What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Feeling constantly drained, irritable, or unlike yourself could mean your hormones need attention. At Owen Health Group, we prescribe hormone replacement therapy for men and women to help restore the body's natural hormone levels that may drop or shift. Hormone fluctuations can affect every organ system, often resulting in decreased energy, mood, sleep, memory, and metabolism. When they fall out of balance, it can lead to uncomfortable symptoms that disrupt daily life. At Owen Health Group, we offer traditional as well as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). The BHRT plant-based hormones closely match the body's own chemistry. The variety of options we offer may involve pellet therapy, creams, injections, patches, or oral medications based on individual needs. Every plan is tailored with care and ongoing support. To get started, schedule a consultation at our practice in Lubbock, TX.
What Is the BHRT Treatment Process?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy works by restoring the body's natural hormone levels using compounds that closely match the hormones it produces. Hormone therapy for women replaces declining estrogen and progesterone levels and reduces hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and memory issues. Over time, women often notice more stable moods, improved sleep, and better sexual function. Hormone therapy for men restores testosterone levels that have dropped due to age or other factors. It can support lean muscle growth, improve energy, enhance libido, and increase focus. With regular monitoring, doses are adjusted to match how the body responds. Most patients begin to feel noticeable improvements within a few weeks with fuller results over a few months.
What Are the Signs I Need Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Many symptoms of hormone imbalance are common but often dismissed. Paying attention to these changes can help prevent long-term health issues. Common signs include:
- Persistent fatigue
- Difficulty sleeping
- Low sex drive
- Weight gain without a clear cause
- Brain fog or poor memory
- Mood swings or irritability
- Night sweats or hot flashes
- Hair thinning
- Decreased muscle mass or strength
Owen Health Group Reviews
Always a great experience. Fantastic group of professionals.
Everyone from reception, nurses and doctor were very pleasant and attended to every need. ALL questions were answered and so were prayers!!
I LOVE Dr.Jenn because she handles business quickly. Let's be real no woman enjoys having a Pap smear. But, she also takes time to listen to you at every visit, does not act like she knows your body better than you or how you should feel, and she acknowledges when you as a patient are willing to advocate for yourself.
Dr. Jennifer Owen is amazing. The amount of time and attention she gives her patients is by far the most I’ve ever seen. She’s so easy to talk to and I am so thankful she is my doctor!
Everyone has been so kind, thoughtful and positive. I am happy that I made the decision to go to Owen Health group after the retirement of the doctor I had been going to for 34 years! Thank you for making the transition so smooth and stress free!

Am I a Candidate for Hormone Replacement Therapy?
While hormone replacement therapy may not be right for everyone, there are certainly a large number of patients who can benefit from treatment. Generally speaking, you may be a good candidate for HRT or BHRT if you’re experiencing hormonal changes that affect your quality of life and are in good overall health otherwise. Ideal candidates for hormone replacement therapy are usually men and women with some of the symptoms listed above - as well as those without a history of certain cancers, blood clots, liver disease, or untreated thyroid disorders, as these conditions can make HRT less safe. During your consultation, our team will review your personal and family medical history, discuss any current health concerns, and determine which type of hormone therapy, if any, may be safest, most effective, and most appropriate for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to feel the effects of hormone replacement therapy?
Many patients begin to notice improvements in their symptoms within a few weeks of starting HRT, but it can take up to three months or longer for your body to fully adjust and experience the maximum benefits. The timeline for HRT results varies based on the type of therapy used and how your body responds to hormone balancing.
Can I switch between different types of HRT if one doesn’t work well for me?
If you’re not seeing the desired results or experiencing side effects with one form of HRT, our team can likely adjust your treatment plan or delivery mechanism. Options like pellets, creams, injections, patches, or oral medications can be tailored and changed to find what works best for your body and lifestyle.
Do bioidentical hormones have fewer side effects than traditional hormone therapy?
Bioidentical hormones are chemically similar to the hormones your body produces, which may help reduce certain side effects for some patients. However, both traditional and bioidentical hormones can be highly effective and offer a range of distinct benefits, so our team will review your health history and goals to determine whether HRT vs. BHRT may be most suitable for you.
