Reduce cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure & weight in 15 days

Nothing in Jumpstart will go against doctor’s orders, so you should continue taking your medications. We recommend that you tell your physician or PCP that you are taking Jumpstart, so he or she can monitor any changes you may experience, and can taper dosages of your medications if necessary. For example, medication for high blood pressure and diabetes or pre-diabetes, as well as blood thinners, may need to be adjusted during Jumpstart.

Jumpstart can absolutely complement GLP-1 drugs. If you're already taking one of these drugs, Jumpstart will support your progress with a sustainable eating pattern that promotes satiety and weight loss—without the side effects or long-term costs of medication. If you're considering one of these drugs, know that a WFPB diet can produce many of the same benefits naturally by helping your body find a healthy weight set point and keeping you feeling satiated.

Jumpstart is designed for real life, not isolation. You’ll learn simple strategies for handling family meals, dining out, and conversations with others who may not understand what you’re doing.

You don’t have to be perfect or change everyone around you. Most people start with their own choices and lead by example, often gaining support along the way.

No! Most participants are surprised by how satisfied they feel. Our 15 Day Jumpstart follows a Very Low-Fat Whole-Food Plant-Based (or VLF WFPB) diet.

That means only plants, no oils, and also limiting high-fat plant foods like nuts, avocados, olives, and coconut. However, this is a lifestyle that focuses on abundance.

You’re not counting calories or restricting portions, and in fact, many people find they’re eating more food, not less, while still seeing results.

This program is designed to make healthy living easy.

Meals are simple, with no calorie counting or complicated prep, and the education is structured to be practical and efficient.

Most participants find that once they get started, it actually simplifies their routine rather than adding to it.

We’ve got you covered! Jumpstart participants get extensive support during Jumpstart and beyond.
You’ll receive:

• A detailed and comprehensive Jumpstart Guide to help you succeed
  
  

• Daily emails with tips, resources, and encouragement
  
  

• Access to our secure online platform: the RLMI Community
  
  

• A trove of recipes, and shopping, cooking, and meal prepping tips
  
  

• A vibrant support forum where you can ask questions and share your wins

PLUS: After Jumpstart the journey continues! Jumpstart alumni get extensive, ongoing support, including access to our monthly whole-food plant-based support group meetings in our membership community

Jumpstart is designed to give you results quickly but also set you up for what comes next.

By the end of the 15 days, you’ll have a clear understanding of what works for your body and how to continue on your own.

Many participants feel confident continuing independently, using what they’ve learned as well as thoughtfully adding back in some favorite plant foods while maintaining their results.

RLMI offers ongoing support through additional programs, coaching, and community options to help you stay consistent and keep improving over time.

We’ve instituted a Pay It Forward model to make Jumpstart as accessible as possible to those who need it, while still trying to cover our program costs. 

This means you can choose the price that works for your financial situation.

As a nonprofit, RLMI relies on the generosity of donors and participants to help cover costs and expenses, as program fees alone do not. So if you’re in a position to pay more, we invite you to do so. Your contribution directly supports others in accessing the care and knowledge they need to transform their health.
