The Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program in Jamaica Plain, MA, is dedicated to providing effective, evidence-based solutions for managing pediatric obesity through a comprehensive family-centered approach. Our specialized weight management clinic prioritizes not only physical health but also emotional well-being, ensuring that children and their families receive tailored support for their unique needs. Each patient embarks on a journey that begins with thorough medical, nutritional, and psychological assessments, leading to a personalized action plan designed to inspire lasting lifestyle changes. Our program emphasizes motivation and readiness, with structured interventions that include in-depth evaluations by our skilled medical and dietary professionals, intensive treatment sessions, and ongoing maintenance visits for up to one year. We collaborate closely with primary care providers and specialists to develop individualized care plans that address complex medical issues and provide support for the psychological challenges many children face, such as stigma and social marginalization. A referral from a Primary Care Physician is necessary to initiate the evaluation and treatment process, ensuring that each child receives the best possible care and guidance on their path to a healthier life.
