Dr. Jxxn Montenegro

Naturopathic Physician in Tigard, OR Focused on HRT, TRT, Medical Weight Loss, Sexual Health, & Hair Restoration


Meet Dr. Jxxn Montenegro


Dr. Jxxn Montenegro is a warm, compassionate naturopathic physician who wants patients to feel truly seen, heard, and worthy of care. Dr. Montenegro takes time to make eye contact, listen, validate what patients are experiencing, and understand the person beyond the chief complaint.

The goal is to create one of the best experiences a patient can have with a doctor: thoughtful, honest, supportive, and grounded in a relationship of trust. Dr. Montenegro approaches care with humility and openness, helps patients understand their options, and encourages them to take an active role in setting goals and making decisions about their health.

With a background in primary care, women’s health, personal training, hormone replacement therapy, medical weight loss, and sexual health, Dr. Montenegro brings both clinical knowledge and real-world experience to helping patients feel better, function better, and participate more fully in their lives.

Education, Training, and Clinical Experience


Dr. Montenegro earned a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts from Idaho State University in 2004 and a Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies from Portland State University in 2007.

In 2010, Dr. Montenegro earned a Diploma of Certification from the National Personal Training Institute in Portland. This led to a career of more than a decade as a personal trainer, helping people build muscle, improve their nutrition, lose weight, and create lasting changes in their health and fitness.

Dr. Montenegro later earned a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland in 2021.

Additional education and experience include:

  • Integrative Pelvic Therapy certification and mentorship with Kathryn Kloos
  • Approximately three years in a primary-care setting with a focus on hormones and women’s health
  • Continuing education in hormone replacement therapy and testosterone replacement therapy
  • Medical weight management
  • Sexual health and performance
  • Experience in an aesthetic medical practice with exposure to PRP and neuromodulator treatments
  • More than 10 years of experience in strength training, nutrition, muscle development, and sustainable weight management

Dr. Montenegro’s background in fitness provides an especially valuable perspective on body composition and medical weight loss. Long before prescribing weight-loss medications, Dr. Montenegro was helping people understand how to eat, train, build muscle, and maintain results.

Her Path to Whole-Person Hormone Care


Dr. Montenegro’s interest in becoming a physician began during an undergraduate health class at Idaho State University. While the class was reviewing graphic medical slides, the doctor teaching the course remarked:

“If you can eat while looking at these slides, you should become a doctor.”

The possibility was intriguing, but medicine initially felt cold and stressful.

That perception changed after Dr. Montenegro became a patient of naturopathic physician Jacqui Villalobos. Dr. Villalobos was gentle, warm, and kind. She listened, made Dr. Montenegro feel seen and heard, and communicated that every patient was worthy of care and consideration.

Most importantly, she helped restore a sense of personal power.

She shared her belief that people can change their health and their lives. That experience revealed a version of medicine centered not only on diagnosis and treatment, but also on compassion, education, relationship, and hope.

Dr. Montenegro wanted to offer other patients that same experience.

Years later, as Dr. Villalobos prepared to relocate, she gave Dr. Montenegro her old medical-school textbooks and notebooks. Dr. Montenegro would soon enter the same naturopathic medical program and begin the path toward providing that kind of care to others.

Testosterone and other hormone therapy drew Dr. Montenegro’s attention after seeing how many women were moving through perimenopause and menopause without receiving meaningful education or treatment.

Many were suffering quietly even though hormone replacement therapy was available. Dr. Montenegro wanted women to understand how strongly hormones influence the body, how much people rely on them for optimal health, and how thoughtfully balanced treatment may help women thrive and live longer, healthier lives.

Dr. Montenegro is equally committed to helping men feel comfortable seeking care.

Men are often less likely to visit a doctor or develop positive attitudes about receiving medical help. Dr. Montenegro believes that prioritizing one’s health is not a weakness.

“Men deserve care, and prioritizing it is not a weakness. There is absolute strength in leading a long, fulfilling life.”

Areas of Clinical Focus


Dr. Montenegro has prioritized developing deep and broad experience and expertise in testosterone and hormone replacement therapy. She approaches treatment with attention to symptoms, laboratory findings, goals, overall health, and the individual person—not through a one-size-fits-all plan.

Sexual health is another important area of focus. Dr. Montenegro is comfortable discussing concerns involving libido, pleasure, sexual function, relationships, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Years of examining the cultural and social messages surrounding sex and pleasure have reinforced the importance of creating a clinical space where people can talk openly. Dr. Montenegro understands that these conversations can feel vulnerable. The goal is to break down the barriers that prevent patients from speaking freely with their doctors and to provide space where a patient can bring up absolutely anything without embarrassment or judgment.

Medical weight loss is also a natural extension of Dr. Montenegro’s earlier career in fitness. After more than a decade teaching people how to lift weights, eat for their goals, lose fat, and build muscle, Dr. Montenegro understands both what sustainable weight loss requires and how difficult it can be without medical support.

When medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide are appropriate, Dr. Montenegro helps patients lose weight while paying particular attention to muscle retention, nutrition, strength training, and the habits needed to maintain progress over time.

“Watching the sparkle return to people’s eyes is the most rewarding part of this work. Helping people experience pleasure, joy, and satisfaction in their relationships and their lives is the goal.”

Why Dr. Dr. Jxxn Montenegro Chose Full Potential HRT Clinic


Before joining Full Potential, Dr. Montenegro worked in a primary-care setting serving the general population, with a particular focus on women’s health and hormones.

Dr. Montenegro was drawn to Full Potential because the clinic gives physicians meaningful time to spend one-on-one with patients. That face-to-face connection is one of the most rewarding parts of being a doctor and allows the physician to understand more than a list of symptoms or laboratory results.

Full Potential also stood apart in the way the clinic values naturopathic medicine, naturopathic physicians, and the contributions of the entire team.

The clinic’s focused model gives Dr. Montenegro the opportunity to develop deeper expertise in hormone optimization, medical weight loss, and sexual health while preserving the listening, education, relationship-building, and whole-person care that originally inspired a career in naturopathic medicine.

How Dr. Jxxn Montenegro Approaches Patient Care


Dr. Montenegro wants patients to feel that they have a doctor who genuinely cares about their well-being—a doctor who makes eye contact, listens, validates their experience, tells them the truth, and is willing to go the extra mile.

The role a physician plays in shaping a patient’s experience of healthcare is taken very seriously. Many people arrive carrying stories of rushed appointments, unanswered questions, dismissal, or care that did not meet their expectations.

Dr. Montenegro strives to be relatable, teachable, humble, open, and honest.

Long-term care involves getting to know patients on a deeper level than their chief complaints. Dr. Montenegro feels successful when it is possible to name several things that are near and dear to a patient’s heart—not merely recite diagnoses or laboratory values.

Each person’s story is as unique as a fingerprint. That story influences what a patient has experienced, what better health means to that person, and what kind of treatment plan will be realistic and meaningful.

Dr. Montenegro works especially well with patients who:

  • Want to discuss the many factors influencing their health
  • Prefer shared decision-making
  • Want to participate actively in treatment
  • Are ready to identify personal goals
  • Appreciate encouragement and accountability
  • Want a physician who will support them while also pushing them toward the goals they have chosen

The goal is not to dictate what a patient should want. It is to understand what matters to that individual and then partner in working toward it.

Outside the Clinic


Dr. Montenegro brings an authentic personality into the exam room: supportive, caring, compassionate, reliable, and sincere—usually accompanied by interesting socks that stand apart from the otherwise all-black scrubs.

Nature, joy, playfulness, love, connection, and the diversity of life are deeply important. Dr. Montenegro sees Mother Nature as one of the most beautiful, spiritual, and mysterious parts of being human.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Montenegro loves plants and birds and participates in pigeon-rescue activities.

Spiders receive a more cautious welcome. Although not a particular favorite, reachable spiders are now escorted safely outside rather than killed.

At the center of Dr. Montenegro’s approach to both life and medicine is a belief in the power of words and human connection. A former physician demonstrated how deeply a doctor’s words can affect someone’s healing journey. Dr. Montenegro strives to make patients feel just as seen and valued.

“I can think of no greater honor than to be a positive force of change or inspiration in another person’s journey.”
