Getting Started
With LSJ Rejuvenate
Everything you need to know before and during your first weeks on the programme — from what to expect in week one, to setting meaningful goals, preparing for your consultations, and building the support system that will carry you through.
How to Use This Guide

Read the information, then complete the workbook exercises in your own words. Your answers are private and not stored on this website. Click "Save to Device" to download a copy of your answers, and "Load Answers" to pick up where you left off.
Bring your completed answers to your consultations — they will help your Nurse Consultant understand your goals, concerns, and progress, and make your appointments more productive.
✦ A Note Before You Begin
Starting a medicated weight loss programme is a significant and courageous step. Research consistently shows that combining clinical treatment with structured behavioural support produces substantially better long-term outcomes than either approach alone (NICE NG246, 2025). This guide is designed to help you get the most from every aspect of your programme — not just the medication.
At LSJ Rejuvenate, your programme is built on three pillars working together: clinical treatment (prescribed and monitored by your Nurse Consultant Prescriber), nutritional guidance (evidence-based eating strategies tailored to your treatment), and behavioural change support (the psychological tools to build habits that last long after your programme ends). This guide introduces all three and helps you prepare for each.
Clinical Treatment
Prescription medication managed safely by your Nurse Consultant Prescriber with regular monitoring and dose reviews.
Nutritional Guidance
Evidence-based eating strategies to maximise results, preserve muscle, and manage any side effects.
Behavioural Support
Psychological tools and workbook exercises to build the lasting habits that sustain your results for life.
What Success Looks Like
Success in a medicated weight loss programme is not just a number on the scale. Clinical trials show that patients using GLP-1 receptor agonists can achieve 10–20% body weight reduction over 12–18 months when combined with lifestyle changes. But success also means improved energy, better sleep, reduced joint pain, improved blood sugar control, and — perhaps most importantly — a changed relationship with food and your body.
Set your expectations around the full picture of health, not just weight alone.
