New Study from JumpstartMD Reveals Medically Supervised, Real Food-Based Weight Loss Programs as the Most Effective

Comprehensive Review Published in The Journal of Obesity Highlights Superior Outcomes from JumpstartMD’s Physician-Supervised Approach

San Francisco, Calif., January 21, 2020 – JumpstartMD, a leading medical weight loss company specializing in real science and real food for sustainable weight loss, has announced groundbreaking results from a new study published in The Journal of Obesity. Titled “Effect of JumpstartMD, a Commercial Low-Calorie Low-Carbohydrate Physician-Supervised Weight Loss Program,” the study evaluates commercial weight loss programs nationwide, revealing that JumpstartMD’s program delivers the most significant weight loss outcomes among real food-based offerings. This marks the most comprehensive review of commercial weight loss programs ever published in the medical literature, offering compelling insights into effective strategies for achieving lasting wellness.

JumpstartMD’s Program Outperforms All Other Real Food-Based Commercial Weight Loss Programs

The study analyzed data from 22,407 JumpstartMD members over a decade, from 2007 to 2017, demonstrating that the results from Bay Area-based JumpstartMD were superior to those of any other real food-based commercial weight loss programs. Participants in the JumpstartMD program lost nearly 10 pounds—equivalent to five percent of their body weight—in just one month, surpassing the Institute of Medicine’s benchmark for clinically significant weight loss, which is defined as five percent weight loss over the course of one year. Additionally, clients who attended 75 percent or more of their weekly in-person appointments experienced double the weight loss after six months compared to those who attended 50 percent or fewer sessions. The study underscores the importance of in-person, consistent accountability and support, even in the digital age.

“Obesity remains a growing epidemic in the United States, and Americans are actively seeking sustainable weight loss solutions,” said Dr. Sean Bourke, founder and CEO of JumpstartMD. “After treating over 70,000 patients, we’ve developed a proven roadmap for long-term weight loss success. Our program begins with a thorough clinical assessment, including biometric tests and body composition analysis, followed by a personalized plan centered on fresh, low-carbohydrate foods. We hope this study provides actionable insights and tools for individuals striving for clinically significant, long-term weight loss.”

Key Findings: Personalized, Low-Carb Diets with Medical Oversight Lead to Superior Outcomes

JumpstartMD’s success rates confirm the following critical components for effective weight loss:

• Personal 1:1 coaching with medical supervision is essential for any commercial weight loss program.
• A tailored, individualized approach is far more effective than a one-size-fits-all program.
• Adhering to a diet of real, fresh, low-carb, nutrient-dense foods is crucial for nutritional success and sustainability.

Founded in 2007, JumpstartMD operates 12 offices throughout the Bay Area, including locations in Marin, Piedmont, Walnut Creek, San Francisco, Redwood City, Burlingame, and more, with four new centers opening soon.
