Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

The Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program in Hyde Park, MA, is dedicated to addressing childhood obesity through a comprehensive family-focused and behavioral approach. As a leading specialty weight management clinic, we utilize evidence-based methods that have shown to be effective for pediatric patients. Our program provides personalized assistance, including thorough assessments by physicians and dietitians, lifestyle change interventions, and ongoing support tailored to each child's needs. Throughout the treatment process, families engage in action planning and maintenance visits that focus on motivation, communication, and readiness to change. We prioritize the emotional well-being of our patients, offering psychological support to those affected by the challenges of obesity, including stigma and peer teasing. To ensure comprehensive care, we collaborate with primary care providers and specialists across various disciplines. A referral from a Primary Care Physician is necessary for evaluation and treatment in our program, where we strive to improve the health and quality of life for children and their families, fostering a supportive environment every step of the way.
