Bioidentical Hormones Marina Del Rey
Hot flashes, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, low libido—hormonal imbalance can derail your quality of life at any age. At Zeeba Medical in Marina Del Rey, we specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that mirrors the molecular structure of your body’s own hormones for a more natural fit than conventional synthetics. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, andropause, thyroid sluggishness, or adrenal fatigue, our integrative protocols restore balance and address root causes—nutrition, stress, gut health, and sleep.
Our BHRT Process
- Comprehensive Lab Panels – Serum &/or saliva testing for sex hormones, thyroid, cortisol, insulin, vitamin D, and key nutrients.
- Symptom & Lifestyle Review – Sleep, stress, diet, medications, and goals guide dosing.
- Precision Dosing & Form Selection – Creams, sublingual troches, slow‑release pellets, micronized capsules, or injections—whatever suits your lifestyle.
- Integrative Support – Gut healing, adrenal adaptogens, micronutrient repletion, and exercise plans to optimize receptor sensitivity.
- Follow‑Up & Fine‑Tuning – Labs at 8–12 weeks, then bi‑annually; symptom tracking via telehealth or in‑office consults.
