Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

The Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program, based in Plymouth, MA, is dedicated to empowering families through a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to managing pediatric obesity. Our specialty weight management clinic focuses on family-oriented strategies that prioritize behavioral change and support. Each child receives personalized care that begins with a thorough assessment by our physician and dietitian, followed by a tailored action plan encompassing lifestyle changes, ongoing medical evaluations, and psychological support when necessary. Recognizing that many families face unique challenges, we incorporate counseling sessions to enhance communication and motivation within the family dynamic. Our program emphasizes readiness to change, providing maintenance visits to ensure long-term success and address any complex medical needs in coordination with primary care and specialty clinics. With a commitment to fostering a healthier future for every child, we work closely with families to navigate the emotional aspects of obesity, providing compassionate care to combat the psychological impact of weight-related stigma. A referral from a Primary Care Physician is necessary for evaluation and treatment in our clinic, ensuring that each child's journey begins with the right support.
