Starting GLP-1 treatment with HolaVida begins with a virtual consultation — and knowing what to expect can help you feel confident and make the most of that first conversation with your provider.

What Happens During a HolaVida Consultation

Your first consultation is a clinical evaluation, not a sales call. A licensed provider will review your medical intake, assess your eligibility, and answer your questions. If appropriate, they'll prescribe a personalized dosing plan and explain what to expect in the weeks ahead.

How to Prepare

Know Your Health History

Be ready to share current or past health conditions, any medications you're taking, previous weight loss attempts, and relevant family health history.

Know Your Goals

Think about what success looks like for you — not just a number on the scale, but how you want to feel and what habits you want to build.

Prepare Your Questions

Common questions: How quickly will I see results? What side effects should I watch for? How does dosing increase over time? What support is included in my plan?

What Comes After Your Consultation

If you're a good candidate, your provider will issue a prescription, explain your dosing plan, and connect you with coaching support. HolaVida follows up regularly to monitor progress. Begin at HolaVida.
