What is Ideal Protocol?
Ideal Protocol is a medical weight loss practice with offices in Roseville and Folsom, California. It also offers virtual care nationwide, and a separate Texas virtual option for Texas clients. The business dates its weight-loss experience to 2012.
Its main program is Structured Medical Weight Loss, built on nutrition, weekly coaching, and body composition tracking. It also offers GLP-1 Weight Loss using semaglutide or tirzepatide when clinically appropriate, a Combination Program that pairs the two approaches, a Maintenance program, and wellness services in NAD+, vitamin B12 and glutathione.
No prescriber is named. The business describes its GLP-1 prescriptions as reviewed by U.S.-licensed prescribers and filled through U.S. pharmacies in its network. It has a 5-star rating across 60 Google reviews. The phone number is (916) 781-3322.
This listing is for its Roseville office at 1050 Opportunity Dr Suite 160A.
What does it cost?
Structured Medical Weight Loss starts at $299, which includes the first full week, then runs $155 a week. Each in-clinic check-in is $25, paid at the visit. There is no membership fee.
GLP-1 prices depend on the medication and the length of the plan. Semaglutide is $299 for 4 weeks or $799 for 12 weeks. Tirzepatide is $309 for 4 weeks or $899 for 12 weeks. The 12-week plans are paid upfront.
Its GLP-1 pricing does not match across its materials. One version lists semaglutide at $199 for the first 4 weeks, then $299 every 4 weeks, and tirzepatide at $249 for the first 4 weeks, then $349 to $399 every 4 weeks, depending on dose. That version also reads: "Medication and prescriber review are included in the displayed price." Yet the check-in pricing says medication is separate. Employees of partner companies can get preferred rates, including semaglutide for 12 weeks at $699 and tirzepatide for 12 weeks at $799.
It does not publish a consultation fee, and it does not say whether insurance is accepted.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with the prescription. Ask who signs it, since no prescriber is named. Ask whether the GLP-1 price includes the medication, and which semaglutide starting price applies, $199 or $299. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, since none are listed. Ask whether there is a consultation fee and whether insurance is accepted.
Then ask about ending the arrangement. Month-to-month orders are reviewed and prescribed every 4 weeks, and 12-week plans are paid upfront. Ask what happens to a prepaid plan if you stop early, and how to cancel a month-to-month order. Get those answers in writing before you pay.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want medication-based weight loss, structured nutrition coaching, or both, and you can visit Roseville or Folsom or do most of your care remotely. It is a weaker fit if you need a named prescriber, insurance billing, or a fixed total price before you commit.
