Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

Located in Danvers, MA, the Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program is dedicated to transforming the lives of children facing obesity through a compassionate and evidence-based approach. This specialty weight management clinic prioritizes a comprehensive family and behavioral strategy, ensuring that each child receives tailored support for their journey towards a healthier lifestyle. Our services include thorough assessments by our skilled physician and dietitian, along with a personalized action plan that encompasses six intensive treatment visits within the initial three to six months, progressing to maintenance visits for up to a year. We understand that many families may need guidance on communication, motivation, and responsibilities before fully embracing behavior management. Our program addresses the psychological aspects intertwined with obesity, offering treatment plans and ongoing support for children experiencing emotional challenges caused by societal stigma. We collaborate closely with primary care and specialty clinics to create holistic care plans, and we warmly welcome families ready to take that crucial first step toward improving their child's health, all beginning with a referral from a Primary Care Physician.
