Dennis Sheehan, M.D.
As a cardiologist, I have dedicated much of my life to the prevention and treatment of heart disease. Despite my knowledge that many of our cardiovascular diseases are weight related, when I first heard about Jumpstart Medicine, I was a bit skeptical. Once I became more familiar with the program and witnessed first hand the experiences of many of my patients, however, I became a believer.
Time and again, I have seen the Jumpstart graduates in my office showing remarkable improvements in cardiovascular health risks: improved cholesterol profile, blood pressure, glycemic (diabetic) levels, and sleep apnea symptoms. Metabolic syndrome risks lessened to the point where patients no longer qualify for that risk group. I have been able to reduce or eliminate medications previously taken by many of my Jumpstart patients.
Several of my patients who went to Jumpstart have achieved truly extraordinary results – losing anywhere from 70 to 90 pounds. These patients would otherwise have needed gastric bypass surgery and now they’re new people. And what’s more, they’re keeping it off and feeling better than ever!
I recommend Jumpstart to anyone serious about losing weight and improving their health risks.
Sincerely,

As a former Jumpstart patient and after watching a number of friends successfully undergo the program, I have shed my early skepticism and come to have a very high regard for the Jumpstart Medicine program.
As a doctor, I know firsthand the scourge of diseases associated with overweight and obesity and the serious personal challenges associated with long term management of one’s weight. Jumpstart provides a needed solution to a serious problem.
Through its combination of dietary oversight, individual counseling, appetite suppression, exercise encouragement, and weekly support, Jumpstart was unlike any weight management program I’d ever encountered. The program gave me the support I needed to achieve my goals and manage my weight successfully. Other results I have seen emerging from that office are at times nothing short of miraculous.
The Jumpstart program offers a ray of hope to all of those who have struggled to find a sensible pathway toward a healthier weight. I am confident that anyone can achieve their goals through the program. I highly recommend it to others.
