San Francisco-Based JumpstartMD Demonstrates Superior Weight Loss Outcomes Compared to Leading Commercial Programs
Nashville, TN, November 13, 2018 — JumpstartMD, a San Francisco-based medical practice, has announced groundbreaking findings showcasing its superior weight loss outcomes compared to popular commercial weight loss programs. The data was presented by Dr. Sean Bourke, Chief Medical Officer and Founder of JumpstartMD, at the Obesity Week 2018 Conference.
Dr. Bourke revealed that the average weight loss achieved by JumpstartMD patients significantly exceeded results published for well-known commercial programs, including Weight Watchers, Slimming World, Jenny Craig, and Nutrisystem. The analysis covered a comprehensive review of 22,407 JumpstartMD patients between 2007 and 2017.
JumpstartMD’s personalized weight loss program focuses on a low-carbohydrate lifestyle, utilizing fresh, whole foods, structured meal plans, one-on-one coaching, and medical supervision by licensed clinicians. Additionally, FDA-approved anti-obesity medications are available for eligible patients.
According to the study, patients who attended at least 75% of their weekly appointments with JumpstartMD experienced remarkable weight loss: an average of 21 pounds at three months, 30 pounds at six months, and 35 pounds at nine months. These patients also saw significant reductions in body weight and BMI, with the greatest results observed in patients with higher initial body weights.
Dr. Bourke emphasized the broader health implications of these results, stating, “Seventy-five percent of chronic medical conditions could be effectively managed with lifestyle changes. Given that as little as 5% to 10% weight loss can significantly reduce cardiovascular and diabetic disease risk, we are thrilled to share that 47% of our patients achieve at least 5% weight loss by the first month, and 90% by the sixth month.”
JumpstartMD’s weight loss outcomes were found to be notably superior when compared to other commercial programs:
- Weight Watchers: JumpstartMD patients lost an average of 86% more weight at three months and nearly three times more weight at six months.
- Jenny Craig: JumpstartMD’s results were 49% better at three months and 30% better at six months.
- Nutrisystem: JumpstartMD patients experienced 18% more weight loss at three months and 9% more weight loss at six months.
“We at JumpstartMD are proud to contribute to an effective, continuously improving weight loss solution that prioritizes lifestyle changes to prevent and reverse diet-induced diseases,” said Dr. Bourke. “Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of those we serve.”
