Why Our Weight Loss Approach Works

---

---

At Full Potential HRT Clinic, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter weight loss. Our Portland-based medical team delivers highly personalized, doctor-led care rooted in functional medicine, hormone optimization, and real diagnostic insight. We specialize in GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Wegovy®), tirzepatide (Zepbound®), and liraglutide (Saxenda®), and our goal is simple: help you lose weight safely, effectively, and sustainably.

We Identify and Treat the Root Causes of Weight Gain

---

• Most clinics prescribe GLP-1 medications without investigating the underlying reasons patients struggle to lose weight or keep it off. We take the opposite approach.

  Every patient begins with a thorough medical evaluation including blood testing, a body composition scan, and a provider visit to assess:

  • Thyroid hormone levels
  • Testosterone and estrogen status
  • Growth hormone, prolactin, and cortisol balance
  • Insulin resistance and blood sugar regulation
  • Vitamin and micronutrient deficiencies
  • Generalized inflammation or liver dysfunction
  • Lifestyle factors including sleep, stress, movement, and dietary habits

  By understanding the complete picture of your metabolism and health, we can customize a plan that actually works.

We Optimize Hormones to Improve Results

---

Many patients who don’t respond well to weight loss medications have underlying hormone issues.

We don’t just replace GLP-1 levels with semaglutide, tirzepatide, or liraglutide. We go further, optimizing other key hormones such as:

• Testosterone (especially in men)
• Thyroid hormones (T3/T4/TSH)
• Vitamin D and micronutrients that impact metabolism and energy
• Growth hormone support, when clinically indicated

This integrative approach means your entire metabolic system is supported — not just your appetite.

We Support Tolerability with Adjunctive Treatments

---

GLP-1 medications work in part by slowing digestion and suppressing appetite, which can cause side effects such as nausea, bloating, fatigue, or constipation.

We proactively prescribe treatments to prevent and manage these side effects, including:

• Digestive support supplements or medications
• Hormone therapy to prevent fatigue or lean tissue loss
• Liver and pancreatic support to reduce long-term risks

This helps our patients tolerate higher, more effective doses while minimizing discomfort.

We Help Patients Taper Off Medications Sucessfully

---

We don’t believe anyone should be dependent on weight loss drugs forever.

Our structured, phased tapering protocols help you transition off medications like semaglutide, tirzepatide, or liraglutide while keeping the weight off. This includes:

• Strategic dose reduction once goals are met
• Hormone and metabolic support during tapering
• Lifestyle coaching to maintain new habits
• Optional adjunct therapies to stabilize metabolism

Our goal: sustainable results without long-term reliance.

We Closely Monitor Safety and Progress

---

Too many clinics skip real follow-up. At Full Potential, we track your progress in person with:

• Regular body composition scans
• Physical exams and vital signs
• Repeat lab testing
• Provider-led care every 2 months during active weight loss, and every 4 months for maintenance

This ensures we catch problems early, prevent muscle or bone loss, and keep your treatment safe and effective.

We Offer Real Clinical Care — Not a Telehealth Mill

---

You can visit us. You can meet your doctor. You can reach our staff. That matters.

We’re a real, local medical clinic in SW Portland with over a decade of experience and a team that has worked together for years. We draw your labs here. We get to know you. We adjust your care based on your body, not a flowchart.

You are not just a subscriber or a protocol. You’re a person.

We Continue to Offer Liraglutide — A More Affordable GLP-1 Option

---

Most clinics were only offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide — and now that those medications are only available in expensive, brand-name form, they’re continuing to push just those high-cost options.

We’re different.

We continue to offer compounded liraglutide (generic Saxenda®) as part of our GLP-1 toolkit. While it’s shorter-acting than semaglutide or tirzepatide, it remains an effective, evidence-based option — and now serves as a valuable, lower-cost alternative for patients who need a more affordable starting point or don’t tolerate the longer-acting drugs.

Our goal has always been to make medical weight loss safe, personalized, and accessible — and that means keeping multiple tools on the table, not just the most expensive ones.

We Prescribe the Right Dose — Not the Cheapest One

---

Some clinics advertise low prices but cap doses or restrict medication access. That’s not safe or fair to patients.

At Full Potential, your dose of semaglutide, tirzepatide, or liraglutide is determined based on your clinical needs — not based on how much we can save.

Our membership covers the provider care you need. We offer direct-from-manufacturer medications for the best pricing available, and we never limit you to ineffective doses to protect our margins.

We Focus on Long-Term Health, Not Just the Scale

---

Successful weight loss is about more than numbers. We help patients:

• Reduce cardiovascular risk

• Reverse insulin resistance or prediabetes

• Improve energy, confidence, and sleep

• Move pain-free with regenerative injection therapies

Your plan is built to help you look better, feel better, and live better — not just lose pounds.

We Deliver Concierge-Level Service and Results

---

Patients often don’t realize how valuable good customer service is until they experience poor care elsewhere.

Our concierge model means:

• Same-day or next-day access to providers

• Thoughtful answers to every question

• A team who remembers your name and your goals

It’s not just medicine. It’s care you can feel.
