Direct Answer
A GLP-1 consultation at a medically supervised clinic typically takes 30–45 minutes. Your provider reviews your health history, current medications, and weight history; calculates your BMI; discusses your goals; and orders baseline lab work. If you're a good candidate, you'll leave with a clear treatment plan and a start date — often within the same week.
What Happens at Your First GLP-1 Consultation
- 1
Health History Review
Your provider reviews your medical history, current medications, allergies, and any prior weight loss attempts. This identifies contraindications and informs the right starting dose.
- 2
BMI & Metabolic Assessment
Weight, height, and BMI are recorded. Blood pressure and heart rate are checked. Some clinics also measure body composition (body fat percentage vs. lean mass) to set a more precise goal.
- 3
Goal-Setting Conversation
Your provider discusses your weight loss goals, timeline expectations, and lifestyle factors — diet, activity level, stress, sleep. This shapes the program design and sets realistic expectations.
- 4
Lab Orders
Baseline labs are ordered — typically a CMP, TSH, HbA1c, fasting glucose, and lipid panel. At Rejuvenate & Wellness Center, results typically return within 24–48 hours.
- 5
Treatment Plan & Start Date
Once labs are reviewed, your provider confirms your starting dose, explains the titration schedule, and schedules your first follow-up. Most patients start within the same week as their consultation.
What Makes a Supervised Consultation Different From an Online Prescription
Online GLP-1 prescribers often use a short questionnaire and skip in-person evaluation, lab work, and ongoing monitoring. A supervised consultation at a clinic like Rejuvenate & Wellness Center includes a face-to-face provider visit, comprehensive labs, and a program designed around your specific health profile — not a generic protocol. This matters because underlying conditions like hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, or hormonal imbalances significantly affect GLP-1 outcomes and need to be identified before or alongside starting treatment.
What to Bring to Your First Appointment
Bring a list of your current medications and supplements, any recent lab results you have, your insurance card (if using insurance for labs), and a list of questions. If you've tried other weight loss programs before, a brief summary of what worked and what didn't is helpful context for your provider.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral for a GLP-1 consultation in Orlando?
No. Rejuvenate & Wellness Center accepts direct bookings — no referral from a primary care provider is needed. You can book online or call (321) 294-3586.
How long does the first consultation take?
Plan for 30–45 minutes for your first visit. Follow-up appointments are typically shorter — 15–20 minutes — and focus on progress, dose adjustments, and any questions.
Can I start GLP-1 therapy the same day as my consultation?
In some cases, yes — if labs are already available or a rapid panel is run on-site. More commonly, you'll start within 2–5 days after your provider reviews your baseline labs.
Is the consultation covered by insurance?
Provider visit costs vary by insurance plan. Rejuvenate & Wellness Center offers self-pay consultation options. Call (321) 294-3586 to discuss pricing before your visit.
