Ideal Protocol in Folsom has been a genuinely transformative experience, and a large part of that is thanks to Judy. Her partnership is unlike anything I’ve experienced on a weight-loss journey. She brings a rare combination of authenticity, deep knowledge, and a refreshingly realistic approach that makes every milestone feel achievable.

Judy never just hands out advice—she explains the “why” behind it, helping you understand how your body works and how each choice supports your goals. Her guidance is grounded, science-based, and tailored to real life, not perfection. She celebrates your wins, helps you navigate challenges without judgment, and consistently brings an encouraging, human touch to the process.

What stands out most is her genuine care. You always feel heard, supported, and set up for long-term success—not just short-term results. Thanks to her partnership, Ideal Protocol becomes more than a program; it becomes a sustainable way forward.

If you’re looking for knowledgeable support, honest guidance, and someone truly invested in your success, Judy at Ideal Protocol in Folsom is exceptional.

I have been struggling with menopausal weight gain for a few years and struggled to find the “right” solution! I’ve always been very health conscience but was truly stuck! The folks at Ideal Protocol helped me find the solution and I’m feeling great, fit in my skinny clothes again and look forward to clothes shopping once more!! Stats at my Dr office look fantastic & my Dr told me keep on doing what you are doing, cause it is working!!!

I had been struggling with my weight for awhile when I found Ideal Protocol. I lost 30 pounds and felt supported by Judy and the team all the way. Scheduling was easy and flexible. I could not have done it without the support and personal guidance from Judy. I look and feel so much better. Thank you Ideal for not judging or making me feel bad, but encouraging me to keep going!

A Trusted Annual Reset That Works Every Time

Every year, I come back to Ideal Protocol for a 2 to 2.5-month reboot—and every time, it delivers. I just brought myself down from a comfortable 219 to 203 in about 2 months, and now I’m maintaining off the program and feeling great.

What I love is how clean and structured it is. It’s not a gimmick—it’s a system that helps you reset your metabolism, stay accountable, and see real results without the burnout. I’ve done it multiple times and it works, plain and simple.

If you’re looking for a sustainable way to get back in control of your health and weight, I highly recommend giving Ideal Protocol a shot. It’s part of my yearly routine for a reason.

This place is great. I love not having to track calories or any of the hassles of yo-yo dieting. This is the sustainable with weekly check-in. Also, it’s very affordable. You would be surprised how much you save when you’re not eating junk food anymore.

At the end of the day, your health is way more important and you’re going to pay either way. Might as well start today.

I have tried so many things to lose weight but can never stay on it long enough to see a difference. This place has been so great. The food is actually good and it's an easy to follow program. I've learned alot and have got some helpful tools to keep me going. I'm not done with my program yet but I've already lost 40 pounds and am extremely happy. Judy has been amazing with information and helpful advice to keep me going.

This program was amazing! It taught me how to eat all over again and I lost almost 55 lbs in around 14 weeks and it didn't even feel tough. Judy was wonderful and I will continue to go see them once a month for accountability. I highly recommend this program!

Ideal Protein changed my life! I lost 45 lbs and feel great! I was never hungry, because you get so much great IP food plus your lean protein and veg. Judy is amazing! Just the right amount of support and care. Her great demeanor made me so comfortable. I am so very grateful for this program.

After gaining some weight and feeling like no matter what I did, it wouldn't come off, I decided to try Ideal Protein since I have done it in the past and had great results. Judy was by far the best coach I have ever had! She was honest, open, supportive, and I never felt judged. The protocol isn't easy, but with the right guidance you can make it work for you and Judy is just the person to help you on your journey and to get to your goals!!

I never thought I could lose 50 pounds! Here I am 11 months later and have lost 60! Never thought it could be so easy and Judy is the best person to help you with your weight loss needs. Always has great ideas for meals, and always available for any type of counseling or questions in regards to foods. Or medication while you’re on the diet. If I could yell it from the rooftops about how awesome she is, I would. whether you need to lose 5 pounds or 100 pounds Judy is your go to girl

I have struggled with my weight for years. The time and stress crunch of being a full time working mom with kids in school and sports left me putting myself last for too long. A friend of mine lost 38 pounds and looked great as well as happy and told me about Ideal Protocol in Roseville. I signed up the next week and lost 35 pounds and finally found something that works for me! I love the program and Judy is fantastic. She understands life happens and encourages me to keep my life balanced and is there when I need to get back on track! The food is good- there is a cookbook that also uses the IP foods to make great options to help with your cravings. Food prep is key for me but really it should have been before the program too! Supporting a woman owned business is a plus, she gets me!

I love Ideal Protocol! Right when I thought I could not lose my few extra pounds because I had tried everything else I came across Ideal Protocal. I've lost 14 pounds and 14 inches in 10 weeks. I'm grateful to Judy for keeping me on track and coaching me to make good choices. Thank you Judy, you are the best!

Matt and Chip are the best coaches. These two guys have your back 100%, they encourage you, send you daily texts, just very personable. The program is easy and healthy to follow. The food is very good and satisfying. If you stick to the program you will see results in a healthy way quickly. I get so many compliments on the weight loss from all my friends and family (I am down 30 pounds with 10 more to go). My acid reflux is gone!! Plus it is time to buy new clothes...you will be so happy you make this change in your life if you decide to go with Matt and Chip.

I cannot say enough good things about the diet protocol itself, but moreover Chip and Matt, my coaches. They check in all the time and are always available text when I have questions about serving sizes. The food is really good and I don't feel like I'm every going hungry even though it's low in calories. I've lost over 20 lbs. so far and feel so encouraged after trying so many things that weren't working for me.

I found out about Ideal Protocol through friends and joined a year after they had completed their weight loss journey. I have found Chip and Matt to be excellent, enthusiastic, knowledgeable coaches. They know the program well, boosted me up on weeks when pound losses were low but inch losses were high. They are quick to give support, advice or just cheer me along. I recently met my goal and am pushing myself to lose an extra 5lbs. They communicate efficiently and effectively, text reminders, emails and the occasional recipe suggestion. The program itself is a no brainer - just "Follow the Sheet" and the weight falls away. Give it a try, easiest program I've followed ever!

I started with Ideal Protocol 3 weeks ago after seeing a friend have great results from it. I got to a point where I decided I needed to drop some weight (about 80 lbs), lower my blood pressure and blood sugar and just decided it was time to get healthy. It feels like I’ve done every diet out there so I know what I should be eating but just wasn’t doing it.

Chip and Matt are great coaches which totally helps me keep on track. They are so upbeat and positive and knowing that I weigh in each week with them helps me keep on track, resist temptations and stay accountable. They start you off with a nice variety pack that allows you to try the majority of the foods. You will get a feeling for what you like and don’t like so when you shop in the future weeks you can focus on what you prefer.

If you follow the protocol, you pretty much have to lose weight. I really went into this with the mindset of follow it to a T and don’t break protocol. If you do break it and cheat, it might take some time to get back on track. So far in 3 weeks I have dropped 18.2 lbs, 6 inches, my BP has come down 20 points, blood sugar has come down 40%, I’m getting solid sleep through the night and I feel better than I have in years!!

If you are ready to make the commitment, give Chip and Matt a call!

I had been kickboxing consistently for many years but could never get that extra weight off. I searched weight loss programs and came across Ideal Protocol and read the reviews. They were encouraging. I contacted the center in Roseville. Matt was very nice, sent me all kinds of information but was never pushy. When I was ready, I went to visit and began the program. The whole program was explained clearly from how to use the products, when to eat, what to eat, when to take the vitamins, how much water to drink, how to change up the products (Get the cookbook!) So, I began, the weight came off pretty quickly. I lost almost 35 pounds. I did it pretty fast but then stalled out (my own fault – I got careless). Matt and Chip were with me every step and always encouraging. Always asked what they could help with or giving suggestions when I faltered. Never any judgement! Once you get the hang of the program it is soooo easy and very worth the time and money. You will not regret it. Do it for you!! Before I started IP, when I got up in the morning my feet hurt. I had to take a couple of steps before they felt OK. Since losing the weight I have no pain in my feet. I went from a tight size 14 to a very comfortable 10 and am on my way to an 8. I am getting ready to start a boot-camp. I am excited to build up some muscles, tighten up some jiggle areas and fit into those size 8 jeans!! I am treating myself to a pair of jeans from The Buckle when I hit that goal! Do this for you, for your health, and for those you love.

I've tried other diets and exercise programs, but only Ideal Protocol worked quickly and effectively for me (50lbs in 4mos). If you follow the program 100% and stick with it, you will lose the weight. I've been in the maintenance phase for a couple of months after leaving the program, and I'm still within a pound of my target weight even after gorging at Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years parties. I'm eating healthier and can still enjoy the occasional treats.
Matt & Chip are the coaches who I believe made me so successful in losing the weight and keeping it off. They are extremely supportive and positive with a wealth of information and tips. I signed up for their gut health program at the same time, and that was also a great success making me feel better and stronger.

I can't say enough about how great Chip and Matt are at Ideal Protein! I have lost 50+ pounds in 6 months and haven't felt this good in years. I feel good, I look good, I eat well, and I am just starting their gut health program to really amp up my health. It is a GREAT program and it works really fast!! Take charge of your life and give them a call. I promise the program works and the "boys" are not just my cheerleaders/coaches but have become my friends as well.
