Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

Located in Roxbury, MA, the Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program is dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles among children and their families with a focus on effective weight management. Our evidence-based approach combines comprehensive evaluations from both physicians and dietitians, alongside a tailored intervention plan designed to empower families for lasting change. Each year, families benefit from detailed assessments, personalized action plans, and ongoing support through follow-up visits that promote lifestyle adjustments over time. Recognizing the broader challenges associated with childhood obesity, our clinically trained team also addresses psychological and social factors, offering counseling services to help overcome the stigmatization and emotional difficulties that can arise from being overweight. By working collaboratively with primary care providers and specialists across various disciplines, we ensure that each child receives the holistic care they need. To start the journey towards a healthier future, a referral from a Primary Care Physician is essential for evaluation and treatment within our program.
