What is the MedGlo Medical Weight Loss Program?

At MedGlo, our medical weight loss in Mission Viejo is designed to help patients across Orange County reach and maintain a healthy weight, safely, effectively, and sustainably. Led by board-certified physician Dr. Violeta Recalde, the program combines personalized nutrition guidance, lifestyle coaching, and GLP-1 prescription medications when clinically appropriate.

GLP-1 medications work by regulating appetite and blood sugar, helping patients achieve significant, sustained weight loss over several months. Unlike fad diets or supplements, this is a medically supervised program with real lab monitoring, physician oversight, and a plan tailored specifically to you.

Dr. Recalde will start with labs to make sure everything is tailored to your individual health profile before beginning any protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I am a good candidate? +
Suitable for BMI over 30, or BMI over 25 with related conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol). Consultation required to confirm.
What is the difference between GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP? +
GLP-1 medications (semaglutide) target one hormone pathway. GLP-1/GIP medications (tirzepatide) target two, for enhanced metabolic effects in some patients. Dr. Recalde recommends based on your health profile.
How much does the program cost? +
GLP-1: $450/month. GLP-1/GIP: $550/month. Both include physician oversight. Labs ordered separately. Financing available through Cherry.
When will I see results? +
Most patients see positive changes within 4–8 weeks, with more significant weight loss over several months.
Are there side effects? +
Varies by medication, discussed at consultation. Common GLP-1 side effects include mild nausea, which typically resolves as the body adjusts.
Is there any downtime? +
No. Normal daily activities continue throughout the program.
Who supervises my treatment? +
Dr. Violeta Recalde, MD: personally, every step.
What is a GLP-1? +
GLP-1 medications are prescription treatments that mimic a natural hormone to regulate appetite and blood sugar, helping support weight loss alongside lifestyle changes.
How does a GLP-1 work? +
It signals fullness to the brain and slows digestion, so you feel satisfied with less food. It's used as part of a medically supervised program.
Is a GLP-1 safe? +
GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved and considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a medical provider. At MedGlo, your program is physician-supervised.
Is a GLP-1 the same as Ozempic? +
Ozempic is one brand of GLP-1 medication. "GLP-1" refers to the broader class, which includes semaglutide and others.
Which GLP-1 is best for weight loss? +
The best option depends on your health history and goals, something Dr. Recalde determines during a medical evaluation.
