Real Science, Real Food, Real Results
Founded in 2007 by Stanford-trained physicians Dr. Conrad Lai and Dr. Sean Bourke, JumpstartMD was born out of concern for the serious effects that the obesity epidemic was having on the health of our communities. Backed by years of medical experience, they were convinced that they could make a positive change in traditional weight loss practices and improves the lives of millions through the development of personalized, physician-supervised programs focused on fresh, whole foods and sustainable lifestyle changes.
JumpstartMD has quickly grown into the most referred medically supervised weight loss program in Northern California. Directed by expert physicians, nutritionists, psychologists, and physical fitness professionals, our one-on-one, clinical approach to wellness is empowering patients with the personal knowledge to thrive and inspirational support to flourish.
At JumpstartMD, we are transforming lives and changing the world of weight loss.
