The Jumpstart Corporate Overweight and Obesity Solution:

Jumpstart offers eligible employees comprehensive corporate weight loss programs involving nutrition education, exercise, medical supervision, and ongoing behavioral modification. Our corporate programs provide affected individuals dramatic long term health improvements while providing the corporation with enhanced productivity and profitability.

Health benefits stem from improvements in conditions such as type II diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), obstructive sleep apnea, and metabolic syndrome. As a statistical example of the potential for weight loss to instigate cost savings, it is estimated that, “the average annual health care cost for a person with diabetes in 2002 was $13,243 compared with $2,560 for a person without diabetes.” Similar metrics exist for cost savings associated with associated improvements in hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome.
