How telehealth compound therapy works for Minnesota residents

Tides is a cash-pay telehealth practice. Every protocol is reviewed and prescribed by a licensed clinician before any compound is dispensed. Minnesota residents complete the entire process from home: intake online, labs at a local Quest or LabCorp, medication shipped to your address.

Intake. Structured medical intake covering goals, current medications, allergies, conditions, and recent labs.
Clinician review. Dr. Rachel Deutsch, DNP personally reviews every intake.
Required labs. Baseline panel drawn at any Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp in Minnesota.
Prescription + compounding. A 503A pharmacy compounds your protocol; it ships to your Minnesota address.
Refills with clinical touch. Routine refills auto-approve; every fourth refill routes back to the clinician for review.

Compounds available in Minnesota

The full Tides catalog is available to Minnesota patients. Every compound is prescription-only, compounded by a licensed 503A pharmacy, and dispensed under a clinical relationship, never sold as a "research chemical."

Minnesota-specific considerations

Minnesota-specific considerations for Tides patients:

The Twin Cities, Rochester, and surrounding metros have active adult populations where recovery, metabolic health, and longevity are common reasons to consider compound therapy. Tides serves Minnesota with the same clinical workflow used nationwide.

Shipping to Minnesota uses temperature-controlled packaging whenever a compound requires refrigeration, including the winter months. Once compounds arrive at your Minnesota address, refrigerate vials per the directions on your label.

Dr. Rachel Deutsch, DNP, personally reviews every Minnesota intake. The full Tides catalog is available to Minnesota residents. Required labs draw at any Quest or LabCorp location in the state.
