Initial Medical Consultation Q & A

What is an initial medical consultation?

An initial medical consultation at MetFit-Rx offers a chance for the weight loss team to get to know you and create a customized weight management program. They help you move toward your ideal weight while minimizing the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.

The experts at MetFit-Rx provide evidence-based, comprehensive medically supervised weight loss to ensure long-lasting, sustainable results.

What does an initial medical consultation include?

An initial medical consultation at MetFit-Rx begins with a review of your health goals. The team weighs you, evaluates your body mass index (BMI), and reviews your medical history.

They check your blood pressure and other vital signs, evaluate your body composition (lean vs. fat mass), and complete VO2 max testing to determine which exercise and nutrition plan is the most appropriate for your needs.

Lab work and metabolic evaluations determine if you have a chronic disease, risk factors like high blood sugar or high cholesterol, or nutritional deficiencies. MetFit-Rx also offers eligibility screening to learn if you’re a candidate for weight loss medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide injections.

Your weight loss specialist works with you to customize a plan that helps you gradually move toward your ideal weight. They tailor it around your goals, lifestyle, food preferences, and health history.

What can I expect after my initial medical consultation?

Your weight loss expert develops a personalized weight management plan that often integrates lifestyle support with clinical treatments. If you’re a candidate for weight loss injections, your specialist shows you how to use them.

MetFit-Rx utilizes GLP-1 microdosing for safety and side-effect management to minimize nausea, constipation, or other possible side effects.
