At Ideal Protocol, we use a precisely designed weight loss protocol that focuses on how modern food affects the brain and metabolism. Processed foods are engineered with sugar, oil, and salt to stimulate dopamine and drive cravings — making weight loss feel like a constant battle of willpower.
Our program combines personalized coaching, and real food strategies to help calm this cycle. When appropriate, appetite support can be used as a tool to reduce cravings and support appetite regulation while healthy habits are rebuilt.
We meet with you weekly, track your body composition, monitor hydration and electrolytes, and guide you step-by-step toward sustainable lifestyle change — not quick fixes or crash diets.
Most diets focus on short-term restriction. You white-knuckle your way through, see some progress, then life happens and the weight comes back. We take a different approach. Our program is built around metabolic reset and mindset transformation, not just cutting calories. We combine structured nutrition, science-based protocols, and real human support in a way that’s designed to work in the real world.
We combine whole foods with specially formulated meal replacements to shift your body from sugar-burning to fat-burning, while protecting lean body mass.
Weekly coaching plus daily content via text help you untangle emotional eating, manage stress, and rewrite old patterns around food.

No obligation. No pressure. Just answers.
I'm proud that I committed to my Amazing Transformation because I now have an unstoppable energy and a belief in myself that I can accomplish anything! I feel better now at 61 than I did at 16 years old! I feel that the Ideal Protocol program and my team at Barnes Chiropractic Health & Fitness have been a gift from God that has given me a new life!
I now have control of my weight and I feel so much better. I wish I’d done it a lot earlier in my life. I feel very much younger than what my driver’s license says.
Now I love my reflection, my confidence level, and my energy. I’m putting my best self out there to encourage others to succeed as I have. I now enjoy shopping and I’m not trying to find something “flattering.” I no longer hide behind my kids or the dog in photos.
Disclaimer: Individual results vary. Your coach will discuss realistic expectations based on your history and goals.
No — the program is designed to work through nutrition structure, habit change, and coaching support first.
Some clients choose to add extra appetite support as part of their plan, but many succeed without it.
If you’re a good candidate for additional support, we’ll talk through it together during your consultation.
Progress looks different for everyone because starting point, metabolism, and consistency all vary.
Many clients begin noticing positive changes as they follow the structure and build sustainable habits over time.
Our focus isn’t just the number on the scale — it’s helping you develop a healthier relationship with food and routines you can maintain long-term.
The true goal is beyond the number on the scale — it’s learning to adopt a new mindset around food, which is what our coaching focuses on.
No — our program is a private, coaching-based service rather than an insurance-billed medical visit.
This allows longer appointments, personalized support, and consistent guidance instead of rushed care.
Most clients find the structure and accountability deliver far more value than a typical covered visit.
We work with clients nationwide through virtual coaching.
For those who prefer face-to-face support, we also offer local coaching offices in Roseville, Folsom, Sacramento, and Elk Grove, California.
We’ll respond within one business day to help you schedule a time that works for you.
Success Stories
I would tell my mom that I cannot let you be afraid that you’re going to lose me…. I knew that (Ideal Protocol) was the answer I needed so that I could tell my mother that she didn’t have to worry about me anymore.
