GLP-1 and beyond
The right medication,
prescribed for you.
Wegovy®
A once-weekly GLP-1 injection for treating overweight and obesity, as well as reducing cardiovascular risk in adults with weight-related health issues.
Zepbound®
A once-weekly injectable that works similarly to other GLP-1 drugs, but also targets a second peptide hormone called GIP. Indicated for overweight and obesity.
Ozempic®
A once-weekly GLP-1 injection used to treat type 2 diabetes. It also supports weight loss in adults who are overweight or obese with related health conditions.
Oral Wegovy®
A once-daily prescription that uses GLP-1 science to help reduce appetite, control cravings, and support long-term weight management — without injections.
Mounjaro®
A once-weekly GLP-1 + GIP dual agonist indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and safe and effective for weight loss.
Other medications
Non-GLP-1 and combination options for members who want an alternative, or who cannot take a GLP-1.

Why us
Why clinical supervision matters
GLP-1 medications are powerful — but a prescription alone isn't a weight-loss program.
-
In-Person or Online Visits
See your clinician in person at 14 California locations, or online. Your provider reviews labs, adjusts dosing, and tracks your progress throughout treatment.
-
Comprehensive Lab Work
Most online programs run basic labs, if any. JumpstartMD screens 60 biomarkers — what’s happening with your weight loss and metabolism, not just whether you qualify.
-
Muscle Loss Prevention
Up to 40% of weight lost on GLP-1s can be muscle. InBody® scanning helps your clinician track lean mass and prioritize fat loss.
-
Long-Term Maintenance
Treatment doesn’t stop at the prescription. We build a step-down plan so you taper safely and avoid the rebound that affects most patients who stop unsupervised.
-
Contraindication Screening
A questionnaire can miss important risks. Our clinicians assess before prescribing, to be sure GLP-1 treatment is appropriate for you.
-
Medication Management
Your clinician manages dosing from day one, monitors interactions, and guides you safely through missed doses or treatment restarts.
A prescription gets you started. Clinical supervision is what makes it work. JumpstartMD combines in-person or online clinician care, comprehensive lab work, body composition monitoring, and long-term support — everything the prescription alone cannot provide.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How soon will I see results?
Our patients lose an average of one to five pounds each week.* Women typically lose one to three pounds, while men lose two to five. After nine months, the average patient loses 17% of their body weight and 7 inches in waist circumference. Results depend on factors like starting weight, medical conditions, and personal program adherence.
What if I’ve failed at diets before?
We get it. Losing weight is hard, and the experience can be very frustrating. But over the years we have helped thousands of members lose weight and improve their overall health. Our comprehensive program is not a diet; it’s a way of life.
Major lifestyle change is not easy, and that is why diets fail. At JumpstartMD we empower you to transform your lifestyle in order to lose weight and keep it off. We do this by providing the ongoing private and personal support you need to stay on track. Most importantly, our program is flexible enough to address challenges and issues specific to your life and circumstances. Medically supervised and based on the science of weight loss, our program will help you overcome obstacles with time-tested techniques and smart, effective strategies.
