Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

Located in Randolph, MA, the Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program specializes in providing pediatric weight management services through a comprehensive family and behavioral approach that is evidence-based and proven effective in addressing childhood obesity. Our program recognizes that each family is unique, and many may require counseling on roles, responsibilities, communication, and motivation before committing to behavior management. Every patient can expect a thorough assessment by both a physician and a dietitian, along with a tailored lifestyle change intervention that includes six intensive visits over three to six months followed by maintenance visits for up to a year. We also incorporate psychological evaluations and treatment plans, ensuring that mental wellness is a key aspect of overall health. Our dedicated clinical team closely monitors children with complex medical conditions, partnering with primary care providers and specialty clinics for coordinated care. We understand that the challenges of weight management often extend beyond physical health, and approximately 13 percent of our patients benefit from ongoing psychological support to combat issues like stigma, depression, and social isolation. An initial referral from a Primary Care Physician is necessary for evaluation and treatment in our program, positioning us as a vital resource in helping families embark on their journey toward a healthier lifestyle.
