Services
Hormone replacement therapy
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy addresses menopausal symptoms and long-term health protection. This treatment restores hormonal balance using plant-derived hormones identical to human estrogen and progesterone. Patients benefit from improved bone density, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function while managing hot flashes and mood changes.
Food allergy testing
Specialized blood testing identifies immune responses to common food allergens. This diagnostic process reveals inflammatory triggers linked to chronic conditions like migraines, eczema, and autoimmune disorders. Elimination diets based on test results help reduce systemic inflammation and improve overall health outcomes.
Low Dose Naltrexone therapy
Low Dose Naltrexone therapy modulates immune function through endorphin regulation. This approach benefits patients with autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain conditions. The treatment protocol follows established research guidelines and includes ongoing patient monitoring for optimal results.
Nutritional counseling
Personalized nutritional guidance addresses dietary factors in chronic disease management. The counseling focuses on evidence-based dietary modifications to reduce inflammation and support immune function. Patients receive practical strategies for implementing long-term dietary changes.
Autoimmune disease management
Comprehensive management plans combine hormone therapy, allergy elimination, and nutritional support for autoimmune conditions. Treatment addresses underlying triggers while supporting immune system regulation. Patients receive individualized protocols for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.

Report
Dr. Marzell is not only a wonderful person, but she is a very compassionate doctor. She was understanding of my health concerns and has put me on a natural regimen to aid my body in its innate healing process. So many doctors out there treat you like a 'number,' it was refreshing to see a doctor so passionate about her craft and her patient. I would recommend anyone to her, she's wonderful.

Report
Dr. Marzell has been treating me for over 12 years and, most importantly, she listens well and takes as much time during each appointment as needed. She gives menopausal care which is her specialty but I also found her very helpful for a persistent allergy when the top OHSU MD wasn't. I also follow her recommendation to get B-12 shots which help with mood and energy. Since supplementing with lots of vitamin D, I very rarely have a cold or flu. She's my primary care physician and the best doctor I've had.
