Are you frustrated that your body does not respond to “diet and exercise” to lose weight like everyone says it should? Have you given up on losing weight and decided you are just stuck being overweight and feeling miserable for the rest of your life?

This is how I felt back in 2015 before I found the Ideal Protein protocol! Like many, I was stressed out with my professional career and life in general and I turned to food for comfort and happiness. Then one day when I was disgusted with myself and tried to lose weight the way I always had before…by eating less and exercising more. This time however, it did not work! I realized I had gone too far this time and I had “broken” my metabolism and I had no idea what to do! So, I gave up and resigned myself to a life of obesity and symptoms.

Then I had a chiropractic patient lose 70 pounds on the Ideal Protein protocol with his cardiologist’s office! It was at that moment I knew there was an answer, and I knew if he could do it so could I! The more I read about the program the more it made absolute sense to me. Not only did I start to lose weight immediately in my first week, but my energy returned, aches and pains melted away, and the brain fog I was experiencing lifted!

Fast forward 7 years later and I have shifted my practice away from chiropractic to the practice of Ideal Protein nutrition for the final chapter of my professional career! I now see the Ideal Protein protocol as the answer I was praying for both personally and professionally for so many years.

Through my own personal journey, and now hundreds of our clients, I have seen that weight loss is the gateway to personal transformation. It has now become my mission, and the mission of my team here at Reset Wellness, to empower as many people as possible to “Reset What is Possible for their Health, Fitness, and Life” through nutrition and one-on-one transformational coaching.

Ideal Protein Coach

Do you feel more and more confused about how nutrition plays a role in your energy levels, symptoms, and health in general? Does the conflicting nutritional advice we get from the media, news and your doctors leave you frustrated with no idea what to eat?

This is how I felt before I did the Ideal Protein protocol with Dr. Barnes back in 2015 when we were first starting to offer it in our clinic. When I went through the program, I was amazed at how much better I felt and how I was losing weight! But more importantly I became educated about why this nutritional approach worked and what foods worked best for my metabolism!

Now, as a certified Ideal Protein coach at Reset Wellness, I get to help others who feel like I did by teaching them this invaluable information so they too can enjoy losing weight, feeling great and what foods work best for their bodies to maintain this healthy lifestyle!

When you are finally ready to learn how to control your own energy, weight, and health, call us and get started!!! I will be here to help you!!!

Kathy Droppa

Ideal Protein Coach

Have you felt you have been at war with your body and felt crushed by the ever-increasing

weight gains.

I began my schooling as a chubby toddler and every year the pounds kept adding

up and up and it was no longer cute. I was made fun of and was ashamed and disgusted with

myself. Over the years I tried every diet program I could find attempting to claw my way out of

the pit that just would not let me escape.

When I hit 400 lbs. I was so desperate I underwent gastric bypass surgery. I did give me some results; however, I had no real sustainable answers. I was still far from being happy and healthy. Still plagued with weight I could not get rid of.

In 2016 I was introduced to Dr. Barnes. Because of his testimony to the transformation he

experienced through the Ideal Protein Protocol, I decided to try it. Yes, it works!!! I dropped over

100 lbs. that year. The weight loss was thrilling, but improvements in my health felt even better.

Diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, digestive issues and joint aches and pains were

eradicated. Now, I feel and am happier and healthier than ever.

What makes this program so sustainable is the tri focus approach, The food protocol is

convenient to follow, the nutritional and body chemistry education gives understanding of the

whys, and a truly compassionate and knowledgeable coaching staff that guides, encourages

and yes, admonishes change when you needed.

Have I been a perfect client. No, I too struggle at times Throughout the last ten years I have

experienced some ups and downs on the scale, but all the knowledge and understanding of

myself and why the protocol works brings freedom to be me. It is not a diet, but a lifestyle and I

am now able to truly say life, abundant life is possible.

Terri Johnson

Ideal Protein Coach

I grew up in Southern California in the 70s and 80s, spending most of my childhood outside—barefoot, swimming, biking, and playing soccer from age five through college. Healthy eating and staying active were just part of life, and looking back, I was probably practicing intermittent fasting long before I knew what it was.

College shifted those habits fast. I traded balanced meals for the classic student diet—pizza, fries, sugar, and plenty of late-night drinks. I stayed relatively thin, but I struggled with severe migraines and unusually high cholesterol, which confused every doctor I saw.

As the years went on, my health challenges stacked up: thyroid and kidney cancers, celiac disease, atrial fibrillation, gallbladder issues, IBS, and ongoing high cholesterol. In my late forties, I gained 45 pounds in five months with no real explanation—and no helpful guidance beyond “that’s just aging” or suggestions for weight-loss medication.

Determined to figure things out for myself, I became a certified holistic nutritionist. Low-carb and keto approaches consistently helped, but eventually I needed something clearer, more structured, and truly science-based.

That’s when I found Ideal Protein. The protocol not only helped me lose weight, it finally gave me a real understanding of metabolic health and insulin resistance. Addressing insulin resistance changed everything, and the simplicity and safety of Ideal Protein made it sustainable.

My own transformation inspired me to become an Ideal Protein Coach so I can help others finally understand their bodies, regain their confidence, and live fuller, healthier lives.

When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me with my family, my husband, our four grown kids scattered across the country, and our two rescue dogs. I love reading, cooking (and collecting cookbooks), yoga, Pilates, traveling, and I’m a bit of a true-crime junkie when it comes to books, podcasts, and documentaries.
