Hormone Therapy at IVRS

Hormone therapy at IVRS Wellness Center is designed to support balance, energy, and overall wellness for men and women in Amarillo and Lubbock, Texas. Hormones play a vital role in how your body functions, influencing metabolism, mood, sleep, focus, and long-term vitality. When hormone levels shift due to age, stress, or lifestyle factors, you may experience physical and mental effects.

At IVRS, our hormone therapy services are provider-guided and personalized, focusing on identifying imbalances and developing individualized plans aligned with your wellness goals.

What Is Hormone Therapy?

Hormone therapy is a medically guided approach designed to support optimal hormone levels in the body. This may include bioidentical hormone therapy and other hormone optimization options tailored to individual needs.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, hormone therapy at IVRS Wellness Center begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Our providers consider symptoms, lab work, health history, and lifestyle factors to help determine an appropriate plan. This personalized approach allows hormone therapy to be aligned with your body and long-term wellness goals.

An Update About Hormone Care at IVRS

Dr. Jeffery Whelchel is transitioning away from routine, one-on-one patient appointments as he focuses on other work, including writing and teaching. However, he is not leaving IVRS.

Dr. Whelchel will continue serving as the Medical Supervisor for our hormone program, providing clinical oversight and guidance to ensure every patient continues to receive the same high standard of care. Erin Montgomery, FNP, will provide patients’ day-to-day care under his direction, ensuring that established treatment plans, protocols, and support remain consistent throughout the transition.

Dr. Whelchel will also be available for appointments one day each month through the end of 2026 for patients who would benefit from additional time with him.

Current patients will not need to start over or find a new clinic. Our team is committed to making this transition as smooth as possible and ensuring every patient continues to feel informed, supported, and well cared for.
