Dr. Kenneth Brooks
As an interventional cardiologist for more than 30 years, Dr. Brooks is certainly aware of the dangers of heart disease as a result of obesity. He has had thousands of patients with high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol, and in turn has written thousands of prescriptions to treat these medical conditions. Over the years, Dr. Brooks has advised patients that weight loss is a key component to improving these ailments and has seen how difficult it is for them to have success on a variety of diets.
After extensive research into weight loss solutions for his patients, Dr. Brooks found Ideal Protein® and introduced it to his colleagues at Cardiac Care. In early 2012, the doctors of Cardiac Care formed The Healthy Weigh Now as a solution to their patients struggling with weight loss and have since seen over 200 patients begin the program.
Lynn Beran
In October 2010, Lynn was introduced to the Ideal Protein method and decided to give it a try to help lose that muffin top which she couldn’t get rid of through exercise or diet. After only four weeks, Lynn had lost 25 pounds! She was pleased to find that her clothes fit better and she was feeling better than ever. Throughout her time on the maintenance program, she has successfully been able to maintain her initial weight loss.
Lynn took her experiences and success and became a coach at an Ideal Protein clinic in February 2011. When The Healthy Weigh Now was launched, Lynn brought her expertise of the protocol and joined the staff as manager and coach. Lynn is excited that she has the opportunity to share the program with all of her patients at The Healthy Weigh Now!
Lynn earned her B.A. in Economics and Sociology from Bucknell University.

Charlene Schaub
Charlene has worked for The Healthy Weigh Now’s sister company, Cardiac Care, for over 15 years as a Registered Nurse. As she watched patients struggle with weight loss and yo-yo-dieting, she struggled right along with them. Stress eating and carbohydrate addiction had taken over her life. When Cardiac Care began working with Ideal Protein in 2012, Charlene had hope that there was finally an answer for her, and for her patients with diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, coronary artery disease and metabolic syndrome.
Over 18 weeks, The Healthy Weigh Now and Ideal Protein helped Charlene shed 54 pounds, 17% of body fat, and a total of 32 inches! She now feels better than ever and has more energy than she has had in years. The arthritis pain in her hips and knees has been greatly reduced; sciatic pain has disappeared. Charlene is now working the maintenance phase of the program and learning to stay healthy.
After seeing fantastic results with Ideal Protein, Charlene wanted to take her experiences to begin coaching others at The Healthy Weigh Now. She enjoys working with her patients who struggle with the same issues and helping them to begin their journey to good health.
