What's Available at Our New Olive Branch Clinic: A Complete Tour of Services, Treatments, and What to Expect

It has been exactly nine days since we unlocked the front door at 8900 College Street for the first time. The grand opening was March 3, and the team has been seeing patients steadily ever since. The waiting room chairs still have that new-fabric smell, the Styku 3D scanner is freshly calibrated, and the lab fridge is stocked. We are open, we are running real visits, and we wanted to give the community a complete walk-through of what is actually happening inside the building.

This is not a brochure. This is the clinical team telling you, in plain English, what we offer here in DeSoto County, who each service is designed for, what your first visit will look like, and how the schedule works. If you live in Olive Branch, Southaven, Hernando, Horn Lake, Memphis, Collierville, or anywhere else within driving distance, this post is for you. By the time you finish reading, you should know exactly which front desk to walk up to and exactly which provider to ask for when you call 662-584-6076.

The new clinic is in the College Station Shopping Center on College Street, right next door to Piggly Wiggly. If you are coming from Goodman Road, you turn south on College and we are on your right. There is parking directly in front of the suite. The building is single-story, ground floor, fully accessible, and the front entrance opens directly into our reception area. No long hallways, no confusing wayfinding. You park, you walk in, and you are at the front desk.

A Quick Walk Through the Building

Before we get into the services themselves, it helps to understand the physical layout, because a lot of what makes this clinic feel different from a typical primary care office is how the rooms flow together. The footprint was designed around how our visits actually happen, not the other way around.

The Front Desk

You walk in and immediately see our front desk. This is where you check in, drop off any paperwork, and meet the patient coordinator who will be your point of contact for scheduling, refills, and questions about your protocol. We deliberately staff the front desk with someone who knows our protocols, not just someone who answers phones. If you call 662-584-6076 and ask whether your dose changed at your last visit, the person on the other end can pull up your chart and tell you.

The waiting room itself is small and that is intentional. We schedule appointments at intervals that prevent stacking, so you should rarely see more than one or two other patients waiting. Coffee, water, and a quiet space to fill out the intake forms if you did not complete them online ahead of time.

The Consultation Room

Past the front desk, the first room on the right is the primary consultation room. This is where new patient visits happen, where follow-up reviews are conducted, and where we sit down to go over lab results. The room has two chairs facing a desk and a wall-mounted screen we use to share lab results, scan reports, and treatment plans. It is intentionally not set up like an exam room. You are not sitting on paper. You are having a conversation.

Most first visits in this room run thirty to forty-five minutes. We are asking about your full medical history, what brought you in, what you have already tried, what your goals are, and what you have read or heard about the treatment options. We are also explaining how our protocols work, what monitoring looks like, and what realistic timelines are.

The Lab Draw Room

Across the hall is our lab draw room. This is where the comprehensive lab work happens. Comfortable chair, dedicated phlebotomist, the standard supplies. We can draw a full hormone panel, comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, thyroid panel, food and allergy testing samples, and anything else your provider has ordered, all in one sitting. Samples are processed and shipped same day to the partner lab.

One of the practical reasons we built our own lab draw space is that the food and allergy testing panel we offer requires a specific blood collection protocol, and outsourcing it to a third-party lab introduced inconsistency. Doing it in-house means we control the timing from draw to ship, which directly affects the quality of the results.

The Scanner Room

Toward the back of the suite is the scanner room. The Styku 3D body composition scanner sits in the middle of the room on its rotating platform. There is a privacy curtain, a changing area, and a wall of body composition reference posters that explain what each metric on your scan report means. The scanner uses safe infrared light to map your body in three dimensions. There is no radiation, no needles, no compression, and the scan itself takes about thirty seconds.

We use this room a lot. Every TRT patient gets a baseline scan. Every weight loss patient gets a baseline scan. Every HRT patient is offered one. We rescan at follow-up visits so we can show you, in actual numerical terms, what is changing in your body composition. The scale lies. Body composition does not.

The Treatment Area

The treatment area is where injections, IV therapy, and supervised dosing happen. Three reclining chairs, dim lighting, a sound system playing whatever the patient wants. NAD infusions happen here. Glutathione pushes happen here. Vitamin D3 and Lip-B12 injections happen here, although those are quick enough that we often do them in the consultation room. The space was designed for comfort because some of these therapies, particularly NAD, take time and we want you to actually relax through the session.

That is the whole building. Front desk, consultation room, lab draw room, scanner room, treatment area, plus a small staff office and storage. Five clinical spaces, all on one floor, designed around the visit flow you are about to read about.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

Testosterone replacement therapy is one of the largest service lines we run, and it is one of the main reasons men in DeSoto County have been driving up to Memphis for years. Now they do not have to. We offer full TRT evaluation, initiation, and ongoing management here at the Olive Branch clinic.

What TRT Actually Is

Testosterone replacement therapy is exactly what it sounds like. If your body is no longer producing testosterone at levels that support normal physiological function, we replace it. The replacement comes in several forms, the most common being weekly intramuscular or subcutaneous injection of testosterone cypionate. We also offer testosterone enanthate, testosterone propionate for specific cases, and pellet therapy for patients who prefer a long-acting option. The choice depends on your labs, your lifestyle, your tolerance for self-injection, and the goals you and your provider set together.

Who TRT Is For

TRT is for adult men whose testosterone levels are clinically low and who are experiencing symptoms consistent with that deficiency. The symptoms that bring most men in include persistent fatigue that does not resolve with sleep, declining libido and erectile function, loss of muscle mass despite training, increasing body fat especially around the midsection, brain fog, irritability, low motivation, and sleep that no longer feels restorative. Many men come in describing it as feeling like they are running on a battery that just will not hold a charge anymore.

Not every man with these symptoms needs TRT. We do a comprehensive workup before we recommend treatment. Your testosterone levels need to be measured at the right time of day, on more than one occasion, and we evaluate the full hormonal picture including SHBG, estradiol, LH, FSH, prolactin, free testosterone, and DHT. We also run a comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, thyroid panel, PSA, and a CBC. Sometimes the answer is not TRT. Sometimes the answer is fixing your sleep, your thyroid, your lifestyle, or your weight, and the testosterone numbers normalize on their own.

How a TRT Visit Works at Olive Branch

The first visit is a sit-down consultation in the consultation room. We go through your history, your symptoms, your goals, what you have read, and what you have heard from friends or other clinics. Then you walk across the hall and the lab draw room handles your initial workup. If you are coming in fasted in the morning, we can draw everything in one sitting. If not, we schedule a fasted morning draw within the next few days.

Lab results come back in five to seven business days. We schedule a results review visit, again in the consultation room, where we go through every number on the report on the wall screen. We explain what each value means, where it sits relative to optimal range versus normal range, and what the pattern is telling us. If TRT is appropriate, we walk through dose, frequency, injection technique, monitoring schedule, and what to expect in week two, week six, and month three.

If you are starting injections, we do the first injection in the clinic so you can watch the technique and ask questions. Most patients self-inject at home after that, with reinforcement at follow-up visits. We follow up at six weeks with repeat labs to confirm the dose is dialed in, then every three to six months for ongoing monitoring. Pellet patients are seen on the pellet schedule, typically every three to four months for re-implantation.

Olive Branch Scheduling Notes

Our Olive Branch hours are Monday 9 to 5, Thursday 9 to 5, and Friday 8 to 2. We are closed Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday in-clinic, but we offer telehealth appointments those days, which works well for ongoing TRT patients who just need a check-in or a refill review and do not need labs or a scan that day. New TRT consultations should be scheduled in-clinic so we can do the full workup and the baseline body composition scan in the same visit.

Read our full TRT service page at /services/trt-olive-branch-ms for protocol details, pricing structure, and frequently asked questions specific to our Olive Branch men's hormone program.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women (HRT)

HRT for women is the other half of our hormone program. Women in perimenopause and menopause experience a hormonal cascade that is more complex than men's, and the standard medical response in too many clinics has been a shrug, a generic prescription, and a referral to an OB-GYN who is too busy to manage it. We do this differently, and we do it here.

What Female HRT Looks Like in Practice

Female hormone replacement therapy at Olive Branch involves bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, and in many cases low-dose testosterone. Yes, women need testosterone too, and the body's production drops significantly after the late thirties. We use bioidentical formulations, meaning the molecules are structurally identical to what your body produced naturally, and we deliver them in forms that match the patient: transdermal cream, oral, pellet, or injection depending on the protocol.

We do not use a one-size-fits-all dose. Every woman gets a comprehensive baseline panel, a thorough symptom inventory, and a protocol designed around her specific picture. Some women need primarily estrogen support. Others need progesterone first because their estrogen is fine but their progesterone has cratered. Some need testosterone added for energy, mood, libido, and lean mass preservation. The provider builds the protocol around what your labs and symptoms are actually showing.

Who Should Be Asking About HRT

HRT is for women experiencing the symptoms of perimenopause or menopause that are interfering with quality of life. That includes hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, mood swings, anxiety that came out of nowhere, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, declining libido, persistent fatigue, brain fog, joint aches that do not match any orthopedic finding, and stubborn weight gain especially around the midsection. It is also for women who have had their ovaries removed surgically and are dealing with sudden surgical menopause.

It is also for women in their late thirties and early forties who are still cycling but feel something has shifted. This is perimenopause and it can last for a decade. You do not have to wait until your periods stop to address it. In fact, treating earlier often produces a better long-term outcome.

How an HRT Visit Flows

The first visit looks structurally similar to TRT: consultation, full lab workup, results review, protocol initiation. The labs are different. We are looking at estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, total and free testosterone, DHEA-S, SHBG, thyroid, fasting insulin and glucose, lipids, vitamin D, and a few additional markers depending on history. We also discuss bone health, breast health screening, and cardiovascular risk in the context of HRT, because the conversation about risk versus benefit deserves more than five minutes.

Most women are started on a protocol that combines estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone, with follow-up labs at six to eight weeks to confirm levels and adjust. Long-term monitoring is every three to six months. Pellet patients come in on the pellet schedule. Cream patients self-administer daily and come in for follow-up review. We are flexible about delivery method because adherence is the most important variable, and the best protocol is the one you will actually follow.

Olive Branch HRT Scheduling

HRT consultations are available all three of our in-clinic days: Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Many of our HRT follow-ups happen via telehealth, which is convenient because once your protocol is dialed in, you may only need a labs-and-talk check-in twice a year. Lab draws can still happen in our lab room on any in-clinic day.

Full HRT details are at /services/hrt, including a breakdown of bioidentical versus synthetic, our approach to safety, and how we handle patients with personal or family history of hormone-sensitive conditions.

Medical Weight Loss with Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and the GLP-1 Stack

Medical weight loss is the service line that has grown fastest in the last two years, and it is one of the major reasons we opened Olive Branch in the first place. The demand in DeSoto County for legitimate, medically-supervised weight loss using GLP-1 medications has been enormous, and we wanted local patients to be able to walk in and access it without driving over the state line.

What the GLP-1 Class of Medications Actually Does

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are not magic and they are not a shortcut. They are members of a class of medications originally developed for type 2 diabetes that turned out to have profound effects on appetite regulation, satiety signaling, and metabolic function. They mimic GLP-1, a hormone your gut already produces, and in tirzepatide's case also GIP, a second incretin hormone. The result is that your hunger drops, your fullness signal kicks in earlier, your body handles glucose more efficiently, and over weeks the cumulative caloric deficit produces real, sustainable weight loss.

The clinical trial data on these medications is some of the most striking we have seen for any weight loss intervention. Patients on tirzepatide in the SURMOUNT trials lost an average of 20% or more of body weight over a year and change. Semaglutide trials showed similar results in the 15% range. These are numbers that approach what bariatric surgery achieves, without surgery.

Who the Program Is For

Medical weight loss with GLP-1 medications is for adults with a BMI in the overweight or obese range who have tried lifestyle approaches and need additional medical support to reach their goal. It is also for people with type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes whose metabolic numbers improve dramatically on these medications. It is for women whose hormonal weight gain has not responded to diet and exercise alone. It is for men whose midsection weight is interfering with their hormonal health and cardiovascular risk profile.

It is not for everyone. There are contraindications including personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2, active pancreatitis, and certain GI conditions. Your provider screens for all of this at the consult.

How the Weight Loss Visit Works at Olive Branch

The first visit is a consultation that includes a full medical history, a discussion of what you have already tried, and a frank conversation about what success looks like for you. We then do a baseline body composition scan in the scanner room. This is a key piece of why our weight loss program looks different. We are not just tracking pounds. We are tracking body fat percentage, fat mass, muscle mass, and segmental analysis. The goal of medical weight loss should be losing fat while preserving muscle, and the only way to know that is happening is to actually measure it.

We draw labs at the first visit including a comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, fasting insulin and glucose, HbA1c, thyroid panel, and a few additional markers. Lab results come back in five to seven days. Once we have your numbers and your scan, the provider builds your protocol. Most patients start on a low dose of semaglutide or tirzepatide and titrate up over weeks based on how you tolerate the medication and how the weight loss curve is responding.

Injections are weekly, self-administered at home with very thin subcutaneous needles. We teach the technique in the clinic during your first dose. Side effects are most common in the first month and the first week after each dose increase, and we coach you through those. Most are gastrointestinal and they typically resolve as your body adapts.

Follow-up visits happen monthly for the first three months, then every two to three months. We rescan body composition at three months, six months, and twelve months. We repeat labs every three to six months. We adjust the dose based on response, side effects, and progress. Once you reach your goal, we transition you to a maintenance protocol.

The GLP-1 Stack Approach

For patients who want to maximize results, we sometimes layer additional therapies onto the core GLP-1 medication. This may include peptides that support muscle preservation during weight loss, lipotropic injections like Lip-B12 to support fat metabolism, NAD therapy to support mitochondrial function during a caloric deficit, and a structured nutrition plan emphasizing protein intake to protect lean mass. Not every patient gets the stack. The decision is built around your goals, your budget, and your tolerance.

Olive Branch Weight Loss Scheduling

New weight loss consultations should be scheduled in-clinic on Monday, Thursday, or Friday. Follow-ups can be either in-clinic or telehealth. Body composition scans must be done in-clinic. Many of our patients schedule a quick in-and-out scan visit between their longer telehealth check-ins, which works well because the scan itself is only thirty seconds and the visit is typically fifteen minutes door-to-door.

Peptide Therapy

Peptide therapy is one of the more clinically interesting service lines we offer, and it is also one of the most misunderstood. There is a lot of noise on the internet about peptides, much of it from people who do not actually know what they are doing. We run a peptide program that is built on actual clinical evidence, supervised dosing, and protocols designed for specific outcomes, not a wish list.

What Peptides Are

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. Your body already makes thousands of them. They are not drugs in the traditional sense. They are messenger molecules that tell tissues to do specific things: regenerate, produce growth hormone, reduce inflammation, repair, restore. Therapeutic peptide use is about administering specific peptides at specific doses to produce specific effects.

Which Peptides We Offer

We offer several categories of peptides at Olive Branch, each with a clear clinical purpose. Growth hormone secretagogues like ipamorelin, CJC-1295, and tesamorelin are used for body composition, recovery, sleep quality, and supporting healthy aging. Healing peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 are used for tissue repair, gut health, and recovery from soft tissue injury. Cognitive peptides may support focus, memory, and mood. Sexual health peptides such as PT-141 may support libido and sexual function in both men and women. Anti-aging peptides like epitalon are used for cellular health and longevity-focused protocols.

Not every patient gets every peptide. The provider builds your protocol around your goals, your existing labs, and your other therapies. Peptide therapy often layers nicely with TRT, HRT, or weight loss programs because the peptides can support specific aspects of those broader protocols.

Who Peptide Therapy Is For

Peptide therapy is for patients who have specific goals that peptides can support. That might be a TRT patient who wants additional body composition leverage. It might be an HRT patient who wants better sleep and recovery. It might be a weight loss patient who wants to preserve more muscle through their cut. It might be a high-functioning adult who wants to support healthy aging and is not yet ready for or appropriate for full hormone replacement.

It is also for patients recovering from injury who want to support tissue healing, patients with chronic gut issues who have not responded to other approaches, and patients pursuing longevity-focused protocols under medical supervision.

How a Peptide Visit Works

Peptide consultations happen in the consultation room. We talk through your goals, your medical history, your current medications and supplements, and what you have already tried. We may order baseline labs depending on your goals. We then design a protocol with specific peptides, doses, and durations. Most peptide protocols run in cycles of eight to twelve weeks with monitoring, then a break, then a possible second cycle.

Most peptides are self-administered subcutaneously, similar to GLP-1 medications. We teach the injection technique in the clinic. Some peptides are delivered orally, transdermally, or as nasal sprays depending on the molecule. Follow-up visits happen at four to six weeks and again at the end of the cycle.

Olive Branch Peptide Scheduling

Peptide consultations and follow-ups are available all three in-clinic days. Telehealth follow-ups work well once a protocol is established. New patient peptide consultations should be in-clinic so we can do a thorough intake and any baseline labs in one visit.

Growth hormone secretagogue protocols (ipamorelin, CJC-1295, tesamorelin)
Healing and repair peptides (BPC-157, TB-500)
Sexual health peptides (PT-141)
Cognitive and mood-support peptides
Longevity peptides (epitalon and others)
Combination protocols layered with TRT, HRT, or weight loss

NAD+ Therapy

NAD+ therapy has become one of the cornerstones of our wellness offering, and the treatment area at Olive Branch was designed in large part with NAD infusions in mind. The recliners, the dim lighting, the sound system: that whole space exists because a NAD infusion is something you sit through, not something you rush through.

What NAD+ Is

NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, and it is one of the most important molecules in your cells. Every cell in your body uses NAD+ to convert food into energy, to repair DNA, to regulate metabolic function, and to keep mitochondria healthy. NAD+ levels decline with age. By the time you are in your fifties, your cellular NAD+ levels are a fraction of what they were in your twenties. Many of the symptoms we associate with aging, including fatigue, slower recovery, brain fog, declining metabolic function, and reduced exercise tolerance, are at least partially driven by this NAD+ decline.

NAD+ therapy delivers NAD+ directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive limitations that prevent oral NAD+ supplements from being highly effective. The most common delivery method is intravenous infusion. We also offer subcutaneous NAD+ injections for patients who want a less time-intensive option.

What People Use NAD+ For

NAD+ therapy is used for several purposes at our clinic. Patients pursuing healthy aging and longevity protocols use it to support mitochondrial function and cellular repair. Patients dealing with chronic fatigue use it to address the energy production layer of that fatigue. Patients in recovery from substance use sometimes use it as part of a broader recovery protocol because of its effect on neurotransmitter and dopamine pathways. Athletes use it for recovery and endurance. Patients with neurodegenerative concerns use it as a piece of a broader brain health protocol.

How an NAD+ Visit Works

NAD+ infusions are typically slow drip infusions that run anywhere from one and a half to four hours depending on dose and tolerance. We start slow because NAD+ infused too quickly causes uncomfortable side effects including chest pressure, jaw tightness, and a flushing sensation. Slow drips are well-tolerated. You sit in a recliner in the treatment area, the IV is placed, and you watch a movie, read a book, take a nap, or work on your laptop while it runs.

Most protocols start with a loading phase of multiple sessions over two to three weeks, then transition to maintenance sessions weekly, every other week, or monthly depending on your goals. Many patients combine NAD+ infusions with other IV therapies on the same visit, including glutathione, vitamin C, or B-complex.

NAD+ at Olive Branch Specifically

NAD+ infusions take time, so we schedule them carefully. The treatment area has three chairs, which means we can run three infusions concurrently, but we generally limit ourselves to two at a time so the staff can monitor each patient closely. Infusions are scheduled on in-clinic days, typically with start times in the morning so we have time to complete the drip during clinic hours.

If you are considering NAD+ therapy, we recommend an initial consultation either in-clinic or via telehealth to discuss your goals, screen for contraindications, and design the right protocol. The first infusion is always in-clinic.

IV NAD+ infusions for full systemic delivery
Subcutaneous NAD+ injections for shorter visits or maintenance
Loading protocols for accelerated cellular repletion
Maintenance protocols for ongoing healthy aging support
Combination IV protocols (NAD+ with glutathione, vitamin C, B-complex)

Food & Allergy Testing — The 352-Marker Panel

Food and allergy testing is one of the most clinically valuable services we offer, and it is also one of the most underutilized in primary care medicine. The standard food allergy testing that you get from a typical allergist is mostly IgE-based and it captures only one immune pathway. The reality is that food reactions are mediated through multiple immune mechanisms, and the panel we use here at Olive Branch captures all four of the most relevant ones.

What the Panel Tests

Our comprehensive food and allergy panel tests 88 different foods across four immune pathways: IgE, IgG, IgG4, and C3d. That is 88 foods times 4 markers, which equals 352 distinct data points on a single blood draw. Each pathway tells us something different about how your immune system is interacting with that food.

IgE captures classic immediate-onset food allergies, the type that produce hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. IgG captures delayed-onset reactions that often present hours or days after eating the food, things like brain fog, joint pain, headache, fatigue, gut symptoms, and skin issues. IgG4 captures another delayed pathway that has been linked to chronic inflammation. C3d is a complement protein that signals when the immune system is actively engaging with a food, making it one of the more sensitive markers for active food sensitivity rather than just exposure.

Looking at all four together gives you a much more complete picture than any single marker would. A food might show low IgE but high IgG and elevated C3d, which tells us your body is having a delayed inflammatory response even though you do not have a classic allergy. That is the kind of finding that changes someone's life when they have been struggling with unexplained symptoms for years.

Who Should Get Tested

Food and allergy testing is for patients with unexplained symptoms that may have a dietary component. That includes chronic fatigue that does not match labs, digestive issues that have not responded to standard GI workups, brain fog, recurrent headaches or migraines, joint pain without a clear orthopedic cause, skin issues including eczema and chronic rashes, mood symptoms that flare around specific meals, autoimmune conditions, and weight that will not move despite reasonable diet and exercise.

It is also for patients who have already been diagnosed with celiac disease, IBS, or other GI conditions and want a more comprehensive picture of what specific foods are driving their symptoms. And it is for patients with autoimmune conditions who are pursuing root-cause work and want to identify dietary triggers.

How the Test Visit Works

The test itself is a single in-clinic blood draw in our lab room. No fasting required. No special prep. The blood goes to the partner lab and processes through all 352 markers. Results come back in approximately two to three weeks. We schedule a results review visit when the report is ready.

The results review is one of the longer appointments we run, typically forty-five minutes to an hour, because the report is comprehensive and we walk through it section by section. We talk about which foods showed reactivity, what immune pathway is involved, what that means clinically, and how to use the information. We then build a personalized elimination and reintroduction protocol that uses the data to guide your dietary choices over the following weeks.

The Pricing

The all-in price for the food and allergy panel is $449. That includes the lab work, the analysis, and the provider review visit where we go through the results and build your protocol. There are no hidden fees. The panel is HSA and FSA eligible, and we provide all the documentation you need to submit it for reimbursement.

Olive Branch Scheduling for Allergy Testing

Blood draws happen on any in-clinic day. The results review visit can be in-clinic or telehealth depending on your preference, although many patients prefer in-clinic for this one because of the depth of the conversation and the opportunity to look at the report on the wall screen together.

Body Composition Analysis with the Styku 3D Scanner

Body composition analysis is the connective tissue across many of our services. Whether you are on TRT and tracking lean mass gains, on a weight loss program and tracking fat loss while preserving muscle, on HRT and tracking changes in body composition that come with hormonal optimization, or simply trying to understand your starting point, the Styku 3D scanner is how we measure it.

What the Scanner Does

The Styku scanner uses safe infrared light to map your body in three dimensions. You stand on a slowly rotating platform for about thirty seconds while the system captures hundreds of cross-sectional measurements. The result is a complete three-dimensional avatar of your body, plus a detailed report that breaks down your body composition into clinically relevant metrics.

There is no radiation. There are no needles. There is no compression. You stand in form-fitting clothing on a small platform and you wait thirty seconds. That is the scan.

What the Report Tells You

The scan report includes body fat percentage, fat mass in pounds, lean mass in pounds, bone mass estimate, and segmental analysis that breaks down each region of your body. We can see whether your fat is concentrated in your trunk, your legs, your arms, or distributed evenly. We can see whether your right arm and left arm are carrying similar muscle mass or whether there is asymmetry. We can see how your waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio compare to baseline and to clinical risk thresholds. The report also includes posture analysis and the three-dimensional avatar that you can view from any angle.

Why We Built the Clinic Around This

The scale lies. Two patients can lose ten pounds and have completely different stories. One lost mostly fat and gained some muscle. The other lost mostly muscle and very little fat. Both saw the same number on the scale. Only one is moving in the right direction.

If you are on TRT, the question is not whether you are getting bigger overall. The question is whether you are gaining lean mass. If you are on a GLP-1 weight loss protocol, the question is not just total pounds lost. The question is whether you preserved muscle while losing fat. If you are on HRT, the question is whether the hormonal optimization is improving your body composition trajectory. None of these questions can be answered by a scale. All of them can be answered by serial body composition scans.

How the Scan Visit Works

Scans take about ten to fifteen minutes total when you include changing, briefing, the scan itself, and a quick review of the report. We typically scan at baseline, at three months, at six months, and at twelve months for most service lines, with additional scans available on request. Scans are stored in your chart so you can see the trajectory over time and compare any two scans side by side.

Olive Branch Body Composition Scheduling

The scanner is available all three in-clinic days. Scans can be scheduled as standalone visits or stacked with another visit type. Many patients pair their scan with their lab draw, particularly at three-month and six-month follow-up visits, so they can do everything in a single trip.

Wellness Injections: Lip-B12, Glutathione, and Vitamin D3

Wellness injections are the quick-hit category at our clinic. These are the visits that take fifteen minutes door-to-door and deliver targeted nutrient or compound therapy directly into the body where it can be used most effectively. We use them as standalone visits, as add-ons to other appointments, and as part of layered protocols.

Lip-B12 (Lipotropic B12)

Lip-B12 is a combination injection that delivers methylcobalamin or hydroxocobalamin (B12) along with a blend of lipotropic compounds, typically methionine, inositol, and choline, sometimes with L-carnitine and other co-factors. The lipotropic compounds support fat metabolism, liver function, and the body's ability to mobilize stored fat for energy. The B12 supports energy production, neurological function, red blood cell formation, and methylation pathways.

Lip-B12 is most often used in two contexts. First, as a layered therapy alongside our medical weight loss program, where it supports fat metabolism and energy levels during a caloric deficit. Second, as a standalone wellness injection for patients who want energy support, B12 repletion, or general metabolic support. Many patients schedule Lip-B12 weekly or every two weeks.

Glutathione

Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant. It is produced naturally in every cell and it neutralizes free radicals, supports liver detoxification, supports immune function, and recycles other antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E. Glutathione levels decline with age, with chronic illness, with toxic exposure, and with high oxidative stress states.

We offer glutathione as both an intravenous push and a subcutaneous injection. The IV push delivers a higher dose more quickly and is the preferred delivery for most patients. Glutathione is used for general antioxidant support, skin health, immune support, liver detoxification protocols, and as a layered therapy alongside NAD+ infusions and other wellness therapies.

Glutathione details at /services/glutathione.

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 deficiency is one of the most common deficiencies we see in our patient population, despite the fact that we live in the sunny South. Most adults in the United States do not get enough sun exposure or dietary vitamin D to maintain optimal blood levels. Low vitamin D is associated with fatigue, bone weakness, immune dysfunction, mood symptoms, hormonal dysregulation, and increased cardiovascular risk.

For patients with documented deficiency, we offer high-dose vitamin D3 injection, which produces a sustained increase in blood levels that oral supplementation cannot match. Many patients prefer the injection because it eliminates the need to remember a daily oral dose, and the blood level rise is more predictable.

Wellness injections can be scheduled as standalone visits, typically taking ten to fifteen minutes, or as add-ons to existing appointments. Many patients schedule a recurring wellness injection visit every one to four weeks depending on the protocol. We can stack multiple wellness injections in a single visit if your provider has approved it.

Lip-B12 (lipotropic B12) for energy and metabolic support
Glutathione (IV push or subcutaneous) for antioxidant and detox support
Vitamin D3 high-dose injection for documented deficiency
Stack-friendly: multiple injections in a single visit when clinically appropriate
Add-on capability: pair with TRT injection visits, weight loss check-ins, or scan visits

Comprehensive Lab Panels

Comprehensive lab work is the foundation under almost everything else we do. Whether you are coming in for TRT, HRT, weight loss, peptide therapy, NAD+, or just an annual deep-dive on your overall health picture, we run a panel that goes well beyond what most primary care offices order.

What a Standard Comprehensive Panel Includes

Our standard comprehensive panel covers a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel including liver and kidney function, lipid panel, full thyroid panel including TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies, fasting glucose and insulin, HbA1c, vitamin D, B12, ferritin, magnesium, hs-CRP for inflammation, homocysteine, uric acid, and a hormone panel appropriate to your sex and age that may include total and free testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, DHEA-S, SHBG, LH, FSH, prolactin, and DHT.

For specific patient pictures, we add markers like fasting C-peptide, advanced lipid analysis, hormone metabolites, additional thyroid markers, comprehensive iron studies, autoimmune panels, food sensitivity panels, and others. The provider tailors the panel to what we are actually trying to learn from your blood, which is more useful than a one-size-fits-all approach.

How a Lab Visit Works

Lab draws happen in our lab room. Most comprehensive panels are done fasted, so we typically schedule them in the morning. The draw itself takes about ten to fifteen minutes. Samples are processed and shipped same day. Results come back in five to seven business days for most markers, with some specialty panels taking up to two to three weeks. Results review visits happen in the consultation room, where we go through the report on the wall screen together.

What the Results Conversation Looks Like

This is where our approach probably differs the most from a typical primary care visit. We do not just say "your labs are normal" and send you on your way. We talk about what each value means, where it sits relative to optimal range versus the lab's reference range, what the patterns are telling us, and what we want to address. Optimal range is not the same as normal range. A testosterone level of 350 ng/dL is technically normal for an adult male. It is not optimal for most adult males who are symptomatic. Your provider explains where you sit on that spectrum and what we can or should do about it.

Olive Branch Lab Scheduling

Lab draws are available on all three in-clinic days. Morning fasted draws are most common. Same-day draws are sometimes possible if scheduling allows. Results review visits can be either in-clinic or telehealth, although first-time results reviews are usually richer in-clinic.

How Visits Flow at Olive Branch

If you have read this far, you have already seen pieces of the visit flow scattered throughout each service section. Let us pull it together into one clean picture, because the consistency across services is part of what makes the clinic feel coherent.

Step 1: The Initial Consultation

Every new patient relationship starts with a consultation. This is a thirty to forty-five minute sit-down in the consultation room. We are gathering your medical history, your goals, your symptoms, and what you have already tried. We are explaining what our protocols look like and what realistic outcomes are. There is no pressure to start treatment that day. The consultation is the right amount of time to make a good decision together.

Step 2: Baseline Labs

Most service lines require comprehensive baseline labs before treatment can be initiated. This is a separate visit, or sometimes a tag-on to the consultation if you came in fasted in the morning. Lab draw happens in our lab room. Samples ship same day.

Step 3: Baseline Body Composition Scan

For TRT, weight loss, HRT, and peptide patients, we typically run a baseline body composition scan. This is a quick scanner room visit, often combined with the lab draw. Thirty seconds on the platform. A few minutes to review the report.

Step 4: Results Review and Protocol Initiation

Once labs come back, we schedule a results review visit. We go through your numbers on the wall screen, explain what they mean, and discuss the protocol the provider is recommending. If you decide to proceed, we initiate treatment that visit, including teaching injection technique if applicable.

Step 5: Follow-up and Monitoring

Follow-up cadence depends on the service. TRT and weight loss patients typically come back at six weeks for repeat labs and a check-in. HRT patients are similar. NAD+ infusion patients come back on the infusion schedule. Wellness injection patients come back on whatever recurring cadence makes sense. Long-term, most patients are seen every three to six months for ongoing monitoring, with labs and scans repeated at clinically meaningful intervals.

Step 6: Maintenance

Once you are dialed in and stable, the visit cadence relaxes. Many of our long-term patients come in twice a year for a labs-and-talk and a scan, with telehealth check-ins in between if anything comes up.

The Telehealth Plus In-Clinic Hybrid Model

One of the deliberate choices we made when designing the Olive Branch clinic was to build a hybrid model where in-clinic and telehealth visits coexist seamlessly. Not every visit needs to happen in the building. And not every visit can happen via screen. The right model is one that uses each modality for what it does best.

What Belongs In-Clinic

New patient consultations should happen in-clinic when possible. The first conversation is richer in person, and it is also when we are most likely to catch nuance in your story that informs the protocol. Lab draws have to happen in-clinic, obviously. Body composition scans have to happen in-clinic. NAD+ infusions and IV therapies have to happen in-clinic. First-time injection teaching belongs in-clinic. Pellet implantations belong in-clinic. Anything procedural belongs in-clinic.

What Works Well via Telehealth

Routine follow-ups for established patients work great via telehealth. Refill reviews. Dose adjustment conversations. Symptom check-ins. Results review for patients who have already been through the explanation once and just want to confirm what changed. Pre-visit consultations to discuss whether a service might be a fit. Telehealth is also a great fit for patients who live further out, including patients in Memphis, Collierville, Bartlett, Germantown, Hernando, and other parts of the metro who do not want to drive to Olive Branch every six weeks.

How Hybrid Scheduling Works

We typically alternate. A new patient might come in-clinic for the consultation, in-clinic for labs and scan, in-clinic for the results review and protocol start, then telehealth for the six-week check-in, in-clinic for the three-month repeat labs and scan, and telehealth again for the six-month follow-up. The cadence is flexible and we adjust based on what your protocol needs and what works for your schedule.

Telehealth visits happen Monday through Friday during the week, including on the days the clinic itself is closed. So if you are an established patient who needs a quick check-in on a Tuesday or Wednesday, we can probably get you on a telehealth slot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is every service offered at Olive Branch right now, or are some still rolling out?

Every service described in this post is live at Olive Branch as of the grand opening on March 3. TRT, HRT, medical weight loss with semaglutide and tirzepatide, peptide therapy, NAD+ infusions and injections, food and allergy testing, body composition scanning, wellness injections, and comprehensive lab panels are all available now. We are not in a soft launch. We are open and seeing patients across every service line.

Do you have evening hours?

Not at this time. Our current in-clinic hours are Monday 9 to 5, Thursday 9 to 5, and Friday 8 to 2. We hear the request for evening hours, particularly from patients with full-time jobs, and we are evaluating expansion as we settle into the operational rhythm of the new location. Friday morning hours starting at 8 were specifically designed for patients who want to come in before work. Telehealth visits are also available on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon, which can sometimes work for patients with traditional work schedules.

Can I get my labs drawn at this clinic?

Yes. We have a dedicated lab draw room and a phlebotomist on every in-clinic day. You can have a comprehensive panel, hormone panel, food and allergy testing, and almost any other lab work drawn here. Samples ship same-day to our partner lab. Results return in five to seven business days for most panels, with specialty panels taking longer.

Can I do telehealth visits if I live in Memphis or somewhere else outside DeSoto County?

Yes, as long as you are physically located in Mississippi at the time of the visit, we can see you via telehealth. We see patients regularly across the Memphis metro who drive in for in-person needs like labs and scans, and use telehealth for everything in between.

Where exactly is the clinic and where do I park?

We are at 8900 College Street, Olive Branch, MS 38654, in the College Station Shopping Center, directly next door to Piggly Wiggly. From Goodman Road, turn south on College Street, and we are on your right. Parking is in the shopping center lot directly in front of the suite.

How quickly can I get a first appointment?

We have been keeping new patient consultation slots available three to seven days out for the first month of operation. Call 662-584-6076 or book online at /book to find the soonest slot. As the schedule fills, the wait may extend, but we are actively scaling staffing to keep new patient access reasonable.

Do you take insurance?

Most of our service lines are cash-pay, including TRT, HRT, weight loss with GLP-1 medications, peptide therapy, NAD+, and wellness injections. We do this because cash-pay protocols allow us to run the comprehensive workups and personalized protocols that the services actually require, without insurance restrictions on lab orders, dosing, or visit duration. Many patients use HSA or FSA dollars to pay, and we provide all the documentation needed for HSA/FSA reimbursement and superbills if your insurance offers any out-of-network reimbursement.

Is the food and allergy panel really $449 all-in, with no hidden fees?

Yes. The $449 covers the lab work for all 352 markers, the analysis, and the provider review visit where we walk through your results and build your elimination and reintroduction protocol. There are no separate facility fees, no separate review visit fees, and no draw fees. HSA/FSA documentation is included.

Do I have to be a current patient to schedule a body composition scan?

No. We offer standalone body composition scans for anyone who wants one, including patients who are not yet enrolled in any of our other service lines. Many people use them as a baseline before starting a fitness program, before pursuing weight loss, or just to understand their starting point. We also offer scan packages for patients who want serial scans over six or twelve months.

What if I am already on TRT, HRT, or a GLP-1 medication from another clinic and just want to transfer care?

That is a common scenario, especially with the new clinic opening. Bring your most recent labs, your current prescription, and any prior records. We schedule a transfer-of-care consultation, review your current protocol, decide whether to continue what you are on or recommend adjustments, and run any baseline labs we need to fill in gaps. Most transfer patients are continued without interruption in their treatment timeline.

How to Book Your Visit

Two ways to get on the schedule. The faster way for new patients is to call 662-584-6076 during clinic hours and talk to our front desk directly. They can answer questions about service lines, walk you through which consultation type fits your situation, and find the soonest available slot. The other way is to book online at /book, where you can pick a service, pick a provider, and pick a date and time without going back and forth on the phone.
