Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

Located in Brighton, MA, the Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program specializes in enhancing children's health through a family-oriented and evidence-based approach to weight management. Our dedicated clinic addresses childhood obesity with a comprehensive plan that includes medical assessments from physicians and dietitians, personalized lifestyle change interventions, and ongoing maintenance support. Each child receives a tailored action plan, developed during an initial visit that encompasses detailed evaluations of medical history, nutritional habits, and physical activity, along with psychological screenings to address emotional well-being. Recognizing that each family's journey is unique, we emphasize motivation and readiness to change while offering intensive support through six clinic visits within three to six months, followed by maintenance appointments lasting up to a year. For those facing more complex health challenges, our team collaborates closely with primary care and various specialty clinics, ensuring holistic care that includes psychological support for the emotional aspects of weight management. A referral from a Primary Care Physician is necessary for evaluation and treatment in our clinic, where we're committed to making a positive impact on the lives of children and their families.
