Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

Located in Somerville, MA, the Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program offers a specialized weight management clinic focused on pediatric obesity treatment through a comprehensive family and behavioral approach. Recognized as the only evidence-based method for managing childhood obesity, our program addresses not only the physical health of children but also their emotional and psychological wellbeing. Families receive personalized care that includes in-depth assessments by physicians and dietitians, the development of tailored action plans, and vital counseling to boost motivation and readiness for change. Our services encompass six intensive clinic visits over three to six months, followed by maintenance visits to ensure long-lasting lifestyle changes. We believe in collaboration, developing care plans in partnership with primary care professionals and specialty clinics to cater to the unique needs of each child. Our dedicated team also provides support for those facing psychological challenges related to obesity, ensuring every child receives compassionate care. A referral from a Primary Care Physician is required to initiate evaluation and treatment, allowing us to provide the most effective support for families on their journey toward improved health.
