Visit BrightBody if you want to understand why you're overweight and what to do about it. Our approach focuses on education because when you increase your understanding of how food impacts your body, you make better choices. We provide the greater Bay Area community with medical weight loss support, B12 injections, prescription medications, and educational seminars. We aim to reestablish the wisdom of food that's passed down from one generation to the next. Chronic diseases like diabetes are at historic rates because the community lacks resources for learning about nutrition. By offering affordable services and free seminars we help fill this need for education. Visit or call today to get started on your bright body.

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried many diets and weight loss pills in the past and have only lost 5-7 pounds. I’ve been visiting Bright Body for 9 months, Dr.Tara is heaven sent! She gives a thorough consultation and has great advice for any obstacle you may encounter along your new healthy lifestyle journey. Since then I’ve lost well of over 30 pounds, some months (especially Holiday Time) can get much harder but with monthly office visits I do feel it helps lot when you can discuss your struggles and see your progression. The staff there is great, huge Thank you to Monica, she’s very encouraging and welcoming! I meet with Dr. Rochelle recently, she is amazing as well. When I informed her I felt I was eating the same meals and had ran out of ideas, she gave me recipe ideas including recommending some book they have in office. It has helped me a lot in the past month! I’ve tried different diets in the past and nothing more than 5-7 pounds off. I highly recommend giving Bright Body a call today. You will not be disappointed!

Nando P 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Weight loss has always been a struggle for me. I have lost weight over the years using tracking apps and other methods. I would usually only lose maybe 10 to 20 lbs and eventually just gain it back. With that said, I have been going to a BrightBody for quite a few months now and have lost over 50 lbs somehow to date. it's the most weight I have lost in over 10 years and I'm just shocked at how I was able to do this. The most important thing Dr Tara Stoop would tell me was to change my lifestyle and focus on specific types of foods period, no counting calories or tracking. I eliminated Soda entirely as I used to drink several diet cokes a day, and also any drinks that had artificial sweeteners. For the most part I drink only soda water now and coffee with just a tad bit of cream. Dr Stoop will go into the science of how artificial sweaters and just sugar in general spike your insulin level, so eating foods like nuts and meat are key. I applied all of this and have had incredible results so far. People ask if I have been working out, but the reality is I haven't. The key to losing weight is having a healthier eating lifestyle. I do continue to get the lipolean shots, and you can also be prescribed an appetite suppressant which helped me a lot. I am not sure which of these things specifically (or just a combination of all of them) led to my weight loss, but it's been great. Overall I can't say enough about this place and will recommend it to everyone looking to lose the weight. The plans can seem a bit expensive, but for me it is definitely worth it as I have seen results.

Fantastic experience: Had such a greet meeting with Dr. Stoop she is such a gem very understanding, informative and motivating. She really cares about her patients and is invested for the right reasons just one meeting with her has opened my mind to my relationship with food for the better. And the ladys in the front are awesome and very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Where should I start... my husband was in a lot of depression due to his physical disability which kept him away from working and being physically active from daily activities, vacations, and the Gym etc...In addition he had gained over 40lbs which seen impossible to loose, then came across San Franskinny he was a little optimistic about this place but he wanted it give it a chance. It was the BEST decision he could have made. This program REALLY works, I was so amazed with the results and to see my husband feeling happy, more outgoing, and enthusiastic I decided to give it a try. My husband has lost 38 with in 4 months I've lost 11lbs but I just started. We highly recommend it. Staff member make you feel comfortable and welcomed. They are very helpful and supportive.

Liliana Sepulveda 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am so happy with san franskinny! I have struggled a lot with my weight until I started here. I got to learn a brunch of new things & became a life changer for me. I am currently 40pounds down, With the Lipolean & b12 alone has helped me so much! I have tried other things and doctors in the past to loose weight but nothing really worked for me till I came here. The way they show you everything from muscle mass to body fat really Helps you stay focus on what you want to change. I have had all my family into it & they are so happy as well with their results, I'm so happy I found this place! I recommend to every one. Not only because I work here but because since I been with them my life has had a big turn around ! no more fatigue no more bad habits & I couldn't be happier with myself, I probably wouldn't of been able to do it without this program. All thanks to San Franskinny!

Fantastic experience: Very supportive and caring staff. Love the fact they offer excellent vitamin packages and B-12 injections for weight loss and added energy, at a very reasonable fee. They help you with recipes and suggest alternative foods, organic too!, to assist you in weight loss. No meal plans to buy here, love it. Recently tried their Sleep Support mineral supplements. I've been suffering from insomnia for years and love this product! Feel so much better. By the way, I met my goal a year ago and have kept it off! Call them, they are really a nice group of people. Try their new B-12 weight loss shots with added Lipolean supplement. I noticed a big difference.
