, low bone density, heart disease, hormone imbalances, depression, anxiety, and STIs often hit women harder. Early detection is crucial and annual women’s health exams are a must. These visits can catch issues early, helping you dodge serious health complications.
At Marina Village Medicine in Alameda, California, Dr. Jagmohan Khaira and Dr. Elpidio Magalong, Jr., along with their experienced female nurse practitioners, are a dedicated team focused on women’s health, offering personalized care in a welcoming environment. From wellness checkups and chronic disease management to Pap tests, we’ve got you covered.
Diabetes
Taking control of Diabetes
Diabetes affects millions, and over a third of adults in the U.S. are at risk with pre-diabetes - a condition that can lead to serious health issues if ignored. At Marina Village Medicine, Dr. Jag Khaira and Dr. Elpidio Magalong and their care team will help you outsmart diabetes. We test your blood sugar, offer tips to reverse pre-diabetes, and create personalized treatment plans.
What is diabetes? Diabetes happens when your body struggles with blood sugar. Type 1 means your body doesn't make enough insulin, Type 2 is when your body can't use insulin well, and pre-diabetes is your body’s warning sign. Symptoms like extreme thirst, fatigue, or blurry vision could mean diabetes. Left unchecked, diabetes can cause heart and kidney problems, nerve damage, and more. But don't stress—making simple lifestyle changes can lower your risks, improve blood sugar, and even prevent diabetes.
Hypertension
Managing Hypertension
High blood pressure is the sneaky culprit behind heart disease, affecting one in three U.S. adults. Dr. Jag Khaira and Dr. Elpidio Magalong, along with their expert team at Marina Village Medicine, are dedicated to helping you manage it. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is when your blood is pushing too hard against your artery walls, making your heart work overtime. It can lead to serious issues like strokes, heart attacks, or kidney failure. The catch? It often comes with zero symptoms, but when it does—like shortness of breath, headaches, or nosebleeds—you need to act fast. Several factors can increase your risk, including age, genetics, weight, inactivity, stress, and a salty diet.
Managing high blood pressure starts with lifestyle changes: eat better, move more, reduce stress, but may also require medication. Ready to take control of your blood pressure? Marina Village Medicine is here to help you stay ahead of the curve. Book your blood pressure check today!

Medical Weight Loss
Over 70% of adults in the U.S. are classified as overweight or obese. If past attempts at weight loss have left you feeling discouraged, don’t lose hope. At Marina Village Medicine in Alameda, California, Dr. Jagmohan Khaira and his skilled team offer a proven weight loss program designed to help you shed those extra pounds and keep them off for good.
Understanding overweight and obesity is key to tackling them. Being overweight means your body mass index (BMI) is over 24.9, while a BMI of 30 or higher signals obesity. While BMI is helpful guideline, it's important to remember that muscle weighs more than fat, which can sometimes lead to a higher BMI in individuals with a muscular build. Several factors can increase your risk of becoming overweight or obese, including genetics, lack of physical activity, poor diet, sleep deprivation, stress, hormone imbalances, and some prescription medications you may be taking.
Don’t let past failures stop you from reaching your ideal weight. Schedule a weight loss consultation with Marina Village Medicine today and start your journey to a healthier you.
Please note that our weight loss program is cash pay, as most insurance plans don’t cover weight loss services. Learn More
