Completely virtual.Your coach is there every step. Personalized nutrition plan + Ideal Protein foods shipped to your door.

This isn’t about fixing your body or proving your worth. It’s about learning what your body actually needs, so progress feels steady and you’re free from the cycle.

A Softer, More Sustainable Approach

You’ve tried a lot, and things are just not working for you.

Confusion around food is exhausting. At Vital Body, we focus on creating a calm, supportive approach that helps you feel steady and informed, not restricted or overwhelmed.

Here’s how: We combine whole foods you prepare (vegetables, lean proteins) with high-quality Ideal Protein foods to create a personalized plan that actually works for your life. Ideal Protein is a doctor-designed protocol that helps your body lose fat efficiently while preserving muscle. Whole foods teach you sustainable habits. Together, they mean you lose weight and learn to keep it off.

Through personalized nutritional guidance, you’ll learn what your body needs, without jumping from one plan to the next. Because cycling through approaches that never quite stick is tiring, and you deserve something more sustainable.

Our Approach

Vital Body is an Ideal Protein-certified clinic since 2011. We combine a doctor-designed weight loss protocol with real food and personalized coaching to help you lose weight, eat naturally, and trust your body again.

For some, that means intentional healthy weight loss. For others, it means stepping out of the constant start-and-stop cycle and creating something more stable. Either way, you’re learning skills that last.

Our approach includes three phases: targeted fat loss, guided stabilization, and ongoing lifestyle support—available as you need it. You don’t have to commit to every stage upfront. Together, we determine the right starting point based on your goals and readiness.

Weight loss is just the beginning.

Weight loss doesn’t have to feel like a battle.
Support matters — wherever you’re starting from.

FAQs

No — you don’t have to commit to a specific number.

At VitalBody, we don’t require you to set a weight goal before you’re ready. Many people come in unsure, tired of chasing numbers, or simply wanting to feel better in their body — and that’s more than enough to begin.

If you do have a goal in mind, your coach will hold it gently and help you approach it in a way that feels realistic and supportive. If you don’t, we’ll focus first on building steadiness with food, supporting your health, and letting clarity come with time.

Everyone’s starting point is different. Our role is to meet you where you are and support you forward — without pressure or rigid expectations.

Vital Body administers a doctor designed weight loss protocol called Ideal Protein. This protocol is based on the physiological principles of the body that allow our clients to lose weight safely, and then learn to maintain that weight loss long-term. Our program has three phases:

Phase 1 is designed to successfully lose excess weight. You can expect to lose 2-3lbs of body fat per week.

Phase 2 is an 8-24 week program that will stabilize your body at your new weight, and ensure your long-term success. You learn how to introduce all food groups into your diet in a sustainable, and healthy way. This phase puts an end to yo-yo dieting.

Phase 3 is the real deal. Maintenance and Lifestyle. It’s less glamorous as there’s no huge transformation or weight loss at this point, but this is the phase where you enjoy your success, and feel truly awesome. The accountability and support of our coaches in this phase lets you dig deep into healthy habits, self-care, planning, and recipes that will work for you according to your unique macro code.

An important component of the protocol is education. As you lose weight, you are also learning the skills and habits needed to create a new lifestyle. Building a new healthy lifestyle, and learning to maintain your new weight long after the weight loss phase is our main priority at Vital Body.

Your program is a mix:

Whole Foods (You Prepare): Vegetables and lean proteins cooked the way you like them. This teaches you real food skills you’ll use forever.

Ideal Protein Foods: High-protein, low-carb meals and snacks (60+ options) that support fat loss and fit busy schedules. Only required during Phase 1 weight loss, but optional in Phases 2 & 3.

Why both? The IP foods do the heavy lifting for fat loss while you’re learning. Real food teaches you how to eat long-term. That’s why people actually keep the weight off.

Many people are surprised to discover that our recommended exercise is limited to walking and stretching and some light resistance training while in the weight loss phase of our program. A lot of people believe that rigorous exercise is needed to lose weight, but that’s just not true! If you already have a routine you love, discuss with your coach how we can incorporate it into your program.

This might seem strange at first, but it’s important to note that our medical protocol is designed to help you lose weight without starvation or excessive hunger, and generate successful fat loss without compromising your lean muscle mass.

A lot of people are concerned they won’t have enough time to follow this program. But we know what happens to our health and wellbeing when we don’t prioritize it…this is often why our clients end up with excessive weight and unhealthy eating patterns in the first place.

Adopting new habits and a new way of living and eating will take some time, but it’s time well spent. This program helps you put yourself first, and realize that your health and happiness is worth the time investment.

Vital Body gives you a structured and easy to follow program, so that you save time on wondering what or when to eat, and simply follow your unique personalized plan.

Traveling while on the plan is possible, and many clients have had continued success while traveling. Your weekly check in with a coach will only take 15 minutes, making it very easy to squeeze into jam-packed schedules.

What’s Included in Your Weekly Coaching:

  • Personal coaching sessions (15 min/week, more as needed and when transitioning)
  • Access to Ideal Protein app
  • Ideal Protein foods shipped to your door
  • Personalized nutrition guidance – no rigid meal plans
  • Expect to lose 2-3 lbs of body fat per week in Phase 1

Phase 1 (Fat Loss): $175/week | Phase 2 (Stabilization): $120/week | Phase 3 (Maintenance): $50/week

Most of our clients report saving money on our weight loss and wellness program because they are eliminating expensive bills from eating out. This program is unlikely to cost much more than what you currently spend on food.

You’re not the only one who felt this way.

In January of 2023 I had reached the highest weight ever, 5'2" and 188 pounds. After being awake for about 2 hours, I was ready to go back to bed. I knew I had to do something so I set out to look for a program that was easy, fast, and included accountability. I set up a meeting with Theresa-Marie Rousseau, a certified Ideal Protein Coach at my local Pharmasave. That was the best thing I could have done for my health. I found the program easy to follow and fast. The first week I lost 3.6 pounds and the second week I lost 3.6 pounds. I was amazed. The weight loss continued steadily and by August I had lost 36.4 lbs. I continue to maintain my weight loss to date. I contribute my success to my excellent coach Theresa-Marie. She inspired me and kept me accountable. She was the right balance of toughness and support which is what I needed. I could be pretty negative and stubborn but respectfully she didn't let me get away with selling out on myself. I learned valuable information about my relationship to food. When times were tough she gave me a quote that became my mantra "You haven't come this far to only go this far." I feel so good about how I look and feel. I'm so thankful. Do yourself a favour and don't wait. Join now.

Life changing for me! I joined in January 2023. I am a woman in my fifties and I had 20 lbs to lose. I was skeptical yet hopeful. 8 weeks later, I not only had my 20lbs off but my life was transformed. I maintained my goal weight for the last year! I could go on for hours because that’s how much my life changed! Thank you to Zan & her amazing team!!

I am a repeat customer of Vital Body. The program has been updated and I find it easier to understand and put into practice. Or maybe I was just really ready this time. :) I lost almost 18 pounds in about 3 months! Just as important, my joints hurt way less, I'm less fatigued and the brain fog has lifted. My coach, Em, has been super encouraging and I appreciate the weekly coaching structure, as it keeps me accountable while I build new habits, like making a week's worth of breakfasts at the start of each week. If you want to lose weight, feel better and be well supported along the way, sign up for the Vital Body today.

I have been working with Zan and Em at Vital Body since the end of May 2023. I have lost 45 pounds and 45 inches in 4.5 months. I have a busy lifestyle, and wanted a program that would be easy to follow and would educate me about nutrition so I could maintain my new found sense of health and wellness. I work in the food and hospitality industry, and am a lover of good food, fresh ingredients, and dining out. I wasn't convinced that I would do well eating the Ideal Protein foods supplemented throughout the day on top of the required amount whole foods, but I did! I actually eat a lot more food than previous, am cooking way more (and enjoying it), and with a few hacks I am able to create tasty meals out of the IP foods, plus the IP snacks and water enhancers are pretty good. I am now three weeks into phase 2, and feel equipped and excited about the next leg of my journey. I will go back to phase 1 after the holidays as I still want to drop a few more but for now, I am feeling refreshed, lighter, and have more energy than I have in years.

I am a hardworking man with a busy family so it’s hard to find time to eat properly. A lot of the time I would grab breakfast when I grab a coffee in a drive through, then grab a lunch maybe a drive through- I wanted something “taste good”and filling, and for dinner probably Earls. We wanted to change so for a while our family ordered dinners from Hello Fresh that we could prepare in about 45 min. That helped bit to break eating out. One day I decided it was time to take better care of my health, I am 6-1 and 275 pounds but very active and my back was bugging me and I was tired of looking fat. I met Zan through a business coach I use and he had great success in his life changes so I figured I would give it a go. My experience of Ideal protein is the value of the coach is equally responsible for your success, I worked the program for 6 months and lost 70 pounds, the plan was way to easy to follow as they provide most your food. Minimal prep time and the food it pretty tasty. I had to make a lean dinner with vegetables but the results I was getting kept me motivated. I think the part that has the most value for me is that Zan has been patient with some of my choices, she stands in my future success and had shown me how to keep the weight off by learning how to give my body what it needs. Any time I have a craving it was due to not enough fat in my diet. On holidays and family trips Zan would always help build a plan so I could enjoy some fancy restaurants and sweet tooth’s like in Disneyland. What I’m trying to say is that this organization is committed to stripping the extra weight, and then get you eating in a way that supports keeping the weight off. I will tell you I am not perfect, I would drink beer, have sweets, but Zan would always work with me to find out why and show me better choices. I highly recommend Ideal Protein.

The Ideal Protein Program at Vital Body Weight Loss and Wellness has been a game-changer for me. The weekly on-line coaching sessions with Em are amazing, she’s brilliant, providing the necessary motivation and guidance to navigate me through through my weight loss journey, 15 minutes is really never long enough for us, we could literally talk for hours! One of the best aspects of this program is its focus on sustainable weight. This approach ensures that the weight loss is not just temporary, but a long-term lifestyle change. Overall, I would highly recommend the Ideal Protein Program to anyone looking to embark on a weight loss journey. It’s not just a diet, it’s a lifestyle change!
