Matt Parker
Wellness Director
In 2010, Matt Parker discovered the Ideal Protein weight loss protocol after seeing impressive results among friends. Intrigued, he attended a UCSF lecture that revealed flaws in traditional dieting methods, inspiring him to open a certified Ideal Protein clinic.
To gain firsthand experience, Matt followed the protocol for a month, losing 20 pounds and 5% body fat. Beyond physical transformation, he experienced heightened energy, improved sleep, and enhanced mental clarity—convincing him to dedicate his career to metabolism and weight management.
Between 2010 and 2011, Matt and his partners launched three Ideal Protein clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area. By 2012, he founded Ideal Protocol Metabolism and Weight Management in Roseville, CA, later expanding to Folsom and Sacramento with partner Chip Whatley in 2015. As owner and Wellness Director until 2021, Matt coached thousands of clients, resulting in over 33,000 pounds lost.
In summer 2021, Matt relocated to Texas and launched Ideal Plan – Metabolism and Weight Management, continuing his mission to transform lives through nutrition education and sustainable weight loss. He ran 2 clinics in the N Dallas area – Frisco and Allen TX. While in Texas Judy Lagana purchased Ideal Protocol and ran it from 2021 – 2024.
In August 2024, Matt returned to CA and joined Judy to continue running Ideal Protocol. In November of 2024, we opened our fourth CA clinic in Elk Grove. We also continue to service remote clients in Texas and across the United States.
JUDY LAGANA
Wellness Director
As Wellness Director across our four Ideal Protocol locations, I bring firsthand experience in the program, having followed it for over 15 years. I understand the challenges of weight management and am committed to guiding clients toward their best results through personalized coaching.
With a background in business and accounting, I’ve spent my career helping people and solving problems. As a former corporate manager for a large California health chain, I opened multiple clubs, trained staff, and handled customer relations for 78 locations. I also became a certified personal trainer to better support clients in their fitness journeys.
Outside of work, I love camping in my fifth wheel, paddleboarding, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. Life is short—every day is a good day!
