JumpstartMD review
Graded on whether a price is published, checkable, and still true at month two — how we grade · how we verify prices
JumpstartMD publishes one price — $79 to get started, struck through from $379 — and its own cost FAQ declines to say what the program costs after that.
- No month-to-month price published
- States published: CA
- FDA warning letters: 0 of 0 matched
- Prices read September 2026

The verdict
A California clinic chain that answers the cost question with a phone number. The dash is not a soft C; it is what a withheld price earns.

Pros and cons
What we like
- The compounding pharmacy partner is named outright, with a phone number and an email — more than most of this market discloses.
- The care model is described honestly: weekly visits, lab-based biometric monitoring, and a clinic you physically attend.
- Every clinic is named with a street address and a phone number, and the online option is scoped to the same state rather than implied to be nationwide.
- The legal entity, its address and its governing law and venue are all stated plainly in the terms.
What could be better
- The one published figure is a promotional banner, and nothing on the site says what the $79 or the $379 covers.
- The cost FAQ is asked directly and answers with a referral to a phone call.
- Nine medication pages, zero medication prices. The only drug figure quoted is a retail average for someone else's counter.
- Four peptide and vitamin-therapy products are offered and none of them is priced.
What it is
A 14-clinic chain built around weekly in-person visits and lab-based monitoring, with online appointments available to members across the same state. It has been running since 2007, which makes it older than most of this market and older than the asynchronous prescribing model most online sellers use.
Everything is California — every clinic, and the online option too. That is also the state that pulled Wegovy and Zepbound off its Medicaid drug list this year, which makes what a cash program costs there a more pressing question than usual.

What it actually costs
One figure exists. A banner on every page reads get started for $79, struck through from $379, and no page anywhere says what either number buys. Not the getting-started page, not the program pages, not the FAQ.
Its own FAQ is asked how much it costs and answers with a refusal: the program is personalized, pricing depends on how often you meet and what your goals are, and you should call. That answer is inside a collapsed accordion, which we opened.
Nine drugs get their own pages and none of them gets a price. The only medication figure on the site belongs to someone else — a Zepbound FAQ quoting a roughly $1,300 average retail price and saying savings programs may cut it to $25. A grade measures what a company publishes, and this one publishes a phone number.
Who it's wrong for
- Skip it if you want to compare before you call. Eighteen pages and four opened accordions produced no visit fee, no membership rate and no medication price.
- Skip it if you are not in California. All 14 clinics are there, and so is the online option.
- Skip it if you cannot commit to weekly visits. The program is built around them, which is a real clinical choice and a real time cost — and we could not price it either.
- Skip it if you want peptides priced. Sermorelin, tesamorelin, NAD+ and glutathione are all offered here, and not one carries a figure.
How JumpstartMD works
Book a first visit
The getting-started page walks through what to expect at the initial appointment and gives a phone number for questions beforehand.
Come in weekly
The program is built on weekly visits with lab-based biometric monitoring, at one of 14 California clinics or online for members in the same state.
Find out the price on the call
The company's own FAQ says pricing depends on how often you meet and what your goals are, and asks you to call for it.

Is JumpstartMD legit?
JumpstartMD is operated by JumpstartMD, Inc., 350 Lorton Avenue, Burlingame, CA 94010. We read that off the company’s own terms of use on September 2026.
What that means
A known-positive control passed in the same run, so a real match would have surfaced. A letter would be worth knowing about; it would not by itself disqualify a seller.Pharmacy, prescribers and safety checks

Common questions
How much does JumpstartMD cost?
The company does not say. Its own cost FAQ answers that pricing depends on visit frequency and goals and asks you to call. Eighteen pages were read looking for a figure.
What does the $79 offer include?
No page says. The banner reads get started for $79, struck through from $379, and appears on every page we read without any explanation of what either figure buys.
What do the medications cost?
Not published. Nine drug pages carry no price. A Zepbound FAQ quotes a roughly $1,300 retail average and a $25 rate with savings programs, but neither is this clinic's own charge.
Does JumpstartMD offer peptides?
Yes. Sermorelin and tesamorelin appear under peptide therapy, and NAD+ and glutathione under vitamin therapy, available in clinic or as at-home kits. None of the four is priced.
Where are the clinics?
All 14 are in California, across the San Francisco Bay Area and Orange County. Online appointments are offered to members elsewhere in the same state.
Why we gave JumpstartMD a —
Read the full grading rationale
JumpstartMD publishes one number and declines to publish any other. A banner reading get started for $79, struck through from $379, runs across every page we read, and no page says what either figure buys — not the getting-started page, not the FAQ, not the program pages. Its own FAQ is asked the question directly and answers it with a refusal: the program is personalized, pricing is based on the frequency of meetings and the patient's goals, and the reader is told to call. That answer sits inside a collapsed accordion, which we opened on a fresh page load specifically so this would not be recorded as a control we failed to click. Eighteen distinct pages were read and four accordions opened, 22 page loads in all. No visit fee, no membership rate, no medication price for any of the nine drugs it names. The single drug figure anywhere on the site is not its own: a Zepbound FAQ quotes an average full-retail price of around $1,300 a month and says savings programs or insurance may reduce it to $25. The company also offers sermorelin and tesamorelin under peptide therapy, and NAD+ and glutathione under vitamin therapy, with no price on any of them. This is a California clinic chain — 14 named locations, plus online appointments for members throughout the state — and it names its compounding pharmacy partner, though only inside another collapsed FAQ. The grade is a dash rather than a letter because the company withheld the thing the grade measures, and it can climb out of it the day it publishes a price. FDA warning-letter screen on the domain and the address in its terms of use: 0 of 0 searched matched, with the controls passing in the same run.
How we reviewed JumpstartMD
- The cost answer lives inside a collapsed accordion, so a page read alone would have shown the question and no answer. We opened it on a fresh page load — the refusal is the company's own wording, not an absence we inferred.
- Eighteen distinct pages were read and four accordions opened, 22 page loads in total, including every program page, the FAQ, the locations page and both terms documents.
- There is no online checkout here to walk. The site books clinic appointments and quotes the price on a call, which the FAQ states directly.
- We screened the entity against the FDA warning-letter database by domain and street address and matched 0 of 0 searched, with a known-positive and a known-negative control passing in the same run.
