Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

The Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program in Arlington, MA, is dedicated to combating childhood obesity through a family-centered and evidence-based approach that emphasizes both nutrition and physical activity. Our comprehensive weight management clinic offers tailored assessments and evaluations by a physician and dietitian, coupled with a personalized lifestyle change action plan. Families engage in intensive treatment sessions for six months, followed by maintenance visits to ensure lasting success and support. We understand that every child’s journey is unique, which is why we place a strong emphasis on motivation, psychological readiness, and ongoing counseling. Our experienced clinical team collaborates with primary care and specialized clinics in areas such as endocrinology and child psychology to ensure we address the complex needs of each child, particularly those facing challenges like stigmatization and mental health difficulties. Our goal is to empower families with the tools and knowledge necessary to create healthier lifestyles for their children, with an initial referral from a Primary Care Physician required for all evaluations.
