Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Jumpstart® Program different from other weight loss plans?
Jumpstart is a physician-directed weight loss program, meaning it's medically supervised and tailored to your individual health needs. Unlike commercial diets, we combine weekly medical visits, lab work, medication options (including GLP-1s), meal replacements, and educational classes for a comprehensive and sustainable approach.
Are GLP-1 medications included in the program?
Can the Jumpstart® Program accommodate specific dietary restrictions or allergies?
Yes, absolutely. Your personalized plan will consider any dietary restrictions, allergies, or preferences you may have.
Who is NOT a candidate for the Jumpstart® Program?
The program is intended for adults who can safely participate in a physician‑directed weight loss plan. People who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, have certain uncontrolled medical conditions (for example, some endocrine disorders or a recent history of pancreatitis), or are taking contraindicated medications, may not be eligible.
What happens after the 20 weeks end?
After 20 weeks, we offer transition and maintenance options — ongoing check-ins, a maintenance plan, and continued access to education and resources to help sustain your results. Your clinician will design a personalized follow-up plan.
