Tamara Kurmanalieva, MD, FAARFM, ABAARM

  Dr. Kurmanalieva earned her medical degree from Kyrgyz State Medical Academy as a top scholar - graduate. Then she completed cardiology fellowship in Kyrgyz National Cardiology and Research Institute, and had extensive clinical experience in cardiology and internal medicine along with Homeopathy, Irido-diagnosis and Herbal medicine back in Kyrgyzstan. After confirming her medical degree in the US, Dr. Kurmanalieva completed UC Davis School of Medicine affiliated Family Medicine Residency Program and the Advanced Fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. She is recertified in Homeopathy with Australian College of Health Sciences. Dr. Kurmanalieva is the founder and Medical Director of Tumesh for Optimal Health located in Irvine, California. Dedicated to the adage, If we don’t change, we don’t grow and without growth, we aren’t living”, Dr. Kurmanalieva knows the most holistic and integrative treatments today draw together traditional medicine, anti-aging and regenerative medicine, homeopathy, and her specialized training to prevent, detect, treat, and reverse age-related issues. So much more than simply a doctor treating others to the benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, Dr. Tamara Kurmanalieva has been using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy herself since 2008 and has witnessed the healing and restoration that comes from a body in balance.

  Her personal and academic knowledge of treatments comes from the American Academy of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Fellowship program she completed, her work with the bioidentical hormone replacement therapy pioneer Sangeeta Pati, MD, FACOG, and over 30 years of extensive clinical experience in cardiology, internal medicine, and family medicine. This broad platform of training, clinical experience, and knowledge supports her “patient as partner” modality that embraces a highly customized approach with respect to a patient’s complete emotional, physical and lifestyle contributors to health.

  Essentially, Dr. Kurmanalieva has never stopped learning. After coming to the U.S. as a foreign medical school graduate, she began to train anew with a program so rigorous it was as thorough as medical school had been the first time. The intensity of her second residency, and the significant fatigue and pain it brought out, was the inspiration for her own search and the basis for her discovery of the bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and the route to balanced and optimal health that she now shares with those under her care. Dr. Kurmanalieva evaluates her patients for a holistic view of their body’s functional and hormonal status. From there she recommends a treatment plan that is unique to a patient and may include BIHRT, if warranted. Her approach to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is prudent and safe and has been well tolerated by herself and her patients. She strives to achieve in her patients nutritionally sound body with healthy detoxification system, supported by healthy life style, for each hormone needs proper nutritional support to function adequately, be metabolized and removed from the body safely.
