Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

Located in Framingham, MA, the Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program offers a specialized weight management clinic dedicated to providing holistic, family-centered care for children facing obesity. Utilizing an evidence-based approach, our program emphasizes motivation and readiness for change, making it uniquely effective in addressing pediatric obesity. Families receive comprehensive assessments from a physician and dietitian, followed by a tailored intervention plan that includes six intensive clinic visits over three to six months, along with maintenance visits for up to a year. Our compassionate clinical team takes a proactive approach to care, collaborating with various specialists when needed, including child psychology and cardiology, to ensure the best outcomes for children with complex medical issues. Recognizing the emotional challenges that often accompany obesity, we also provide psychological support to help children cope with stigmatization and enhance their quality of life. A referral from a Primary Care Physician is required to begin this transformative journey towards better health and wellness for your child.
