Before your evaluation

Here's how to get the most out of your 30 minutes with the doctor.

Your evaluation is a real medical conversation — the same one in-person patients get at the Tijuana clinic, on video. Five minutes of prep makes it twice as useful.

Medical consultation with Dr. Medina
Step one

Complete your intake form first

You'll receive the medical intake form by email (subject line: "Optima — complete your medical intake") right after booking. It takes about 5 minutes. Dr. Medina reads it before your call — patients who finish it get straight into the real conversation instead of spending their call on paperwork.

What the call looks like

Three parts, zero pressure

your story medical history plan ~10 min~15 min5–10 min
1

Your story (10 min)

"Tell me a story — what's going on with you?" is how the doctor opens every call. Your training, your eating, your sleep, what you've tried, what happened. Be blunt; he's heard everything.

2

Your medical history (15 min)

A structured run-through: conditions, medications, allergies, surgeries, family history. This is what clears you — legally and medically — for any treatment. Nothing is prescribed without it.

3

Your plan (5–10 min)

The doctor tells you what he'd recommend and why — including the honest "no" if you're not a fit. If you're cleared, program options and exact pricing arrive in writing right after the call. You decide from there.

Have these handy

Your 5-item checklist

Your current weight

This morning's number if you have it — the doctor sets your goal and timeline from it.

Medication list

Everything you take, including supplements and doses. Photos of the bottles work.

Recent labs (if any)

Blood work from the last year — Kaiser or any portal PDF is fine. None? No problem; the clinic can arrange labs.

Your questions

Side effects, muscle, "how long" — write them down. You have a full half hour with the doctor — write your questions down and use every minute of it.

A quiet spot + camera on

It's a medical visit — a parked car works, a grocery line doesn't.

Need to reschedule?

Life happens. Text +1 619-639-7382 and we'll move you to a better slot — no questions asked.

Common worries, answered before the call

The questions everyone's embarrassed to ask

Will he judge my weekend drinking / eating?

No. He'll ask about it because dose planning depends on it (alcohol hits harder on this medication). Honest answers get better plans.

Is this a sales call?

The doctor doesn't handle pricing at all — he's the medical side. If you're cleared, your program options and exact numbers arrive in writing right after the call, and the clinic walks you through them whenever you're ready. You decide; nobody rushes you.

What if I'm scared of needles?

Say so. Your kit comes pre-prepared, the needle is insulin-sized, and your first shot is done together with the doctor on video.

What if he says I'm not a candidate?

Then you'll know — with the reason, and usually with what to fix first (labs, thyroid, blood pressure). That answer is free too.
