Question
I have zero appetite.  

ALmost 30 years ago I had anorexia nervosa, and since then I have never tried to starve myself again, but when under stress, my body rejects food. i have an absolute aversion to food.

My physical tests are all healthy.  I'm seeing a good counselor.  I just don't have an appetite and I am wasting away!  I'm taking high-quality supplements.

SO my question is What can I take to jumpstart my appetite?

Unfortunately, I know of nothing that can 'jumpstart' your appetite.  I think that this is a case of working with your counsellor in order to find a coping strategy that will help you deal with stress in a better way so as not to cause these problems.

I wish I could have been of more help, sorry!
