Meet our team

With Medyca you are not in the hands of a single doctor: you join a coordinated model of care. Clinical direction rests with Dr Cristina Lenzi, a specialist in Internal Medicine and an expert in bioidentical hormones, who defines the protocols, the training of the doctors and the quality control of the Bioidentical Hormone Pathway. When the clinical picture requires it, specialists from other disciplines become part of it, working in coordination with the doctor who looks after you.

Dr Cristina Lenzi

Specialist in internal medicine, osteoporosis and bioidentical hormones

Medical Director

She is among the leading Italian specialists in bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT): Level I and Level II Master's at the Marion Gluck Clinic in London; a specialisation in Internal Medicine, cum laude, and a PhD in osteometabolic diseases at the Università di Siena; and over twenty years as a Dirigente Medico (senior hospital physician) with the ASL Sud-Est Toscana.

She defines the protocols of the Bioidentical Hormone Pathway, the training of the doctors who apply it and the quality control. The principle is that the symptoms of menopause have to be interpreted in the context of the whole body (hormonal axis, bone metabolism, thyroid function, metabolic profile): this is the 360° approach on which every clinical assessment at Medyca is based.

The doctors of the Bioidentical Hormone Pathway

The doctor who takes charge of your care gives you a 360° health assessment, builds a therapy tailored to your hormonal profile and, when the clinical picture requires it, offers you complementary specialist assessments.

Dr Martina Meocci

Physician, trained in bioidentical hormone therapy, specialist in Respiratory Diseases

She looks after women in perimenopause and menopause on the Bioidentical Hormone Pathway, applying the protocols defined by Dr Cristina Lenzi, with whom she trained in bioidentical hormone therapy.

Women's health has been at the centre of her training since university. She graduated cum laude in Medicine and Surgery in Siena with a thesis in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and completed a period of training in the Gynaecology and Obstetrics department of the Policlinico Le Scotte.

Her specialisation in Respiratory Diseases adds another piece to Medyca's 360-degree view. With menopause, sleep and respiratory function also change, aspects that rightly form part of the assessment of the patient.

She has clinical research experience, with international publications in the field of pneumology, and a constant focus on prevention.

The specialists of the Bioidentical Hormone Pathway

Some patients reach menopause with a clinical picture that goes beyond hormonal status. When needed, your doctor can offer a cardiometabolic assessment (weight and waist circumference, blood pressure, lipid and glucose profile) during follow-up visits, within the Bioidentical Hormone Pathway. Access depends on the medical assessment. The specialist retains clinical responsibility for their own intervention and works in coordination with your doctor.

Prof. Riccardo Sarzani

Full Professor of Internal Medicine, Università Politecnica delle Marche

He supports Medyca as scientific adviser in building the cardiometabolic assessment and fitting it into the Bioidentical Hormone Pathway: it is the contribution that extends Medyca's 360° approach to menopause to the heart, blood pressure and metabolism.

He directs the Clinica Medica e Geriatrica of the IRCCS INRCA in Ancona and the Marche Region reference centre for arterial hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, recognised as a Centre of Excellence by the European Society of Hypertension.

A specialist in cardiology with a PhD in endocrine and metabolic sciences, he is president of the Marche section of the Società Italiana dell'Obesità and a member of the national executive board of the Società Italiana dell'Ipertensione Arteriosa. He is the author of about 200 scientific publications, in particular on hypertension, obesity and metabolic syndrome.
