I've been with Jumpstart for the past 2 years and I rejoined after veering off course a few months ago. On Friday, I met with Jonica and i was really all over the place as it had been an overwhelming and emotional week since my dad was in the hospital. Admitting that I was not on course felt embarrassing at first (as I was back to cheating on my diet due to the stress), but Jonica was amazing (as she always is)! She was kind, patient and understanding and we talked about my issues with motivation and finding my why was finally staring at me. It was a though I had a supportive therapy session in 15 mins. Everyone I have met over the course of the year has been professional, kind and helpful in achieving my goals. Summer is amazing and is the queen of multi tasking Thank you Jumpstart for supporting me in my health goals. I truly feel supported and you're helping me to stay away from unnecessary doctor visits Amarjit read more

Nice place, everyone is very friendly! If you're looking for some weight loss or HRT give this place a try. I was highly impressed with their services. read more

My husband and I been members of Jumpstart MD for almost two years, and it has truly been a positive and empowering health journey. The program goes far beyond weight loss -- the consistent support, guidance, and accountability from both our clinician and nutritionist have made a lasting difference in how we approach our health. One of the things we've appreciated most is the personal connection. We've had the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with team members like Summer and Jonica, as well as others who have since moved on but still left a lasting impact on our progress and mindset. Their encouragement, expertise, and genuine care helped us stay motivated and confident in reaching our health goals. Jumpstart MD feels supportive, professional, and truly invested in long-term success. We're grateful for the experience and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a thoughtful, structured, and compassionate approach to better health. read more

I absolutely love Jumpstart MD Burlingame. I started my weight loss journey with them back in 2023 and they have been instrumental to me losing my 30lbs. The clinicians have always been top notch, especially Jonica Kao. Jonica listens, collaborates, and will always support her patients. They have been very flexible with my schedule, which I'm beyond grateful for. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you, Jumpstart MD Team! I'm forever grateful! read more

I have been going the Jumpstart MD for the past year and a half. The people that work here are amazing. They are very supportive, positive, and attentive. Their support has kept my weight loss on track. Summer at the front desk is great and is always on top of everything. This place is amazing and I highly recommend it. read more

This place is so great. I have lost 40 lbs in two years - taking it slow. They have great vitamin injections. Neat supplements.

33 lbs down from when I started 3 months ago and feeling so much better. The receptionist Summer is always super accommodating from giving you heads up on parking to squeezing you for appointments. Jonica has been awesome in helping me navigate different vacations to bachelor parties and with nutritional guidance and supplemental recommendations that actually work. They pull your labs so they know exactly how to achieve your goals without putting your health and mental state at risk. They aren't only looking at the present but what it is 10-20 years ahead based on family history and current risk factors. I am thankful for this team and look forward to the next 10 lbs. While they give you all the tools and guidance, you still have to be disciplined and not go off the rails. They do their part and if you do yours, you'll knees will thank you every day. read more

I have been a member for over a year. Everyone is so friendly, kind and professional. I look forward to my visits. I'm now on maintenance and only go once a month. I sincerely miss my weekly visits. It's the best program out there! read more

Jumpstart has been a godsend for me! After having 2 kids during Covid I was at my heaviest at over 25lbs above my pre pregnancy weight. I was determined to lose weight by myself post pregnancy however after about 2 years of trying, unfortunately my weight was not budging. My sister recommended me to Jumpstart and since I began in April I was able to gradually lose the 25 lbs in order to get back to my normal weight. Now 6 months later, I can feel great and be able to maintain my weight in a confident, and efficient way by sticking to a healthy diet and regular exercise. Thank you so much Jumpstart team, I wouldn't have been able to do this without all your help and encouragement:) read more

I love this place with a passion. If you are a middle-aged woman and wanna lose weight, feel vital regain your glow, sexuality, and beauty run here. Everyone I have sent here among my friends is just so grateful. They are the best and have your well-being at the heart of everything they do. read more

Amazing staff. Caring people. Excellent results!!! A wonderful place to support you on a weight loss journey.

This is a wonderful program. The support in my weight loss journey has been amazing. The staff is welcoming and supportive. I am so happy to be able to recommend this Burlingame group. I will be forever grateful for the support I have received to get to a healthier place in my life! read more

Jump Start MD in Burlingame is fantastic. Summer does a great Job handling the front. She is so efficient and friendly. Having Jonica come on board as the Clinician Manager, has been a game changer. The difference extremely noticeable. She is a very dedicated, companionate, and supportive advocate. I could not be happier with my experience. read more

Jumpstart MD is amazing and has changed my life. They have helped me and lovingly guided me through losing 100+ lbs. their knowledge and education are top notch. I am also a BHRT program member and let's talk about life changing! Jumpstart Burlingame office you guys are the BEST. Highly recommend! read more

Review of the Weight Loss Program: I was a member at JumpstartMD in 2013 and lost 30 pounds in just a few weeks. The lifestyle changes they teach you help you to keep this weight off, this is not a fad diet. I kept it off for years, but in the last couple of years, I have been struggling with my weight from the start of COVID, like most, so of course, my go-to place is JumpstartMD! I rejoined in March and just need to share that the program and the staff are amazing!!! From their Lead NP, Adrian Krutz, to their Nutritionists, Lisa and Afsi, to their Billing Dept., Margie, and last but not least, Christina, their clinic Coordinator, they are truly exceptional, supportive, uplifting, positive, and effective. I look forward to seeing them all! Review of the BHRT Program: I have also been going through perimenopause for several years, and my PCP told me four years ago that I was too young and there were "no tests" to check whether I'm in perimenopause. After joining the weight loss program, I inquired about the BHRT, which I never heard about before. All I can say is WOW! First, they run a panel of all your hormones. Once the results are back, then you have your initial consultation where Adrian goes into detail about the results and options. It was extremely educational. From there, you come up with a plan and test the hormone levels again in about 6 weeks to reevaluate. I can honestly say that this program has changed my life for the better thanks to JumpstartMD!! I am sleeping better, have more energy throughout the day, and truly have my mojo back! Seriously, just do it!!! It is soooo worth it to do this through Jumpstart, as they have the specialized training it takes to get you back on track with your hormone levels and feel better overall!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Adrian, Afsi, Lisa, and Christina! I am so grateful for you all! read more

Jumpstart is an amazing program! Everyone in the Burlingame office is super friendly. I have lost 13 lbs in my first month and feel GREAT. The weekly meetings hold me accountable and the clinicians are super supportive. I recommend this to anyone who wants to loose weight or even anyone who wants to better understand how their diet affects their body. Thank you to Alexis and Manny for all the help and guidance so far. read more

I was very excited to join Jumpstart and begin losing weight. Sadly, none of their promises came true. The staff is quite perky and very good at sticking to their scripts. They are not as good at looking at you as an individual person. The diet is totally keto, even though they say it's not. I was always hungry, tired, nauseous and constantly thinking about food: what to buy, how to track it, what to cook. But mostly, I felt ignored. After three weeks I had only lost 5 pounds (I didn't cheat) and no one cared. Rahwe, the manager, told me to contact her at any time, she was here to help. She never responded to email. I was never given a valid link to their website to get recipes. No one ever answers the phone. The front desk person was rude. On my first visit, I arrived early. She said, in a snotty tone, "you're early. Everyone's at lunch. You'll have to wait." It's an expensive program when your insurance doesn't pay. Can not recommend this particular site. read more

JumpstartMD changed my life. If this plan can work for me, anyone can do it. The staff/clinicians here are personable, knowledgeable, and encouraging. There is little room left for uncertainty with the thorough amount of information and explanations of the plan that are given. The plan is keto based, and incorporates appetite suppressants and physical activity- basically helping you reset and create a new, healthy way of life. This is a one-on-one, individualised program, with options for additional supplements and use of high-tech body scanning devices. I began this program at 206 pounds, and today I am 169.3 lbs. I owe where I am at to the people at Jumpstart. Without their support and them holding me accountable, it wouldn't have been possible. Don't let anything get in the way of you bettering yourself- check out JumpstartMD in Burlingame. You will NOT regret it. read more

I honestly cannot recommend this program and specifically this location enough! I've tried so many diets, plans, programs, etc. and JumpstartMD, and the people, have changed my life. I joined in late February and have slowly and consistently lost weight, feeling better everyday. I'm down 45 lbs. I don't think I could have done it without the amazing care and support from Afsi and Adrian. I look forward to seeing Afsi every week, and know I will leave there feeling motivated and ready to take on another healthy week! Thank you!! read more

Wow well since I was new, I didn't know who was the clinician and who wasn't. Nore did I read the fine print. That you had to see a clinician two times a month, for your PPO insurance plan, to reimburse you for 60% of your office visit. I'm very disappointed. The billing was not explain more clearly. Or I would have done everything to make sure I saw a clinician twice that month . Unfortunately this has costed me $778 for onl 2 months, and I attempted to quit after just the 3 visit, on my 1st full month, and was convinced to stay one more week. And when I tried to quit they told me that I was already billed for the fallowing month and they could not reimburse me, what I was already charged for the following month. Well all I could do is warn others not to make this mistake. Sorry that I ever signed up for jump start not for the people I saw during office visits they were all nice, But for the billing and super high price, And advance charges are just not fair for a Dr visit. I was not able to cancel. Which basically forced me to come in for two visits in one month just so that they can bill my insurance company, so that I wouldn't lose my refund. This is ridiculous. I'll be putting in a complaint to my insurance company as well, to tell them all this and advance payment for office visits. Disappointed to say the least. Not to mention Keto diet, pills and shots, was not for me! Gave me stomach issues!! read more

Hi everyone!!! I feel so happy & grateful that I found the Jumpstart program!! It is so much more than just a fad diet!! It is a program that supports healthy weight loss ,& health in general. It works ,you see results quickly & the hunger really diminishes! I truly believe it could help so many people struggling with health conditions too!!! It's personal & kind!Monitored & safe!!! Everyone there are beautiful caring human beings!! From the sweet front receptionist, to the clinicians!! And to Alexis,the nurse,all I can say, is her genuine,supportive,knowledge & caring personality, sets her apart, just beautiful!! If you need a "jump" on ur health & weight, give it a try.. we are worth it!! Here's to everyone becoming the best version of themselves!! With appreciation, Terri read more

When it's time, it's time and I am so thankful for JumpstartMD. I am so happy with my results after only 1 month! I have lost almost 17 pounds. Alexis Kofoed along with the rest of the staff is amazing! So encouraging, so helpful, so thorough! I really like that they do testing in the beginning and go over the results with you. Weekly check-ins keep you accountable. I just had my 5th week health assessment and it was eye opening and inspiring! My goal is to get off my meds and at the rate I am going, it will happened! Don't expect results if you are not all in BUT, if you're ready to go for it - this is the place for you! Real food, real results! It's not a diet, but a new way of life! Getting healthy for life!! read more

I've been doing this program for over a month and this is how I perceive it: No carbs High protein Eat very small amounts of food 5 times per day Drink a lot of water Take appetite suppressants (phentermine) See a "health coach" every week at their office and pick up your 7 phentermine pills for the next week $388 per month I definitely see how people lose weight. Taking phentermine makes you not eat, if you don't eat you will lose weight. I personally am not overly impressed and think it's insanely overpriced. read more

Waste of money and time. I am terribly disappointed in this program. I am someone who came to Jumpstart looking for a tangible and a sustainable weight loss program. Unfortunately, I was met with an unattainable diet "plan" and diet pills. I was herded in and out of my appointments with little support. Jumpstart told me I would be on Keto without understanding my journey with food, weight gain, and weight loss. I was HUNGRY, on pills, given shots, and tired (diet pills can cause insomnia) for $400 a month. When I raised concerns about what the diet pills were doing to my body they were denied and dismissed. I left early and thankful I didn't pay any more as it wasn't for me. read more

The Jumpstart BHRT program quite literally saved my life. After years of crushing fatigue and doctors who said "You're just busy," or "just getting older," I found this group of amazing, bada$$ women who are smart as heck and really LISTEN. With their help I've gone from struggles with brain fog, muscle aches, low drive to succeed, etc. to the "me" I knew was in there from years ago! The Jumpstart team is knowledgeable-- super knowledgeable. They all have years and years of experience with weight loss (and hormone replacements, for the BHRT team). I love walking in and being welcomed by name. I've gotten to know the team in the past six months and they all bring a warm, kind approach to topics that can carry a lot of stigma. Anyone looking to feel GOOD, not just "ok," should check them out. I'm not exaggerating when I say the tools and help provided by Jumpstart allowed me to improve my marriage, my relationship with family, my job, everything. read more

Jumpstart MD in Burlingame has given me the tools needed to not only lose weight but be healthier. The staff have been very informative both during my weekly sessions and responding to emails during the week to answer questions I had. Adrian Krutz the center manager and all the health coaches have been supportive regarding my weight lose, eating habits and medical issues I was wanting to address. In 6 months I have lost 35 pounds. I credit my success to everyone at Jumpstart MD Burlingame for pushing me through during some tough times keeping me on track and always encouraging me. The program is a lifestyle change. read more

I have lost 80 pounds in 12 months. I struggled for 30 years with weight and was about to get the surgery as I was desperate. A coworker had success with Jumpstart MD so I luckily choose the Burlingame office to see what it was all about. Ann Marie has been the best support, mentor and advisor through this journey. I wouldn't trade my experience with Ann Marie, her staff and Jumpstart for any other way of getting this weight off me!! I had given up. I feel SO confident, secure and happy now. I feel even better than I did 30 years ago before I ballooned up over 200 lbs. I know I won't put it back on ever. Ann Marie and Jumpstart saved and changed my life. read more

Started Jumpstart 5 weeks ago, and am down over 20lbs. I was ready to get healthier, and feel better over all. The diet makes sense; and is easier than u may think. Not really a diet per se; but a mindful look on how u approach ur eating habits. A lot of what I did was habit, and a big part of that, is eating when u really aren't hungry. The staff at the Burlingame location is stellar and very supportive, as I'm sure all locations are. A Shout out to Lexis, Theresa , Mani & Joy. U all have been a huge help in ur individual ways. Thank god I finally did something for me :) read more

It has been an incredible year and it also has been a very challenging one. The times when challenges seem to be winning, it makes me think of all the positive events and gifts of this year. Then the stress and the struggles seem to go back to where they came from. I have decided to lose weight this year because I was very tired of my doctor telling me how bad my blood test results are. It was very discouraging. There were always no changes. My cardiologist figuratively gave up on me the previous year because I was not going anywhere. Then I found a number of friends and family in my life who have decided to travel the fitness route. They had amazing results and life changing accomplishments that it inspired me. I admit I needed help. So I got into a medical program and began my journey. With the referral of my doctor, I started going to JumpstartMD and have been going to the Burlingame office. They helped with my diet specifically helping me with my food choices in spite of the obstacles I've been having. I started an exercise schedule and added more routines as it got easier. Many were noticing physical changes but I was still doubtful. However, they kept cheering me on and supporting me with the things I did. Currently, I have lost a maximum of 35 pounds, (started at 200) and got down 8 sizes for pants (beginning = size 38). Subsequently, I needed new clothes which it is truly a "Good Problem." But, even though the weight loss assistance and buying of new clothes put a strain on my finances, I am so grateful to all of you who have been been there for me from the beginning. Without any of you, I don't know if I could ever get here. I am 5 pounds away from my goal and everyone knows the last 10 pounds in anyone's goal is the most difficult to lose. read more

My doctor recommended JumpStart MD. I needed knee replacements and had to lose 50+lbs prior to surgery. Full blood work up + EKG before you start. Every week they check blood pressure, heart, and you get a nutritional injection (not drugs). The health staff are professionals with appropriate education (M.D., nurse practitioner, advanced nutrition) and can have detailed conversations about your health. You will also get a periodic full body scan that tells you about your body--how much fat, water, dry lean mass, how it's distributed, BMI, BMR (how many calories you need just to exist). The diet approach is high protein, some fat (counter intuitive but true thing, fat is not bad for you, sugar is), and carbs of all kinds limited to fruits & vegetables, with exceptions. You track daily intake in a little book-easy enough. The first two weeks were tough, ever heard the term "hangry"? And going through sugar withdrawal... But, it got easier as my sugar/carb addiction waned. There might not be magic here but they offer tools. You do the work, with their help. All weight loss is that way, right? I'm pretty shocked to say this, but I'm sticking with it. JumpStart offered the medically supervised, structured program I need. The Burlingame crew has been really terrific. Very helpful, and proactive. April 2017 update: Well it's almost 12 months and I've lost about 100lbs. Yes I probably could do this on my own now, but the challenge is adjusting as you loose--your requirements for calories, etc., change (downward) as you lose. As always this crew is very good, so I'm sticking with them for the duration. read more

I have only been on this program for a week but already I am feeling so much better in this one week then I have in years. I had stomach upset issues before I started, but now they have all seemed to disappear. I plan to keep on this program and lose this weight for good. The staff here is extremely friendly and helpful. I would recommend everyone to go here if I could. read more

I also started this program to try to assist in losing weight since I was planning on knee replacement after 4 years of limping and prior surgeries that didn't resolve the issues. So if there are physical limitations to exercise, this program is definitely helpful. I lost 52 pounds in 10 months with the weekly shots, fentermine and getting accustomed to very low carb intake. It took about a month to really get used to planning for meals without carbs but they have guides to help in this. It is expensive but I thought it was worth it for me and it made my surgery rehab much easier! read more

my feelings about jumpstartmd are mixed. there are positive, as well as, negative impressions. first the positive: the framework for the diet is great. if you can follow the regimen of drinking the required 60oz of water plus 40oz of other fluid, eating only the carbs and proteins which are allowed, and NOT indulge in any that are not allowed, you'll do great. if you're unable to follow this, then look elsewhere. fortunately for me, this is just what i needed, to be told what i can or cannot eat and how much of each, by measurement. going in on a weekly basis for a 'weigh-in' to track your progress helps with motivation. that's the total upside. and, of course, with the weight loss, comes "more energy, more clarity and an improved sense of well-being." now for the downside. the literature claims that they will partner with your physicians, but only if you request this. they start you off with a multivitamin, which is only good for 30 days, after 30 days you can purchase them, of course. many of the aids available, need to be requested. i would guess, if you have health issues, you wouldn't need to ask for help of professionals, this "team of experts including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, licensed therapists, fitness trainers, registered dietitians and bariatric specialists on hand to support your personal needs" would be freely provided. i found that after i followed this program with their assistance for two months, i was able to continue on my own with positive results. read more

Awesome. Staff was knowledgeable nice and encouraging . I seriously have tried everything nothing has worked until jumpstart. I lost 20lbs in 2 months. Would have continued but really expensive read more

Alexis is the best! She is super supportive and motivating. She is my personal cheerleader! I would highly recommend the program.

Great support system for reaching your weight goals. Weight loss s different for everyone, but in my case I really appreciate the individual attention and the regime they establish. The weekly visits are great and they verify your progress and what might not be working / or working for you particular circumstances. Alexis Kofoed is a professional, and appreciate the details of reviewing the blood test and any concerns regarding your over all health. This program hits it out of the ball park for me. Weight control is a life time commitment. I have many friends who have benefitted from this program, and at a bare minimum came to understand food and how to develop a healthier relationship with it. I am delighted this service is available for the community. Anna K read more

I absolutely love JSMD in Burlingame! The staff is excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you to the clinician and staff for all of your support and education. Highly recommend this program. read more

Excellent team of nurses. Friendly, well informed and they take the time with you to explain everything and answer any questions or concerns you might have. A positive environment all around! read more

I have been going to JumpStart since June and it's been amazing! Even when I can't stick to the plan or don't do as well as I would have wanted, the staff is supportive and will cheer you on to get back on track! Highly recommend the Burlingame location. read more

Only eating plan that allowed me to lose 30 lbs.without knocking myself out exercising or feeling deprived or hungry. Very effective.
