With the support of your personal coach, you’ll stay motivated and on track to meet your health and wellness goals through weekly meetings, available both in-person and virtually.
Under the supervision of your physician and our pharmacist, your progress is medically monitored, ensuring that every step of your journey is safe and effective.

Bremo Pharmacy Nutrition Studio is an authorized Ideal Protein Clinic, offering a protocol that is proven, safe, and effective, with a 25-year track record of helping people reach their weight and wellness goals.
As an accredited Ideal Protein Clinic, we offer a doctor-designed, structured weight loss program that’s simple to follow, featuring a diverse selection of food. Our 3-step program provides a structured, medically supervised path to safe and sustainable weight management, with coaching and support every step of the way.
Begin your weight loss journey with a comprehensive program designed to help you reach your goals safely and effectively. You will receive personalized support, guidance, motivation, and assistance every step of the way from your certified coach, partnered with our pharmacist and your physician. Our structured program offers a range of food options and personalized guidance as you work closely with your coach to strike a balance between hunger, cravings, exercise, and weight loss.
Once you’ve reached your target weight, the stabilization phase helps your body adjust and maintain your results. This step focuses on finding balance, safely reintroducing foods, and managing cravings while continuing to build healthy habits. Your coach will provide strategies for maintaining energy levels, managing nutrition, and strengthening the lifestyle behaviors that will keep your weight steady. Stabilization is all about transitioning from rapid weight loss to sustainable living.
The maintenance phase ensures the progress you’ve made becomes permanent. Through ongoing coaching and support, you’ll learn how to prevent weight regain, fine-tune your nutrition, and integrate lifelong healthy habits. This stage emphasizes long-term well-being, confidence, and energy, allowing you to enjoy the results of your hard work while sustaining a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
