About Potentia MedSpa

What is Potentia MedSpa?

Potentia MedSpa is a medspa in Lafayette, California, run by Dr. Vera Singleton, ND, MBA, a naturopathic doctor who also serves women from Walnut Creek, Orinda, Moraga, Danville, Alamo, Pleasant Hill, Berkeley, Oakland and the wider East Bay. The practice describes itself as a "Functional Aesthetics" clinic, blending holistic and functional medicine with aesthetic services. Weight loss is one program among many, alongside bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, perimenopause support, peptide therapy when clinically appropriate, digestion and gut health work, PRF/PRP, body contouring and several skin and facial treatments.

For weight loss specifically, Dr. Singleton prescribes GLP-1 medications named as Ozempic and Monujaro, as well as HCG injections paired with a low-calorie protocol. She describes her approach as built around testing hormones and metabolic markers, tracking body composition, protecting muscle with protein targets, resistance training and strategic use of amino acids and creatine, managing GLP-1 side effects, and planning a taper off the medication rather than keeping patients on it indefinitely. In her own words: "I prescribe GLP-1 medications, and my goal is for you to stop taking them." She also offers microdosing of GLP-1 medications for patients who have not tolerated standard dosing. Scheduling runs through an online booking system; telehealth availability is not stated.

What does it cost?

No prices are published for the weight loss program, HCG, GLP-1 medications, hormone testing, bioidentical HRT or any other service. It is not stated whether a monthly fee would include the medication itself or whether insurance is accepted. The only cost information given is that the initial phone consultation is free, for 20 minutes. Before booking, ask directly what the weight loss program costs per month, what the HCG and GLP-1 protocols cost separately, and what lab work and DEXA scans add to the total.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the GLP-1 medications prescribed are brand-name or compounded, since the clinic names Ozempic and Monujaro but does not specify sourcing for every patient. Ask what the monthly fee covers and whether medication, monthly check-ins, blood work, and the included resistance training coaching are bundled into one price or billed separately. Ask who actually writes and manages the prescription, since Dr. Singleton is the only prescriber listed, and confirm how follow-up visits and dose adjustments are scheduled and priced. Ask what the cancellation or refund terms are if you start the program and want to stop, and ask directly how the promised taper plan works in practice, since the structure of the taper itself is not spelled out with specifics.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are a woman over 40 looking for a weight loss approach that pairs GLP-1 or HCG with hormone testing and muscle-focused support, and who wants a naturopathic doctor overseeing the process rather than a script-only telehealth model. It is less suited to someone who wants published pricing up front or a straightforward, medication-only program without the broader functional medicine framework.
