Upon attending the University of Texas Health Science Center at Dallas, he was awarded a medical degree in 1977 and completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1981. Dr. McWherter is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and holds memberships in the American College for Advancement in Medicine, the American Academy of Anti-Aging, and the Endocrine Society. In addition to being a diplomat of the American Board of Chelation Therapy and the Board of Oxidative Medicine, he also has served as chairman of the peer-review planning committee and speaker for the Integrative Medicine for Anti-Aging Conference and Exposition.

Dr. McWherter is Medical Director of the FEM Centre and Energy Health Centre Clinics in Colleyville and Fort Worth, Texas. He has helped thousands of women find optimal health and wellness through hormonal balancing. As an innovator in the fields of women’s health and anti-aging, Dr. McWherter’s approach to health care addresses the need for an increased awareness of using preventive measures to avoid diseases such as breast cancer. 

“Traditional medicine views the body as a combination of individual components that function independently of one another. Instead of treating the gastrointestinal system, the cardiovascular system, the immune system, the neurological system, and the hormonal system as separate entities,” he says, “I view them as one unified family. Everything in your body is interrelated. If you look at each function as an isolated system you end up treating only the symptoms of a disease, not the root problem.”

Dr. McWherter is on the forefront of natural hormonal replacement therapies as well as functional and nutritional medicine. He has developed a unique approach to the health issues facing the contemporary woman. Dr. McWherter’s “lifetime wellness” protocol stresses detoxification of the body, balancing the hormones, reinforcing the immune system, and adjusting the diet to provide the body with proper nutrition. His program allows women to experience the life-enhancing benefits of hormonal replacement safely while avoiding their number one fear, breast cancer.
