Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

The Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program in Dorchester Center, MA, is dedicated to empowering families in their journey toward healthier lifestyles, focusing on pediatric weight management through a comprehensive, evidence-based approach. Recognizing that treating childhood obesity requires more than just diet changes, our program implements a holistic strategy that includes personalized assessments and action plans tailored to each child's unique needs. Each year, patients benefit from a thorough evaluation by our expert team of physicians and dietitians, intensive lifestyle interventions over six clinic visits, and ongoing support for maintenance and relapse prevention. We also address psychological health, offering tailored treatment plans to combat the emotional challenges associated with obesity. Collaboration with primary care providers and specialized clinics ensures that each child's care is well-rounded and effective. Families seeking assistance must obtain a referral from a Primary Care Physician to access our program, where we provide a nurturing environment focused on motivation, communication, and lasting lifestyle changes.
