Is Weight Gain—or Trying to Lose Weight—Taking Over Your Life?
If you’ve tried everything and still can’t lose weight…
If every attempt feels harder than the last…
If losing weight feels impossible…
You’re not wrong — and you’re not alone.
Most of our patients don’t come to us because they want an easy solution.
They come because they’ve been trying — really trying — for years, and their body simply won’t cooperate.
Here are the struggles we hear every single day:
✔ “I eat clean all week, then one stressful night ruins everything.”
✔ “I’m hungry all the time — it feels like food controls me.”
✔ “I work out hard, and the scale doesn’t budge.”
✔ “My metabolism tanked — nothing works for me anymore.”
✔ “I lose weight, then gain it back even faster.”
✔ “Doctors keep telling me to ‘eat less, move more.’ I’ve BEEN doing that.”
✔ “It’s like my body is fighting me.”
The truth?
For many people, the battle with weight has nothing to do with willpower or discipline.
It has everything to do with a hormone deficiency that no diet can correct.
Just like low testosterone and menopause happen as we age, the peptide hormones GLP-1 and GIP decline too — and sometimes much earlier, depending on stress, sleep, genetics, or years of dieting.
And when GLP-1 and GIP fall, the symptoms are unmistakable:
- unstoppable cravings
- intense hunger
- difficulty feeling full
- slowed metabolism
- easier fat storage
- harder fat burning
- weight that won’t budge
These hormones regulate:
- appetite
- cravings
- insulin response
- blood sugar
- how your body stores and burns fat
So when they’re low — whether due to aging or other causes — your body fights weight loss, even if you’re eating clean, exercising, and doing everything “right.”
This isn’t a willpower problem.
This is biology.
The Solution: Tirzepatide (Zepbound®) & Semaglutide (Wegovy®) Weight Loss Done Right
At most weight loss clinics, patients are rushed through a generic program with cookie-cutter dosing, minimal medical oversight, and little understanding of the hormonal root cause behind stubborn weight.
That’s unacceptable.
That’s not going to help you lose weight — and it’s definitely not going to help you keep it off.
Our expert physicians understand something most clinics overlook:
Just like low testosterone or menopause cannot be reversed with diet, exercise, or willpower, GLP-1 and GIP deficiencies cannot be fixed by trying harder. They require medical treatment.
When these peptide hormones decline — from aging, stress, genetics, insulin resistance, or years of dieting — your body locks into biological weight-preservation mode.
The solution isn’t to starve yourself or try harder…
It’s to restore the hormones your body needs to actually lose weight.
That’s exactly what semaglutide (Wegovy®) and tirzepatide (Zepbound™) do.
These medications fix the root cause by replacing the hormones you’re missing — truly making this hormone replacement therapy for weight loss.
When tirzepatide or semaglutide (GLP-1/GIP) hormone replacement Is done right, everything changes:
✔ Quieter appetite and fewer cravings
✔ Feeling full sooner — and staying satisfied longer
✔ Improved insulin sensitivity and stable blood sugar
✔ Steady, predictable fat loss
✔ Preserved lean muscle and better metabolism
✔ More energy, confidence, and momentum
✔ Easier long-term weight maintenance
At Full Potential HRT Clinic, this is how we help patients across Portland and Seattle metros — including Tigard, Renton, Vancouver, and Bellevue — finally lose weight, reclaim control over their health, and achieve their full potential.
Ready to Finally Lose Weight — Without Fighting Your Body Anymore
Life is too short to spend years battling cravings, slow metabolism, or weight that won’t budge no matter how hard you try.
If your body isn’t cooperating, it’s time for a medical approach that treats the cause, not the symptoms.
Take the first step today with physician-led, hormone-based medical weight loss using tirzepatide (Zepbound®), semaglutide (Wegovy®), or other advanced treatment options tailored to your biology.

How Tirzepatide (Zepbound®) & Semaglutide (Wegovy®) Work
Tirzepatide and semaglutide work by restoring the GLP-1 and GIP peptide hormones your body becomes deficient in over time — the hormones responsible for regulating:
- appetite and cravings
- fullness and satisfaction
- insulin response and blood sugar
- how much fat you store versus burn
When these peptide hormones are low, weight loss becomes biologically blocked — no matter how disciplined you are.
By replacing these hormones, tirzepatide and semaglutide:
✔ Quiet hunger and reduce cravings
✔ Help you feel full sooner
✔ Stabilize blood sugar and insulin
✔ Unlock steady, predictable fat loss
✔ Make your metabolism work with you again
This is why tirzepatide and semaglutide are actually a form of hormone replacement therapy for weight loss.
Safety & Side Effects with Tirzepatide (Zepbound®) & Semaglutide (Wegovy®)
The most common side effects of tirzepatide and semaglutide are digestive, especially when first starting or adjusting your dose. These medications slow stomach emptying as part of how they work, which helps you feel full longer and reduces appetite — but can also cause:
- Nausea or reduced appetite
- Constipation, bloating, or heartburn
- Mild fatigue in the early weeks
At Full Potential HRT Clinic, we don’t just hand you a prescription and hope for the best. We:
- Start at safe, low doses and increase only when your body is ready
- Use flexible, compounded dosing so we can adjust your dose in small steps
- Monitor your labs, symptoms, and body composition regularly
- Prescribe supportive treatments when needed to protect digestion, liver, and gallbladder
Serious side effects are rare but can include gallstones (usually from rapid weight loss) or pancreatitis. Your doctor will review your history carefully and monitor you to keep your treatment both safe and effective.
Who Can Safely Benefit from Tirzepatide (Zepbound®) or Semaglutide (Wegovy®)?
Tirzepatide and semaglutide are appropriate for patients who:
- Have at least 20 pounds of fat to lose
- Struggle with cravings, overeating, or stalled progress despite trying on their own
- Have signs of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, or hormone-related weight gain
- Want a physician-led, sustainable plan that protects metabolism, muscle, and appearance
Who Should Not Use Tirzepatide (Zepbound®) or Semaglutide (Wegovy®)?
Tirzepatide and semaglutide are not appropriate for:
- Anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or actively trying to conceive
- Individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2
- Individuals with a history of pancreatitis or active gallbladder disease
- Patients with active eating disorders
- Patients unwilling to complete lab testing or attend follow-up visits
If these medications aren’t a fit, we can often recommend safe alternatives.
Why So Many Tirzepatide (Zepbound®) & Semaglutide (Wegovy®) Patients Also Need Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
And How Treating Both Creates Safer, Faster, Longer-lasting Results
Tirzepatide and semaglutide restore the GLP-1 and GIP peptide hormones that control appetite and cravings — but they aren’t the only hormones that determine how quickly or safely you lose weight or whether you KEEP it off.
Your:
- testosterone
- estrogen
- growth hormone (GH/IGF-1)
- thyroid hormones (T3/T4)
- cortisol
…determine whether your body burns fat or muscle, whether your metabolism stays strong or collapses, and whether your weight loss is temporary or long-lasting.
Most weight-loss clinics never consider this. We do — because for patients who are deficient in these key hormones, correcting them is how we create faster, safer, longer-lasting results, along with better long-term health and longevity.
When we correct testosterone, estrogen, thyroid, and growth hormone deficiencies during tirzepatide or semaglutide therapy, everything changes:
✔ You lose fat — not the healthy muscle and tissue your metabolism depends on
✔ You avoid “Ozempic Face,” “Zepbound Face,” or the gaunt facial hollowing of rapid GLP-1 weight loss
✔ Your metabolism stays higher, stronger, and more youthful instead of slowing down
✔ You prevent the metabolic crash that leads to rebound weight gain
✔ You maintain strength, curves, and a naturally youthful appearance
✔ You feel more energy, motivation, and focus
✔ Your heart, brain, bones, and skin remain supported and protected
✔ Your results become dramatically easier to maintain after tapering — or stopping — tirzepatide or semaglutide
This approach also reduces your long-term reliance on expensive tirzepatide or semaglutide — saving most patients hundreds of dollars per month once your hormones are optimized.
Most importantly:
⭐ Optimizing your hormones makes your results durable — so the weight you lose stays off.
⭐ It also helps many patients eventually reduce their tirzepatide or semaglutide dose — or discontinue it entirely — without regaining weight.
Hormone replacement therapy is only recommended when medically indicated, but the reality is that most patients who need tirzepatide or semaglutide also have significant deficiencies of these key hormones. For these patients, incorporating TRT or HRT from the start creates a healthier, more natural, more cost-effective long-term plan — and dramatically improves their ability to maintain results for life.
This isn’t just about losing weight.
This is about building:
- a stronger metabolism
- healthier muscle
- balanced hormones
- better long-term health
- real, lasting change
At Full Potential HRT Clinic, our goal is simple:
Help you lose weight as quickly and safely as possible — and make those results last.
If you’re deficient in these key hormones, we can incorporate TRT or HRT into your personalized medical weight loss plan to give you the healthiest, lowest-cost, and longest-lasting path forward while optimizing your overall health and longevity.
Testosterone: How it Prevents Muscle Loss & Weight Regain During Tirzepatide (Zepbound®) & Semaglutide (Wegovy®) Therapy
Learn How Testosterone Affects Weight Loss
Testosterone is essential for fat loss that stays off, because it:
- preserves and builds lean muscle during weight loss
- raises resting metabolism
- increases insulin receptors in muscle
- pulls glucose into muscle instead of storing it as fat
- accelerates fat oxidation
- boosts motivation, energy, and focus
- reduces abdominal fat gain from stress
- protects heart, brain, and bone tissue
Why this matters:
⭐ When tirzepatide and semaglutide patients lose muscle, they ALWAYS regain the weight.
⭐ When testosterone protects muscle, patients KEEP the weight off.
Optimizing testosterone means:
✔ You lose fat — not the healthy tissue that prevents weight regain
✔ Your metabolism stays strong after tapering off medication
✔ You avoid the metabolic collapse that leads to rebound gain
This applies to men and women — not just men.
Estrogen: Protecting Women’s Curves, Metabolism & Long-Term Weight Stability
Learn How Estrogen Affects Weight Loss
For women, estrogen prevents:
- unwanted fat loss in the breasts, hips, and buttocks
- facial fat loss that leads to “Ozempic Face,” “Zepbound Face,” or the gaunt look caused by rapid loss of facial fat (“GLP-1 Face”), or premature aging
- muscle loss that slows metabolism
- thyroid sluggishness
- rapid rebound weight gain after tirzepatide and semaglutide
Estrogen keeps a woman’s metabolism youthful, stable, and resilient.
Optimized estrogen ensures:
✔ healthy, focused fat loss
✔ preserved curves and feminine shape
✔ stable mood, energy, and motivation
✔ smoother metabolic control
✔ dramatically lower risk of regaining weight
This is crucial because:
⭐ Low estrogen → muscle loss → slower metabolism → inevitable regain.
⭐ Optimal estrogen → tissue protection → stable metabolism → long-term success.
Growth Hormone (GH): The Guardian of Fat Loss, Muscle Tone & Skin Elasticity
Learn How Growth Hormone Affects Weight Loss
Growth hormone / IGF-1 governs:
- fat breakdown
- muscle building and maintenance
- tissue repair
- skin elasticity and firmness
- collagen production
- metabolic efficiency
- nighttime fat burning
When GH is low:
- fat loss slows
- the body burns muscle instead of fat
- skin becomes loose or saggy: “Ozempic Face,” “Zepbound Face,” or the gaunt look caused by rapid loss of facial fat (“GLP-1 Face”)
- recovery becomes difficult
- energy and stamina collapse
- metabolism plummets after GLP-1 therapy
- weight regain becomes almost guaranteed
- testosterone benefits can be significantly weakened depending on severity of deficiency
Optimizing GH:
✔ enhances fat loss
✔ preserves muscle and body tone
✔ protects skin firmness and elasticity
✔ improves sleep, energy, and recovery
✔ stabilizes metabolism
✔ makes long-term weight maintenance possible
Growth hormone is often the missing piece behind yo-yo dieting — and restoring it helps convert short-term loss into permanent change.
Thyroid Hormones: The Key to Keeping Weight OFF After Tirzepatide (Zepbound®) & Semaglutide (Wegovy®)
Learn How Thyroid Affects Weight Loss
Thyroid hormones (T3/T4) determine:
- metabolic rate
- calorie burning
- fat breakdown
- insulin sensitivity
- energy levels
- digestion and gut motility
- body temperature
- mood, mental clarity, and motivation
When thyroid is low (even “low-normal”):
- fat loss slows dramatically
- fatigue worsens
- constipation increases
- metabolism drops
- tirzepatide and semaglutide progress stalls
- rebound weight gain after completion of tirzepatide and semaglutide therapy becomes extremely likely
Optimizing thyroid levels:
✔ speeds up metabolism
✔ enhances tirzepatide and semaglutide medication effectiveness
✔ protects muscle from breakdown
✔ increases energy to exercise and move
✔ prevents the post-treatment metabolic “crash”
Thyroid is often the difference between:
“I regained everything.”
and
“I kept the weight off.”
Cortisol: The Key to Losing the Right Kind of Fat While Using Tirzepatide (Zepbound®) & Semaglutide (Wegovy®)
Learn How Cortisol Affects Weight Loss
Cortisol is your body’s primary stress and metabolic rhythm hormone, and it directly controls:
- where your body stores fat (especially belly and visceral fat)
- where your body is willing to burn fat
- blood sugar stability
- inflammation
- appetite and cravings
- sleep depth and recovery
- metabolic rate
- thyroid conversion (T4 → T3)
- mood, irritability, and overwhelm
When cortisol is too high, too low, or released at the wrong times of day:
- your body holds fat in the abdomen and midsection
- fat loss comes from the wrong places (muscle instead of fat)
- cravings increase, especially for sugar and carbs
- blood sugar swings worsen
- sleep becomes light or broken
- inflammation rises, blocking fat loss
- tirzepatide and semaglutide results stall
- rebound weight gain becomes likely after stopping medication
When cortisol is too low (common after burnout or chronic stress):
- energy becomes unstable
- fatigue increases
- metabolism slows
- blood pressure and blood sugar fluctuate
- the body enters “conservation mode,” holding onto fat
- GLP-1 medications become less effective
- fat loss shifts toward muscle loss instead of fat
Optimizing cortisol rhythms:
✔ helps your body release the right kind of fat from the right places
✔ reduces abdominal and visceral fat
✔ lowers inflammation that blocks metabolic progress
✔ stabilizes blood sugar and prevents craving spikes
✔ improves sleep depth and daytime energy
✔ enhances tirzepatide and semaglutide effectiveness
✔ protects muscle while cutting fat
✔ supports long-term weight maintenance
Cortisol is often the difference between:
“My body won’t burn the fat I actually want to lose.”
and
“My body finally lets go of stubborn fat while keeping muscle strong.”
At Full Potential HRT Clinic, we optimize these hormones for patients who are deficient in one or more of them, ensuring that:
- You don’t lose the wrong weight
- Your metabolism doesn’t collapse
- Your results don’t disappear the moment you decrease or discontinue tirzepatide or semaglutide
For patients with hormone deficiencies, this is how we create weight loss that truly LASTS.
Ready for a Weight Loss Plan That Protects Your Metabolism — and Your Long-Term Health?
If you’re like most patients who need tirzepatide or semaglutide, your body is fighting weight loss on multiple hormonal fronts. Correcting these imbalances — while treating GLP-1 and GIP deficiencies — is how we help you lose fat without sacrificing muscle, metabolism, or your long-term results or health.
This is the difference between temporary weight loss…
and weight loss that lasts for life.
At Full Potential HRT Clinic, your doctor evaluates all key hormones — testosterone, estrogen, thyroid, growth hormone, and more — and builds a personalized plan that protects your metabolism, keeps your appearance healthy and natural, and makes your results easier to maintain long after tirzepatide or semaglutide.
And for patients who medically qualify for both HRT/TRT and medical weight loss, our membership structure makes this combined approach far more affordable:
Patients doing both HRT/TRT + Medical Weight Loss save instantly — and long-term
- Weight loss membership is only $50/month for the first year for HRT/TRT patients
- With physician approval, future years may reduce to $0/month
- Compared to weight loss alone, patients save $95/month immediately
- HRT/TRT often allows you to reduce or discontinue tirzepatide/semaglutide sooner, multiplying long-term cost savings
If you’ve been considering treating low testosterone, perimenopause, menopause, or hormone imbalance and starting weight loss — this is the smartest, most cost-effective time to do both.

Why Patients Choose Full Potential HRT Clinic for Tirzepatide (Zepbound®) & Semaglutide (Wegovy®) Medical Weight Loss
Here’s why more patients across Portland and Seattle metros — including Tigard, Renton, Vancouver, and Bellevue trust Full Potential HRT Clinic for medical weight loss with tirzepatide and semaglutide.
Who We Are
Physician-Led, Not Sales-Driven
Owned and managed by local doctors — not businessmen or investors. You’ll work directly with licensed naturopathic physicians, never salespeople, “care coordinators,” or nurses following a script. Every doctor is trained by Dr. Robert Strait and his protégé, Dr. Amanda Moninger to help patients lose weight safely, preserve their metabolism, and achieve long-lasting results with tirzepatide and semaglutide.
A Medical Team That Works Together
When our physicians need support, they don’t call a franchise owner or flip through a binder of cookie-cutter protocols written by a doctor over a thousand miles away — they walk down the hall. Every patient benefits from the combined expertise and collaboration of an entire veteran medical team with years of experience treating metabolism, hormones, and complex weight-loss cases.
Local, 11+ Years of Trusted Experience
We’ve watched telehealth “weight-loss mills,” online tirzepatide or semaglutide sellers, and national franchises appear overnight — offering fast prescriptions with little personalization or follow-up. Their patients often end up unsupported, unsafe, or with results that don’t last. And then they find us. With thousands of patients cared for and years of experience, our locally owned, physician-led clinic is built to last — with the same trusted doctors providing exceptional care year after year.
How Our Medical Approach Achieves Better Weight Loss Results
Personalized, Attentive Care — Not Cookie-Cutter Protocols
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all dosing. Every tirzepatide and semaglutide plan is personalized based on your tolerance, results, labs, hormone status, metabolism, medical history, lifestyle, and goals. We titrate doses carefully to reduce side effects, protect muscle and metabolism, and support your long-term health — so you can lose weight quickly and safely, and KEEP it off while becoming your healthiest self.
Flexible Dosing for Better, Safer, Longer-Lasting Results
Most clinics prescribe manufactured Zepbound® or Wegovy® and follow rigid dosing schedules, using single-dose autopens or fixed-dose vials that offer little room for adjustment. This often leads to severe side effects, rapid and unhealthy weight loss, and significant loss of muscle and other vital tissues—problems that ultimately increase long-term dependency on the medication and make it difficult to maintain results without continuously escalating to higher doses.
This is not acceptable. We prescribe only compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide in flexible, multi-dose vials that allow for small, precise, individualized dose adjustments. Your doctor can increase or decrease your dose based on your hunger, tolerance, progress, metabolism, hormone status, body composition, and overall health—not a predetermined manufacturer protocol. This flexible, patient-centered dosing approach helps you lose weight more comfortably, reduces side effects, preserves muscle and metabolism, protects your appearance, and lays the foundation for long-lasting results.
Integrated Hormone Optimization for Patients Who Need It
For patients with confirmed hormone deficiencies, we can integrate TRT or HRT into their weight-loss plan. This helps accelerate healthy fat loss, protect muscle and metabolism, improve energy and motivation, and reduce long-term reliance on expensive weight loss medications — making results easier to maintain even after tapering or discontinuing tirzepatide and semaglutide. For most patients with hormone deficiencies, TRT or HRT becomes the healthier, more natural, more cost-effective long-term solution to weight loss — while improving health, longevity, and quality of life and drastically reducing tirzepatide and semaglutide costs.
Focused on Long-Term Results — Not Lifelong Tirzepatide (Zepbound®) or Semaglutide (Wegovy®) Dependency
Many weight-loss clinics are built on a model that keeps patients on tirzepatide or semaglutide indefinitely. Our goal is different. We help you reach your goal weight quickly and safely while preserving your muscle, metabolism, and overall health — and then support you in tapering down to the lowest effective dose, or discontinuing the medication entirely when appropriate.
Flexible Memberships That Put You First
Your care begins with an all-inclusive, concierge-level membership that includes unlimited physician access, visits, phone calls, labs, blood draws, and messaging whenever medically necessary. After your weight, hormones, and metabolic markers are stable — and your doctor confirms it is safe — you become eligible to transition into lower-cost memberships designed to support your long-term results while lowering your ongoing cost.
Ready for Physician-Led, Personalized Weight Loss Care?
If you’re looking for a clinic that prioritizes safety, personalization, hormone balance, and long-term results and health— not rushed prescriptions or one-size-fits-all dosing — our doctors are here to help you get started the right way.
Speak With Our Medical Concierge to schedule your initial evaluation or ask any questions before you begin.
What to Expect with Tirzepatide (Zepbound®) & Semaglutide (Wegovy®) for Weight Loss at Full Potential HRT Clinic
Most patients come to us after trying to lose weight on their own—or after working with clinics that rushed them through a generic program. Many have tried online programs or “quick fix” weight-loss mills and ended up feeling rushed, dismissed, or sold to.
Your experience here will be different.
With locations in the Portland and Seattle metros — and serving Tigard, Renton, Vancouver, Bellevue, and the surrounding communities — your weight loss journey at Full Potential HRT Clinic is personalized, medically supervised, and structured for long-term success.
Here’s what your journey typically looks like.
Cost of Your First Two Visits — Comprehensive Evaluation + Lab Review & Treatment Planning
To get started safely and correctly, every patient completes a full medical workup that includes two separate doctor visits, a comprehensive lab panel, and body composition analysis.
Visit 1 — Comprehensive Evaluation
✔ Full medical, metabolic, and weight-loss history
✔ Physical exam and vitals
✔ Body composition analysis
✔ In-office blood draw for comprehensive labs
✔ Review of symptoms, goals, and weight-loss challenges

Total cost for both visits + all labs + body composition: $195.
🡆Switching from another local clinic?
We waive the $195 evaluation and consultation fee for patients currently paying $145+/month for a weight-loss membership elsewhere.
Step 1 – Comprehensive Medical Weight Loss Evaluation & Consultation
Your first step is a thorough medical evaluation focused on why your body is holding onto weight.
During this visit, your doctor will:
- Review your complete medical, metabolic, and weight-loss history
- Assess risk factors such as insulin resistance, sleep, stress, and medications
- Perform a focused physical exam with vitals, measurements, and body composition analysis
- Discuss your symptoms, challenges, goals, and preferred pace of weight loss
- Your blood will be drawn while in the office to run a comprehensive panel of blood tests.
You may also add additional time and hormone testing to evaluate:
- low testosterone
- menopause or perimenopause
- other potential deficiencies or imbalances
This evaluation ensures that your treatment plan is safe, appropriate, and completely personalized.
Step 2 – Review of Lab Results & Personalized Treatment Plan
Once your labs are complete, you’ll meet with your doctor for a detailed review of:
- Your body composition results
- Your blood work, including hormone and metabolic markers affecting weight
- Diet, stress, sleep, and lifestyle factors contributing to weight gain or difficulty losing weight
You’ll receive:
- A clear medical explanation of what is causing or contributing to weight challenges
- A diagnosis and prognosis in plain language
- A discussion of whether tirzepatide, semaglutide, or an alternative treatment is the safest and most effective option for you
- A customized medical weight-loss plan tailored to your biology, including follow-up visits, blood testing, body composition analysis, dose strategy, and realistic expectations for your journey
If you choose to move forward, you’ll enroll in a weight-loss membership that includes:
- Ongoing doctor and medical assistant visits and phone calls
- Ongoing blood testing
- Ongoing body composition monitoring
- Medical support throughout your weight-loss journey
Medication costs are billed through our clinic so we can ensure consistent supply, quality, and correct dosing, using compounded versions of tirzepatide and semaglutide that allow flexible titration for optimal benefit and tolerance.
If tirzepatide or semaglutide is not the right fit medically or financially, your doctor will discuss other evidence-based options such as tesofensine, bupropion, LDN, or additional approaches when appropriate.
Step 3 — Early Weight Loss Phase & Dose Stabilization
During the first several months, you and your doctor work closely together to safely titrate your dose of tirzepatide or semaglutide and ensure your body responds as desired.
This phase focuses on:
- Appetite and craving reduction
- Improvements in insulin and blood sugar
- GI tolerance and side-effect management
- Early fat-loss trends
- Protecting muscle, metabolism, skin appearance, and health
- Adjusting your dose based on progress and comfort
Most patients begin to feel the shift during this stage—steadier energy, fewer cravings, easier appetite control, and noticeable changes in how their clothes fit and how their body feels.
You will have a follow-up phone call with your doctor after your first month, then return to the clinic at two months for vitals, body composition analysis, and an office visit. You will repeat this cycle two months later, along with fasting blood work and a follow-up call to review your results.
After these initial visits, patients return to the office every four months.
Between these scheduled visits, patients are encouraged to come into the clinic at least once, and are welcome to come up to once monthly, for vitals and body composition analysis with one of our medical assistants.
Expected Rate of Weight Loss.
Most patients lose weight at a steady pace of 1–2 pounds per week, with individuals who have more weight to lose often progressing faster during the early months. Your total timeline depends on your goals, but many patients reach the majority of their results within 3–12 months, with larger goals following a longer but predictable arc. Your doctor will discuss your expected pace based on your starting point, metabolism, and overall health.
Step 4 — Ongoing Weight Loss & Quarterly Monitoring
Once your dose is stable and you’re progressing consistently, you’ll move into a rhythm of monitoring.
Every four months, you will complete:
- Fasting blood work
- Vitals
- Body composition analysis
- A follow-up visit with your doctor or a medical assistant, depending on your membership tier
- A follow-up phone call or secure message from your doctor, depending on your tier
Newer patients or those needing more oversight will continue meeting directly with their doctor and receiving phone calls after lab results.
Patients who have been stable for a year or more may transition to visits with a medical assistant and shorter phone calls or secure messages, while still receiving full medical oversight.
Regardless of tier, all patients receive:
- An annual in-person visit with their doctor
- Ongoing access to monthly MA vitals and body composition analysis
- Continued medical support through messages with our clinical team
This structure ensures your care remains safe, predictable, and tailored to your needs.
Step 5 — Reaching Your Goal Weight & Maintaining Momentum
Once you achieve a healthier weight or your weight-loss goal and your dose is stable, your doctor will guide you into a maintenance rhythm focused on protecting the progress you’ve made.
Your follow-up structure depends on your membership tier, but all patients remain under consistent physician oversight, with ongoing monitoring every four months that includes body composition analysis, fasting blood work, and a structured review of your results. All patients also receive an annual in-person visit with their doctor.
The goal of this phase is to maintain your results, protect your metabolism, preserve muscle and appearance, and support your long-term health.
Step 6 — Tapering, Low-Dose Maintenance, or Discontinuation
Once your weight stabilizes at your healthy range or goal, your doctor will determine whether tapering is appropriate. Many patients transition to a lower maintenance dose, while some are able to taper completely off tirzepatide or semaglutide under supervision.
If you taper or discontinue and later need or want to resume medication, restarting is simple and fully physician-guided.

Stable patients ready for reduced oversight of medical weight loss
This tiered system ensures you always receive the right level of support at the right time — from intensive physician-guided care at the beginning of your tirzepatide or semaglutide journey to streamlined, affordable long-term maintenance once your weight and metabolism are stable.
How Membership Works When You Combine Weight Loss With HRT or TRT
Many patients choose to treat weight loss and hormone optimization together because they support each other biologically — and doing both also lowers long-term cost of medications.
If you medically qualify for HRT or TRT at Full Potential, your weight-loss membership becomes significantly more affordable:
-
Only $50/month for the first year
-
Future years may drop to $0/month (with physician approval)
-
Instant savings of $95/month compared to weight loss alone
-
Reduced long-term tirzepatide/semaglutide dose needs, lowering medication costs
This means patients who combine HRT/TRT with medical weight loss often achieve better metabolic results, greater muscle preservation, and better longer-term results and medication costs.
If you’re already on HRT/TRT at our clinic, talk with your doctor about how your membership applies automatically.
