About Us
Our Story
Ideal Weight Loss of Ellensburg is an independent authorized clinic approved by Ideal Protein to promote The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method.
Our dedicated coaches provide personalized ongoing support, education and progress analysis on a weekly basis during weight loss and beyond. We have an effective FREE maintenance plan to help our clients keep the weight off and live a new healthy lifestyle. Our highest priority is the health of our patients, so they are advised to check in with their prescribing physician regarding possible medication adjustments within the first 30 days and every 20 pounds thereafter; sooner if symptoms warrant.
We are excited and privileged to help our clients achieve a healthy weight, improve their medical issues, and discontinue costly prescription medications. Over the last 12 years, we have helped our local clients lose >75,000 pounds and >50,000 inches!
