I have been going to JumpStart MD for many years to help me stay in check with my weight loss, as well as help with BHRT support. I go in weekly to be weighed and talk with a staff person, sometimes a nutritionist and sometimes medical personnel. They are always helpful with whatever I am going through that week. Always positive even if my weight is up that week. I did start using GLP-1 Zepbound shots awhile back as my weight loss plateaued and menopause hit. My insurance covers it - though I did have to try Ozempic first. Ozempic never did much for me so Jumpstart submitted a prior authorization for Zepbound and it was approved eventually. I visit with the BHRT staff once a quarter I think. They always want to know how I am doing with menopause and any symptoms I may be having. I do blood work twice a year so they can look at all my hormone numbers and all the regular blood tests they look at. My insurance does cover part of the Jumpstart costs so its definitely beneficial to look into that. read more

I have been a client for many years and am grateful for the service, the support, and success I've found through Jumpstart MD. The team works in a cohesive way to ensure you are comfortable and cared for. I genuinely haven't found a better way to manage my habits and I'm grateful to know every single person I get to work with here. Scheduling is easy, professional, and flexible. I have been happy since day one. The only thing that's ever gone wrong were just a few of my decisions, but they helped me work through those two! I'm talking about food! read more

I've been coming here for over three years, and my experience has consistently been excellent. This review is especially for Josh--he's truly the best. I never feel rushed during appointments; he takes the time to check in, ask thoughtful questions, and make sure all my concerns are addressed. The office staff is also fantastic. They're quick to respond to refill requests or lab needs, and they always seem up-to-date on the latest medications and where to access them. It really feels like they're on the cutting edge of care. I've referred several people here, and every one of them has had a similarly positive experience. The front desk team is always warm and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. Highly recommend! read more

Long-Term Success with JumpstartMD. I've been a member of JumpstartMD since 2017, starting at the Redwood City office and transferring to Campbell in 2021 when I began working from home. I originally joined after gaining weight from free company-provided meals that I couldn't take off on my own. Through the program, I lost 35 pounds by learning practical eating habits and how to fit regular exercise into my day. Most importantly, I've maintained that weight loss over the years.The regular check-ins provide great accountability and practical advice for staying on track. At the Campbell location, working with Josh, the Nurse Practitioner, has been especially helpful--his enthusiastic lifestyle coaching creates a very supportive environment, and his medical expertise allows him to tailor supplements to my specific needs. JumpstartMD has worked well for me as a long-term approach to weight management, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for steady, sustainable results. read more

Love the staff here - especially Josh! Very helpful, professional and always has great information to share with me and answers to my questions! Highly recommend Josh and the JS Team! read more

I wish I could give Jumpstart more than five stars! They have guided me through my weight loss journey for several years. The clinicians (Joshua is my favorite!) are amazing-- always up to date on the latest medical developments and give valuable suggestions on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. read more

After years of weight loss methods, Jenny Craig, Weightwatchers, and other programs..I found myself wanting to loose the weight and learn how to manage it! I found the solution with Jumpstart MD! I have progressively made strides in weight reduction and maintenance, but the overall health aspect of the program is beneficial! Helping with body composition , blood pressure, hydration and vitamins...makes this a great overall healthy alternative to any of the other programs addressing weight loss! Thanks, Jumpstart MD! read more

I've never written a Yelp review before, but the team at JumpstartMD in Campbell made such a huge impact on my life that I had to share. As I've gotten older--and as I quickly approach 60 (this year!)--it's become much harder to maintain my weight and the energy I need to keep up with life and perform at the level I expect of myself at work. Between menopause and just life happening, I found myself up 40 pounds and not feeling like myself. I knew I needed more than just diet and exercise--I needed real medical support and expertise. I needed more tools in my tool belt! This team is incredible. Cassandra always greets me with a big smile and is endlessly helpful, no matter how busy it gets. Josh brings deep clinical knowledge and explains everything in a way that truly applies to what I'm going through. Matt clearly has a passion for what he does, and his expertise in how to optimize the body is next-level--you can tell he truly understands the process inside and out. And Zerlina's support with BHRT has been a game-changer--her science-backed approach ties everything together in a way that feels personalized and effective. What really sets JumpstartMD apart is how comprehensive the program is. The combination of weight loss, maintenance, optimization, and BHRT has me feeling like I'm firing on all cylinders. I feel strong, energized, and honestly younger than I have in years. I wholeheartedly recommend JumpstartMD, especially the Campbell location. This "tiger team" has become like family to me. I actually look forward to my weekly visits, whether it's for vitamin injections or simply the boost of energy and encouragement I feel every time I walk through their doors. read more

The team at JumpstartMD have facilitated my health goals. They provide nutrition & healthy life style changes tailored to my needs. Their positive feedback has been encouraging. I especially like completing monthly InBody scans that provide valuable information beyond the number on the scale. I highly recommend their program. read more

I have had great success with the Campbell JumpstartMD since 2014. I joined for 8 years, until I had some major surgery. I came back Nov 2024. Met some new faces, they are so warm and welcoming. Ran into Chris, in Capitola, she stopped me, and said HI!! She was delightful, and I was happy she remembered me, from when she used to work there. Also Alexandra, who I hadn't seen in almost 5 years, remembered me when I was in the office last week, and made a special effort to talk to me. Josh, Matt, other staff, including Cassandra the receptionist - are always so warm and welcoming. They all help me with my almost 29 lb weight loss. All very helpful, have great ideas and tips. I look forward to every visit! read more

My wallet was the main thing lightened after my membership. I picked Jumpstart for the "medical supervision" but can't really say I experienced any. Most of my appointments consisted of asking me what I wanted to pick from, at extra cost, from a variety of prescription meds, mail order vitamins, and injections. I expected a comprehensive strategy or at least a recommendation rather than me wildly guessing from the catchy names, like RevitalizeMe, what might work for me. The office staff itself were super friendly. I can see why some people stay. I was always addressed by name walking in, which is a rarity in healthcare these days. read more

I would like to give a special review for Jane D. She is absolutely incredible and always goes above and beyond to make sure I have what I need and all my questions are answered. She has even reached out to me on weekends and after hours to ensure I was taken care of! Who does that? Jane!! That's who! She has a great work ethic, is super friendly and always a pleasure to work with her! When I started going to the Campbell location for HRT she took me under her wing and has helped guide me along the way. However I would also like to add that everyone here has been wonderful! All the providers (Nurse practitioners & Doctors) have taken the time to explain everything to me and answer my questions. Nothing was forced on me and I never felt pressured to make a decision about products or my treatments. They really work with you to make sure you feel comfortable. You won't regret going here. read more

I started with them in April of 2019. I lost 35 lbs and continue to lose. I made big changes to how I eat and when I eat. The biggest benefit for me from JumpstartMD is managing my hormones and dealing with my A1C. I was gaining weight continuously for 2 years and my normal doctor was no help. I was running half marathons and my eating hadn't changed. After going to Jumpstart on a recommendation from a friend, they ordered a full blood panel which was eye opening. Tackling my A1C was not just great for my weight loss but for my pancreas. Turns out diabetes runs in my family but no one talked about it. If you've been suddenly gaining weight and getting no answers, the folks at JumpstartMD may be the next step in your journey. read more

I was hesitant to join JumpstartMD but I've been eating healthy and working out so long and just couldn't lose weight. Everyone at the clinic is professional and super attentive and have really helped me to create new habits for a long-term healthier lifestyle. To date I've lost more than 20 pounds and feel better than ever! Shoutout to Emily who has been so encouraging every step of the way. I couldn't have been so successful without her guidance! read more

I started with Emily May 5. She has been nothing but amazing and a great support system along the way. I weighed in at 142 pounds on 5/6 as my goal was to be 120-125 pounds. No diet is ever fun, Emily has made sure from Day 1 I understood how the medication works, how the diet needs to be consistent and what exactly your body needs to get to your goal weight. I have worked with personal trainers on and off for many years, no one has given me more insight to how the body really works and what can help get to your goal the fastest but healthiest way. It has been exactly a month I am now weighing in today at 129 pounds. That is 13 pounds in a month. I feel amazing and look amazing and I couldn't have done this without Emily and her support and guidance. Fully recommend this program to anyone who needs a reset or just has some weight they need to loose to feel their best. read more

I joined Jump Start MD during the covid 19 pandemic in Jan 2021, after one too many sour dough biscuits! I lost 30 Lbs in 6 months. I'm keeping it off and continuing to eat real food. I have probably tried every diet plan out there, and this is the first one that has worked for me.The food plans are easy with a lot of variety and choices. I can also cook for my husband and simply cut out all the heavy carb load foods. I'm more conscience of what I consume and what my psychological triggers are. The one on one counseling has been fabulous. Maria, Laura and all of the women who work at the Campbell location are so kind , compassionate, and genuinely care. Even the receptionist is sweet and friendly when I walk through the door. They encourage with out shaming. I plan to continue maintenance , I'm at a plateau now but I'm ok with that. No one has tried to push shakes, or other therapies as I have experienced after participating in other programs. Jump Start MD works!!!! read more

After several times in 10 years struggling with being able to lose more than 10 lbs using various programs, my doctor recommended JumpStartMD. I'm 5'6" and in 6 months I went from 198 lbs to 173 lbs (25 lbs ); I'm maintaining that loss (no ups and downs) and working towards losing 5 to 10 more lbs. More importantly, my recent blood work shows me to finally be at very healthy levels, especially glucose and cholesterol. Also, my BP and body fat are way down in the normal range. At the Campbell, CA office from the various Technicians to the front desk staff, all have been professional, knowledgeable and 100% helpful. The PA (Maria) has been a pleasure to work with, not only for the successful weight loss but for what I sense is an overall care for my health vs just looking better. If you are looking fior a solid weight-loss program, JumpStartMD's is realistic, practical, and with good people behind it monitoring your progress who are caring and dedicated. read more

I've been pondering what to write for this review for a while. All of the lovely ladies at jumpstart we're tremendously inspiring for me. Their plan was great in that it gives you a small bites, and checking in weekly with all your metrics is super helpful too. read more

JumpstartMD - Just me skinny me. - Weight Loss Centers Near Me - Campbell, California

The team at JumpstartMD has honestly changed my life. Theirs is not a diet you can crib from a book or a website or even from someone else on the program (I tried that) - they cater their advice to what YOU need. I called JumpstartMD right after I received the news from my doctor that I was pre-diabetic. I went from an A1c of 6.2 to an A1c of 5.5 in three months working with JumpstartMD. I have lost 30 pounds in 5 months, and have about 20 or so more to go. It's hard at the start, but the plan is supposed to be a lifestyle change and not a quick fix. They also give you tough love about the fact that "you can't outrun your mouth." In other words, there's not enough exercise in the world to overcome eating the wrong things in the wrong amounts (my doctor gave me the same advice). I know it's not the cheapest option, but if there are other purchases you can give up to make this work for you, do it. You're worth it, and it's not forever. They teach you how to take the reins. read more

I want to send a special thank you to Clinician Jane Souza at the Campbell location. She is amazing? Not.inly does she take the time to really.get to know you as a patient, she is able to tailor your weight management plan in a way that works with your particular preferences, situation and lifestyle. Her caring and encouraging attitude makes all the difference in the world! She is the reason I drive all the way in from Gilroy each week. Not only have I lost over 40lbs under her care, I habe kept it off for 5 years. Amazing! If anyone is looking for a welcoming, caring, compassionate, fun and super encouraging place to lose those unwanted pounds, look no further and be sure to ask for Jane. It'll be the best decision you can make for yourself. read more

I have spent a lifetime "dieting". I know what I'm supposed to do or not supposed to do. I have always been a person who believes in eating real food. I have never done a shake or prepared food diet so I tried WW again which I believe is a great program. It was online and guess what? It failed. I decided I needed the accountability of weighing in every week so when I joined Jumpstart 5 weeks ago I was looking forward to the weekly weigh in, but guess what? It's so much more. Maria and her team in Campbell counsel me without judgment. I'm only a month in, but I decided to change my 6 month membership to a year. This is the place to be, not only for weight loss, but for a healthy change in lifestyle. I'm so excited to be here! read more

I normally try and make sure I leave reviews to help others and the businesses. With this review, my goal is to reach the person out there who feels there is no hope. I joined JumpstartMD after a co-worker told me about the program and how much she loved how she felt. Though I was not obese, I had trouble sleeping, focusing and was exhausted all the time. With a family history of health issues ranging from cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol I wanted to make sure I got myself healthy. So to JumpstartMD I went. I quickly learned my food portion sizes were out of control and no matter how much I worked out I was not going to shed the pounds. I committed to cutting out sweets, fruit, alcohol and starches (rice, tortillas) for the first month. I bought a food scale and measured every one of my meals. I became a food prep queen. And I felt so good after that first month that I have kept it going. I don't miss the rice and tortillas at all. There are healthier options for those times I need a sweet and the satisfaction is so much better than when I ate a whole candy bar! I began my journey on June 25, 2020 at 140.9 lbs and 27.6% body fat. On October 15, 2020 I weighed in at 121.4 lbs and 20.2% body fat. I feel amazing. I'm focused, I don't need naps and my body just feels way better. I'm smaller in stature so my weight may not be a significant as others but YOU can do it and YOU will feel great! Maria, Jane, Isabella and Alexandra are there to encourage you when your doing well and motivate you when you're a bit off. I am truly grateful they have introduced me to a lifestyle change that works and not just some diet trend that will fade. I thank you ladies so much! And for the non-believers...YOU CAN DO IT! Do it for you! read more

Joining JumpstartMD has been completely life-changing. My wife and I joined at the end of October 2016 and by September 2017 we'd both lost nearly 60 pounds. We went from being sluggish and in pain to having more energy than we could have imagined. And our joints don't hurt anymore! "Eating healthy" doesn't mean boring, or bland, or repetitive. What it actually did for us was help us pull out of the rut we'd been in, eating the same unhealthy foods that had piled on the pounds in the first place. We both love working with the folks at the Los Gatos office - everyone is friendly, professional, and very concerned with our progress. The weekly (now bi-weekly, as we're on maintenance) sessions really help us stay focused on our goals and give us an accountability partner, which is very helpful for sticking with our commitment to live healthy, much lighter lives! read more

The staff here treats me like family! In addition to weight loss coaching, I highly recommend the vitamin injection therapy. They have several kinds of injections and can help you select a regimen to meet your goals. They also sell supplements inside the office at a reasonable price. read more

I had my first evaluation after my blood test this week. They were so nice while I was there, and they gave me a list of suggested medication and doses for each. I told the NR I had two of the meds at home from my doctor and I wanted to compare the dosage prior to making a decision. When I emailed them back with the meds and dosages, I received a snarky response. They told me I could join and just take their Testosterone with several possible side effects. But, again extremely snarky email. For the price of membership and meds, I could see a legitimate Doctor and have them covered under my insurance. read more

Managing weight loss can be a challenge in normal times. Losing weight during a global pandemic can be almost impossible. Changes in routines, working from home and numerous restrictions during the Covid era creates and environment that makes it easy ways to deviate from any structured weight loss program. The team at Jumpstart made it happen for me. Maria, Isabella, Alexandra, Jane and the others behind the scene provided an important mixture of structure, listening coupled with creative, constructive ideas and approaches that enabled me to lose 45 lbs - even during this crazy environment. Both in-person and remotely, the Jumpstart team each provides a very complementary set of skills including real professional medical insights, advice about nutritional supplement and a number of creative ideas to help create new healthy habits, accelerate weight loss and deal with very normal traps and temptations. Congrats and thank you to the whole Jumpstart team. I feel great and couldn't have done it without you. read more

Maria and her team has been amazing with great emotional and educational support. Keep you accountable and help you to reach your goals if you follow their recommendations. Highly recommending it. read more

Jumpstart MD changed my relationship with food, which is just what I was looking for. I also lost 20 pounds along the way and haven't gained it back for several months now. I've revamped how, when and what I eat and I don't imagine I'll change those habits plus I'm exercising a lot more consistently - all good things! Yes, it is expensive (~$350/month) but you're learning a healthy sustainable way to live with food and also you get weekly, individual support sessions to reach your goal. My first 12 pounds came off quickly, the next 8 pounds were more challenging and I have a final 7 pounds that I will slowly chip away at. As you get smaller it's harder to lose the weight, so it goes in ounces and not pounds - bummer! It also takes some serious habit shifts and willpower. At first I missed bread, pasta, rice, bagels etc and had serious cravings. Now I don't miss them at all. However I do still have a sweet tooth (and like the occasional drink) and have been creative on how to deal with that challenge. But I've never really felt like I was on a "diet" i.e. that I had to really restrict myself and feel deprived. I'm starting maintenance next month (~$350 for 6 monthly visits) and will go in just once a month so I can ensure that I'll keep off the extra weight. Check to see if your insurance will cover the costs or if you can use your HSA (which is what I did, so at least the payments were pre-tax dollars). I went to the Los Gatos office and really liked all of the folks there. My favorites are Lauren and Amy - they're great! But everyone there is friendly, supportive, knowledgeable and helpful. I look at this weight loss, and the lasting change of habits, as an investment in myself and my health, so the cost was totally worth it! I recommend this organization and its program. It's challenging at times but worth the effort. read more

I started JumpstartMD in May 2013. I really enjoyed the program. It was easy to follow and everyone at the Los Gatos office was supportive. I had weekly meetings with staff where we discussed my progress and any challenges I was having. This program changes the way you think about eating, weight loss and maintaining a healthy life style. I lost over 40 lbs and am now on the maintenance program for a few more months. It was expensive but really no more expensive then other weight loss programs when you factor in the short amount of time it took to see results. I saw quick results in a short amount of time and have been able to keep the weight off so far. read more

I started the program October 2012. I mostly see Amy, although they are all wonderful. Jumpstart has helped me learn how to eat right again. Weight comes off pretty fast in the beginning then slows, as one would expect as you learn how to maintain your new weight. In roughly 5 months, I lost about 50 pounds. Some weeks had a small gain (0.8 lbs) and others had a loss of (4 lbs). I think I lost about 15-20 lbs the first month. Then approx 5-10 pounds the following months. I am maintaining my weight now. I am still losing about 1 pound a month. I needed a change and so happy that I did this program. I am doing the maintenance program,as I think that it will help me stay on tract. I went from a size 16 to a size 6-8. I did not have a weight loss goal, but a body goal and I almost there. It's exciting!! Are you committed to losing weight and changing your eating habits? This program may be for you. Well worth the money, this is your health we are talking about. read more

I started JSMD at the Los Gatos office December 15, 2017. I have lost over 70 pounds and am still going. The program isn't easy - real weight loss isn't, it takes dedication - but it just really works for me. My blood pressure is way down, my energy and self esteem are way up. And the​ real plus is learning​ a new life style that will serve me well into the future. The people​ at the LG office are great...especially Maria and Isabella. They really know their stuff and are complete professionals, yet personable enough to relate to our struggles and - most importantly - totally non-judgemental​. Keeping my appointment is always a pleasure, and how often can you say that about a diet program? Yes it's pricey - but worth it​ if you want real change in your life and you fully commit to the program. read more

JumpstartMD helped me to get consistent with my food choices to help me lose weight. They have an easy to follow, medically guided method with low carbohydrate, and high protein and fat, and I've been very successful so far. I'm halfway to my goal, and I've lost 60 lbs already in the last seven months. I feel much more healthy, my blood pressure and cholesterol are back into healthy ranges, and I'm determined to make it to my goal. I really like that the method is medically based, monitored by a nurse practitioner, and they don't push things that are unproven on you. I'm looking forward to the "sustain" part of their plan to keep it off. I would say that the cost is a little high, but my insurance pays half of it, and I feel like it's worth the cost to be so much more healthy. read more

Jumpstart did not help me lose weight. Basically, it is a Keto diet which I find too restrictive and not sustainable. I did not feel I received the accountability coaching that I needed to succeed. For the hefty monthly price, I expected more coaching and better results. read more

I use JumpstartMD as a key part of my weight loss program. In the 5 months since I joined I have lost 55 lbs and am still progressing to my goal. I follow their plan as closely as I can and I don't find it that restrictive (I do miss my wine). The folks there are knowledgable, supportive, personable and professional. It's not cheap, but in my case it is worth it. I cannot recommend them enough. While I'm still a ways from my weight goal, I feel that I'm not only losing weight, but making positive changes to my eating habits that feel as though they will be sustainable long term. read more

I joined the Los Gatos JumpstartMD in January, 2018. Working with the team at the Los Gatos location has been a great experience. Each weekly meeting helps me to stay on track, and learn seemingly small adjustments to my eating behaviors and food choices, which have made a big difference. I'm 1/2 way to my goal weight and I feel that I will not only achieve this, but have learned a new ways to make healthy choices that are very manageable for the long term. The team at Jumpstart is supportive, knowledgeable and very approachable. read more

Jumpstart has changed my life! I have done it twice, the first time I did it was when I was a senior in high school and i hated working out. I wanted to loose weight before college and learn good eating habits. I ended up loosing so much weight and was at my lightest weight that I had ever been just by commuting to jumpstart! No working out just food changes! The second time I did it was after I graduated from college. I gained a lot of weight due to lack of active, a bad diet, and turning 21. I didn't like where I was at and I knew that I needed a drastic change. So I went back to what I knew worked which was jumpstart. I am still doing it and learning how to maintain my weight but I have currently lost 30 POUNDS IN 5 MONTHS! It's hard for me to stay on track sometimes so the weekly check ins are what help me get back on track and start with a fresh week. The scientific proof and shots definitely give me a little boost that I need as well. I never thought in my life I could be as small as I currently am and I definitely couldn't do it without this team. Like I've said, they have changed my life when I didn't think it was possible! read more

First half hour is $300. Then it's $100/week for 10 minute visits. The diet is based on the South Beach Diet. Read the book for $10. If losing weight is worth $600/hr, That's about the same price as a good lawyer - and as effective read more

A good plan, but EXPENSIVE! And I don't think they have your best interests in mind. My wife has used them for 2 years; she dislikes pork, fish and poultry; you'd think JumpStart would say "This isn't the right program for you." (High protein/low carb) Especially as she's only lost 26 lbs. in that 2 years. My wife keeps paying the $388 per month because she likes the weekly coaching, which obviously hasn't helped much, but what can I say. IF you can stick to lots of meats, fish and nuts, you WILL lose weight on this program - a friend lost 65lbs, though he began gaining some of it back and had to go back on the program. Permanent weight loss requires lifestyle changes - frequent exercise and healthy eating are crucial. If you eat for emotional reasons, be sure to get professional help for that before or concurrent with any weight loss program, or you'll just gain it all back. Just my 2 cents, but it's what the experts (not necessarily Jump Start) will tell you. read more

This review is not specifically for the Los Gatos center; it is related to the concept of JumpstartMD in general. My criteria is effectiveness of the method, how easy it is to follow, the price. The easiest criteria is the price - if you have $400/mo, you can do it. At the same time, you can go to a public library or Amazon and get all possible books you want to read about the way you should eat. It will be cheaper and you'll learn much more. Is it easy to follow? Not difficult, but checking "protein boxes" in a little book... Common! Do you really have that much time to spend? Weekly visits - maybe they'll be helpful to you. They do take time to find out how you're doing, measure your weight and blood pressure. I have nothing against the people who worked in the center I visited. The people were nice. The most important - the method and its effectiveness. If you're the kind of person who eats 4 hamburgers for lunch and wonders about the correct diet, I can recommend a list of books to read. It is much cheaper and you'll learn a lot more. If you're the kind of person, like me, who wants to loose the last stubborn 15 lbs and already read all books out there, this establishment won't help you. The theory - high protein, low carb diet. Where is the news? Why would I be paying anything at all for this knowledge? Portion control. I'm sorry if you didn't know that eating the entire portion, even if salad, in Cheesecake Factory is wrong for a single human. To summarize - NOT effective, time consuming and expensive. read more

A friend had wonderful luck with JumpstartMD so I thought I'd give them a try. I'm so glad I did! Maria and her team were incredibly helpful and kind. I ended up losing about 35 pounds without too much trouble (since I really took my time about it!) Their diet plan gives you a lot a of flexibility. I feel like I learned the tools I need to keep it off. I definitely recommend their program! read more
