Medically-Supervised Health and Wellness Programs

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Hendersonville, we provide medically supervised health and wellness care centered on your individual clinical needs. As part of a personalized approach, our providers may evaluate prescription therapies such as compounded semaglutide when a licensed medical professional determines it may be clinically appropriate. Compounded medications are considered only when a practitioner determines that an FDA-approved medication is not appropriate for a patient’s specific medical needs and that a customized formulation may be suitable.

When appropriate, your provider may include a compounded semaglutide prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy as part of your individualized wellness plan. Each plan includes ongoing medical oversight and is designed to align with your health history, daily routines, and long-term wellness goals.

Why Improving Wellness Can Feel More Challenging Than Expected

Long-term health often requires consistent attention to nutrition, physical activity, sleep quality, and stress management. While these concepts are widely understood, maintaining them over time can be difficult. Many individuals experience variable responses to lifestyle changes, which may feel frustrating or discouraging.

For this reason, some people seek additional medical guidance as part of a comprehensive, individualized wellness strategy. Genesis Lifestyle Medicine offers education, structure, and clinical support to help guide you through your health journey.

Understanding Compounded Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a medication within the class known as GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists. It is designed to act on pathways associated with the GLP-1 hormone, which is naturally released in the gastrointestinal tract after eating. GLP-1 plays a role in insulin secretion and blood sugar regulation and also interacts with regions of the brain involved in appetite signaling.

A compounded form of semaglutide may be prescribed when a provider determines that an FDA-approved formulation is not medically appropriate for a patient’s individual clinical situation. Compounded medications are prescribed only when clinically necessary and are formulated to address specific patient considerations. Your provider will review your medical history, overall health, and wellness objectives before determining whether compounded semaglutide may be appropriate within your care plan.

Responses to semaglutide therapies vary among individuals. Treatment outcomes depend on multiple factors, including adherence to the prescribed plan and lifestyle considerations. Specific results cannot be guaranteed.

It is important to note that compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved, and the FDA has not reviewed these formulations for safety, effectiveness, or quality. Compounded medications may involve additional considerations compared to FDA-approved products, but in certain clinical circumstances, they may offer alternative formulation or dosing options when deemed appropriate by a prescribing provider.

How GLP-1 Medications Like Compounded Semaglutide Work?

GLP-1 medications act by mimicking the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone and interacting with receptors involved in appetite regulation, digestion, and glucose metabolism. By acting on these receptors, semaglutide may influence hunger signaling and sensations of fullness in some individuals, though responses can vary.

GLP-1 medications can also affect insulin and glucagon activity, which plays a role in blood sugar regulation. These metabolic effects differ between patients and represent only one component of a broader, medically supervised wellness plan. By acting on these metabolic pathways, semaglutide may influence appetite-related behaviors and metabolic processes in some patients as part of an individualized approach to health and wellness.
