Our focus and passion is to help you live a healthier, more vibrant life from the inside out. We specialize in weight loss, using the Ideal Protein Protocol. Ideal Protein is a medically designed and supervised, partial meal-replacement, ketogenic protocol. The protocol works by restricting your carbohydrate consumption, to encourage your body to use its fat stores for energy. This flip of the fuel source helps you maintain muscle throughout weight loss, so you can burn more fat.

Virginia Heart is an independent authorized Ideal Protein Clinic.
What is Ideal Protein? Ideal Protein is a medically designed and professionally supervised weight loss protocol intended to improve overall health and wellness through successful weight loss and weight maintenance. It is a 3-phased protocol that helps you set, achieve and maintain your weight loss goals.
Maintaining Your Weight Loss
Once weight loss is achieved by following the Ideal Protein protocol, we will transition to stabilization and then maintenance. Patients will continue to work with their wellness coach who will tailor stabilization and maintenance to each individual's needs. In stabilization, we begin removing the meal replacements and add in whole foods such as complex carbohydrates, whole grains, starchy vegetables, fruit, healthy fats like avocado, nuts and seeds, and incorporate lean proteins. As the patient gains confidence and comfortability in their new lifestyle the transition to maintenance will begin. Phase 3 is the removal of all meal replacements and mirrors a heart healthy Mediterranean diet. Through every step, a coach is there to providing individualized meal suggestions/recipes, and lifestyle tips to provide an empowering lifelong change!
