Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 with a weight-related condition. Brentwood is among Tennessee's most affluent communities, home to healthcare executives, music-industry leaders and corporate professionals for whom time and discretion are non-negotiable. Telehealth delivers care on those terms: a licensed Tennessee physician reviews your online assessment under Tennessee Telemedicine Practice Act (T.C.A. §63-1-155), and compounded semaglutide from an FDA-registered 503B pharmacy ships discreetly to your Memphis home. Monthly cost runs $199–$379 versus about $1,247 for brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy. Medical Director: Dr. Katherine Moore, MD, Board-Certified Internal Medicine.

The Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners (tn.gov/health/health-program-areas/health-regulation/boards/meb) requires telehealth clinicians serving Memphis to maintain Tennessee licensure, document each encounter and obtain informed consent.

No. Tennessee Telemedicine Practice Act (T.C.A. §63-1-155) permits prescribing without a prior face-to-face relationship for patients across Memphis and Tennessee.

Brand-name GLP-1 drugs average about $1,247/month at Memphis pharmacies. Compounded semaglutide via telehealth, made under 503B standards, typically runs $199–$379/month including the prescription - and even at the highest tier, it spares the time a clinic visit would cost.
Coverage varies. Many plans require prior authorization or exclude weight-loss drugs, and Medicare excludes Wegovy. For Memphis professionals who prefer not to involve insurance, paying cash for compounded semaglutide at $199–$379/month is simpler, faster and more private.
Brentwood professionals frequently choose cash-pay compounded semaglutide through telehealth - for privacy and speed as much as price. At $199–$379/month against roughly $1,247/month retail for branded versions, it keeps treatment off the insurance record and on your timeline.
In-person clinics serving Memphis generally charge 150 to 300 dollars per visit plus medication. A telehealth program at $199–$379/month cuts travel and per-visit cost, with compounded Semaglutide shipped discreetly from a 503B pharmacy to your door.
Semaglutide copies GLP-1, a hormone the gut releases after eating. It prompts insulin when glucose is high, lowers glucagon, slows stomach emptying so fullness lasts, and reduces appetite signals in the brain. The result is steady weight loss - a clinical edge against the dinners, travel and stress of executive life.
Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) is a single-pathway GLP-1 agonist approved for weight management in 2021. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) also activates GIP and produced greater average loss - about 22.5 percent in SURMOUNT-1 versus 14.9 percent for semaglutide in STEP-1. Both are available to Memphis patients by telehealth.
The branded products hold FDA approval: Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg weekly) since June 2021 for a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 with a related condition, and Ozempic for type 2 diabetes. Compounded semaglutide is prepared under Section 503B of the FD&C Act by registered facilities.
In STEP-1 (NEJM, 2021), adults on semaglutide 2.4 mg weekly lost an average of 14.9 percent of body weight over 68 weeks versus 2.4 percent on placebo. STEP-4 showed stopping led to regain - which is why Memphis clinicians frame it as sustained, managed treatment rather than a brief course.
Under FDA labeling, treatment suits adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher when accompanied by a condition like hypertension, type 2 diabetes or dyslipidemia. Telehealth clinicians serving Memphis apply these same thresholds, verified through your assessment and reported history.
Most providers serving Memphis require a BMI of 27 or higher with a related condition, or 30 or higher on its own. Self-reported measurements are accepted for screening; the reviewing physician may request confirmation before prescribing.
The side effects seen most often in trials - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and abdominal discomfort - tend to surface during dose escalation and settle as the body adapts. Serious problems like pancreatitis or gallbladder disease are rare. Your prescriber reviews all contraindications, including any family or personal history of medullary thyroid cancer, beforehand.
Typical pre-treatment labs include a metabolic panel, complete blood count, HbA1c, lipid panel and TSH. Many providers accept recent results from your primary care physician or concierge practice. Memphis patients can complete any missing work at nearby Quest or LabCorp draw sites.
Two-year continuous-use findings from the SUSTAIN and STEP extension programs point to a stable safety profile. The 2023 SELECT trial additionally recorded a 20 percent reduction in major cardiovascular events in adults with overweight or obesity and heart disease - support for treatment that continues beyond initial weight loss.
Yes. Semaglutide, marketed as Ozempic, is FDA-approved for blood-sugar management in type 2 diabetes and is routinely prescribed by telehealth clinicians serving Memphis. For patients with both diabetes and obesity it addresses each. Disclose all current medications in your assessment so the physician can check for interactions.

Tennessee has an uninsured rate of 9.8%, and even well-insured Memphis professionals face plan exclusions for weight-loss drugs. For those who prefer to pay privately, a cash-pay telehealth semaglutide program at $199–$379/month is a discreet alternative to clinic-based care.
In Memphis the appeal is privacy and white-glove convenience: no clinic where you might be recognized, no waiting room, care delivered to the door, predictable $199–$379/month pricing, and no prior-auth delay. For executives accustomed to concierge service, weight-loss care that comes to them - discreetly - is the obvious standard.
A GLP-1 receptor agonist is a lab-made medicine that reproduces glucagon-like peptide-1, the gut hormone released after meals to regulate hunger and blood sugar. Developed first for type 2 diabetes, it is now used at higher doses for weight management. Telehealth has broadened access to this class for Memphis residents since 2022.
Semaglutide is the molecule; Ozempic and Wegovy are Novo Nordisk's brand names for it - Ozempic at diabetes dosing (0.5 to 2 mg weekly), Wegovy at weight-loss dosing (2.4 mg weekly). Through licensed TN telehealth, compounded semaglutide offers the same active ingredient at a lower cost.
Although the compounded form of semaglutide is not FDA-approved, FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facilities are legally authorized to prepare it under Section 503B of the FD&C Act. Federal shortage-related guidance followed in 2024 and 2025. A TN-licensed physician may prescribe it to Memphis patients when clinically appropriate.
The standard ramp is 0.25 mg weekly for four weeks, then 0.5, 1.0, 1.7 and finally 2.4 mg weekly, about four weeks per step. Memphis patients with stronger GI effects can titrate more slowly - a measured build that keeps a demanding travel and meeting schedule undisturbed.
On semaglutide 2.4 mg weekly, STEP-1 participants shed an average of 14.9 percent of body weight across 68 weeks. Among Memphis patients who complete the full titration, real-world outcomes commonly range from 8 to 20 percent, influenced by adherence, diet and baseline weight.
