I have been a client of JumpstartMD for years, at several locations (Burlingame, Corte Madera, and…read moremost recently Capitola). The first two times I lost weight and kept it off as long as I followed their program. My experience this time was not as good. Jillian was the PA at the Capitola location from the time I started in October 2020 until a few months ago. She was an outstanding clinician and very helpful to me, as we navigated the changes to my thyroid levels. Since she left, there has been a revolving door of qualified and not-so-qualified people at this location. My weight loss has stalled. The person I most recently met with, who didn't even have the courtesy to introduce herself, told me that the laws of thermodynamics were causing me to not lose weight. At that point I knew that there was no talking to her and no point in continuing this program. What impressed me about JumpstartMD initially was that it was based on science. "Thermodynamics" has no place in the science of weight loss, nor does someone who is under-educated and smug about it. I met with Dr. Sean Burke as well a few weeks ago and he also insisted that the problem is that I need to cut calories. Blame the victim. It seems to me this program has lost its way.

I have been a patient at Jumpstart MD since 2019. I participated in their weight loss program…read more Jillian is hands down the best clinician I've ever met. I was a reticent patient, but Jillian's interest and professional guidance allowed me to successfully lose and keep off 65 lbs. I credit Jillian with saving my husband's life (too long for a review, but true). She goes so above and beyond any doctor I've met. Her wholistic approach is refreshingly unique, and gives her clients access to her incredible breadth of knowledge. You'll get more support than you ever though possible. Ginger is wonderful and so helpful and accommodating. These two are such a professional pair. I'd recommend this Jumpstart MD to anyone who is interested in restoring their health and wellbeing.

When I first met Talya I was 25 with a history of binge eating as far back as I can remember. As a…read moreresult of this and the emotional barricades upholding it I'd been running myself arid with anxiety and bouts of depression. That was over a year ago and I truly feel like a changed person. Talya has been a cooling balm from the moment I met her. Her teachings showed me how to take responsibility for my health and ultimately how to mature as an individual. Not only is Talya incredibly wise and intelligent she is outstandingly sweet and warm. She is a rare treasure indeed. You will leave her office feeling like you'd been with a mystic healer. Talya has cultivated her craft of helping other people and everyone can benefit both physically and mentally from her advice. That is so long as people are ready to accept the healing journey. Talya offers classes online and in-person sessions for one-on-one advice. I highly recommend having a session with her first and then taking her classes. Although I don't think it is necessary, it makes the classes much more personalized. Her classes are wonderfully detailed and thorough and offer much healing information. By having a session with her first you can take her classes knowing yourself better and apply the advice that is personal to you. Sending healing vibes your way. Hare Krishna! With Love, Natalie Black

A friend of mine in Santa Cruz got the flu and I wish I could have brought them some Chicken Soup,…read morebut since I live in SF I couldn't do that. So Talya made her delicious and health (healing) chicken soup and delivered it for me to my friend. She even took a picture of the jars that she left on my friend's door step (love that, what a sweet and caring touch) I so appreciate Talya's amazing cooking and the care with which she delivered the food and left a little note for my friend on my behalf. Ordering the food and email communication with her was very easy. My friend loved the soup and is on the mend. Thank you for your love, support and amazing healing food.
