Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

The Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program in Braintree, MA, is dedicated to combating pediatric obesity through a compassionate, family-focused approach that emphasizes both behavioral and nutritional strategies. Our weight management clinic offers a unique, evidence-based method that directly addresses the complexities of childhood obesity, ensuring that each child's individual needs are met. Families participate in a comprehensive assessment, including evaluations by both a physician and a dietitian, as well as psychological screenings. Our structured program provides a tailored action plan and involves intensive support through a series of visits for lifestyle intervention over a three to six month period, followed by maintenance visits to foster long-term success. We recognize the emotional challenges associated with obesity, and therefore, our clinical team collaborates with other specialties to create holistic care plans. We are here to support families on their journey to healthier living, and referrals from primary care physicians are essential for evaluation and treatment.
