Will have to go back for a follow-up visit however even with the small changes she suggested I already noticed an improvement in the way I feel. Thank you!

It was the most thorough session I've ever received. Juju listened to my needs, but also went beyond them to provide me with a treatment that exceeded my expectations. 2 days later and my body is still releasing and healing quite noticeably. I also really appreciated the knowledge she has and the way she educated me on which points were being treated and their names, relations, etc. Can't wait to come back in!

My inner transformation has been quietly miraculous. I have found myself experiencing more lighthearted amusement in my daily interaction with others, and able to bring the power of neutrality to challenging situations in my life. Heather's years of teaching experience are evident in the safe, grounded class space where there is permission to just really let go of the static and remember how wonderful it feels to run your natural Goddess Energy! All from the comfort of your own home. No commute stress or expense!!! I'm sure this must be just a "coincidence", but on the last day of class I was called for a job interview, and 2 days later, presto chango, I have a new job! I wonder if that might have something to do with taking a time out to do some inner spring cleaning? ...Oh, and by the way, I'm dreaming in color again. Happy Face!

He had all these different program sets that concentrated on certain fitness issues. I thought the jumpstart was a good one for me. In a short time, I lost the weight, my abs got some definition. It had been awhile since I had been to the gym and really felt self-conscious. Fuad is very friendly and funny and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. He explains what everything in the gym is and how to use. He also told me about nutrition and dealing with stress and how to stretch. I highly recommend him if you're serious about getting fit.

The clinician is a nurse practitioner, Elizabeth. She is a very knowledgeable and caring medical professional. She takes the time to carefully review each lab result, biometric data point, current literature and my personal symptoms and experiences. As a healthcare professional myself, my expectations are informed by the day to day realities of primary care which cannot function properly due to the conflicted financial interests of health insurance companies. I am therefore consistently satisfied with the level of service provided by JumpStart MD.

In our area we were long overdue for a serious, safe and healthy weight loss clinic, beyond what a general doctor provides (eat better and exercise). Those of us who struggle with weight loss know this doesn't work. Their doctors and health advisors closely monitor your health and progress with regular labs, consultations and InBody scans. There are a variety of injection options to boost energy, focus and other needs for a balanced approach. This is not about rapid weight loss. It is about a balanced approach for long term, sustainable weight loss, maintenance over time, and check-ins as need after that. Their staff is kind and supportive, and work with your financial needs. Weight loss is difficult and can be pricy, but if you're going to commit, do it safely and with the right people. JumpstartMD is committed to this.
