Nutritional Counseling
The Four Essentials incorporates four nutritional “core” nutrients that are most often depleted in the Standard American Diet (SAD) — balanced amino acids, fatty acids, minerals and probiotic enzymes. Through metabolic testing, nutritional counseling, we are able to help you remove toxic foods from your diet, reduce tissue inflammation, balance your blood sugar levels, help you lose those extra pounds (and keep them off) and revitalize your bodily systems for your continued health and wellbeing.

She made the decision this was the type of medicine she wants to practice. Carter began at FEM Centre in August of 2019. She will work directly with Dr. McWherter to gain further understanding and provide excellent patient care. Because she is a Family Nurse Practitioner, she will see both women and men. She will perform general gyn services, pellets and will also see family practice type of issues. Carter will work four days a week and see patients in both Fort Worth and Colleyville.

Joseph F. McWherter, MD, is board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. McWherter received his undergraduate degrees in physics and mathematics in 1973 from the University of Texas at Austin. 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 Medical Director of the FEM Centre and Energy Health Centre offices 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 believes that a thorough approach to health care includes preventative measures. According to Dr. McWherter, "Traditional medicine views the body as a combination of individual components that function independently of one another. Instead of treating the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, immune, neurological, and hormonal systems as separate entities. 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."
Labor and Delivery
FEM Centre recommends that this test be performed annually on women ages 25-59 years of age. Why so young? HALO can be effective in younger women who are not yet having mammograms. Additionally, younger women with breast cancer can have worse outcomes and usually a more advanced stage of disease than older women, and a breast cancer diagnosis within two years of childbirth has a nearly 50% mortality rate.

Internal Medicine
Kristen Sorensen graduated from Ricks College in 1988 with an Associates Degree in Nursing. She then attended Brigham Young University and graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Nursing in 1989. After working for a number of years as a Registered Nurse, primarily in the areas of Internal Medicine, Women's Health and Home Health Care for the elderly, she pursued a Masters and Post Masters Degree in Nursing through the University of Phoenix. She has been working as a Nurse Practitioner since 1997. Kristen is from Utah. She is married with three children and enjoys being a mom and working in her yard. Kristen sees patients in the Colleyville and Fort Worth FEM Centre offices.

Endocrinologist

Hypothyroidism
Thyroid gland. The thyroid gland regulates the body’s energy production. It is estimated that 30 to 40 percent of women suffer with inadequate thyroid function. Symptoms of mild to moderate hypothyroidism include lack of energy, mental sluggishness, and many other symptoms attributed to pre and postmenopausal ovarian decline.

Ultrasound
At FEM Centre, pelvic structures such as the uterus and ovaries are thoroughly evaluated using vaginal sonograms. A routine ultrasound-enhanced pelvic exam permits visualization of the uterus, its lining, and the ovaries. Fibroids, abnormalities of the uterine lining, and ovarian tumors may be discovered earlier and dealt with in a timely fashion.
X-Rays
Mammography
Thermography can be done on women of any age as a screening test for early detection of changes in breast health. It is ideal for differentiation of fibrocystic disease from possible active tumors on women under 40 who have dense breast tissue. Thermal imaging may help detect the increased metabolic heat associated with the greater vascularity of suspicious growths,and can sense this "thermal signal" several years before a mass can be detected on by x-ray or mammography.

Hysterectomy
"The MonaLisa Touch is a game-changing, clinically-proven, therapeutic laser that can help millions of women who are suffering with problems of vaginal health due to menopause," said Dr. Mickey Karram, Director of Fellowship Program on Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery, The Christ Hospital, Cincinnati, OH, who lead the U.S. clinical trial. "After menopause, whether natural or induced by breast cancer treatments or a hysterectomy, estrogen levels decline. Many women experience changes to their vaginal health that impacts their quality of life. However, studies show that only 25% of women seek help from their doctors." 1
Laparoscopy
Gynecologic care at FEM Centre may help in early detection and treatment of physical problems. Surgical solutions may be required in order for you to experience total health and wellness. Laparoscopy and the uterine balloon are examples of innovative techniques that correct pelvic problems—allowing a rapid return to normal activities.
