Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

Located in Milton, MA, the Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program is dedicated to fighting childhood obesity through a collaborative family-centered approach that emphasizes behavior management, motivation, and readiness for change. Our weight management clinic offers comprehensive services, including thorough assessments by a physician and dietitian, lifestyle intervention through six intensive clinic visits, and ongoing support for up to a year. We understand that some families may initially need counseling on roles, responsibilities, and communication, which is why our team prioritizes individualized care and emotional support. Each child's journey begins with an extensive evaluation, followed by the development of a personalized action plan involving coordinated care with primary care physicians and specialists in disciplines such as endocrinology and child psychology. Our commitment to families also addresses the psychological impacts of obesity, offering tailored plans for those facing stigma and related challenges. A referral from a Primary Care Physician is required to access our specialized services, ensuring that every child receives the appropriate care they deserve on their path to health and wellness.
