A program fitted to your life.
I approach your program the way a tailor approaches a fitting. I start with your health, your routine, your food preferences and your training experience. Then I build around them. The program should fit your life, and you should understand what you are doing and why.
Three rules hold everything together. Evidence over enthusiasm: if a protocol cannot survive peer review, it does not enter your plan. Habits over hacks: nothing I prescribe should take more than ninety days to stop being a program and start being how you live. And coach, never shame: you do not need motivation, you need a system that fits and someone who notices when it stops fitting.

About Diego Botezelli →From your first assessment to your weekly review.
In person, the assessment is measured three ways: bioimpedance, ultrasound where recommended, and indirect calorimetry. Online, photographs and measurements take its place, and the program runs two weeks longer.
Understand your starting point
We review your health history, current routine and goals. In person, your assessment includes body-composition testing and indirect calorimetry to measure your resting energy expenditure. Ultrasound is used where recommended.
Build your plan together
We spend about an hour working through the practical details. I then write your nutrition and training program personally, and send it on a Friday, within five business days.
Review and adjust
You send a weekly report. I review it myself, answer your questions on WhatsApp within 24 business hours, and change your training block as your body responds.
Bioimpedance Lean mass, fat mass and hydration, in about a minute. 
Ultrasound Fat and muscle thickness by site, where recommended. 
Indirect calorimetry Your resting energy expenditure, measured rather than estimated.
Real clients. Measured progress.
I highly recommend Dr. Botezelli. He is consistently available, follows up after sessions, and demonstrates deep knowledge that has helped me build my body safely and effectively.

of clients continue beyond three programs.
Most of my current clients have been working with me for more than a year.
I write your program. I review your progress.
Every program is written by me, from our conversation and your assessment. No template, no assistant, no AI.
Every weekly report comes to me. Your WhatsApp questions come directly to me, with a reply within 24 business hours. Friday is the day new programs go out, so that is the one day I am heads-down writing.
After twelve weeks you come back, we measure again, and we decide the next cycle together.
For people using GLP-1 medication
Nutrition and strength support during GLP-1 treatment.
If you are using Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound, your nutrition and training need attention as your weight changes. I build your plan around your treatment, your appetite and your strength, with the aim of losing fat while keeping the muscle you have.
In person, the program includes four bioimpedance assessments, indirect calorimetry and monthly lean-mass check-ins. It complements the care of your prescribing clinician. It never replaces it.
What would you like to work on?
One program for each goal, in person in Port Coquitlam or online. Elite adds more time with me, in person only.
Weight Well
A nutrition and strength plan built around your routine. In person over 12 weeks or online over 14.
Lean & Strong
A periodized strength block written around how you already train, with the nutrition to support it. In person or online.
Elite
Four in-person assessments, six bi-weekly 30-minute review calls and three EMG-guided form sessions with me. Choose either goal. In person only.
Full refund within seven days of purchase, if your program has not started.
Payment plans are offered at checkout. Taxes apply. Online available across Canada, the US, Brazil, and Europe.
How hard will it be to get results?
Think of Formula 1. I am the engineer and you are the driver. I build the car and use your feedback to make adjustments. You do the training, follow the nutrition plan, and tell me when something is difficult. It takes consistent work. My job is to make that work clear and realistic for your life.
How fast will I see results?
I'm on Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro. Do you work with that?
What's the difference between online and in person?
I don't live in Vancouver. Does that matter?
What's the refund policy?
Can I just buy the nutrition plan without coaching?
