Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

Located in Walpole, MA, the Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program is dedicated to addressing childhood obesity through a multifaceted family-centered approach that emphasizes both nutrition and behavioral health. Our comprehensive weight management clinic stands out as a leading evidence-based service designed to support families in overcoming the complexities of obesity. Each patient embarks on a tailored journey that begins with an in-depth assessment by our team of physicians and dietitians, ensuring a personalized action plan is created. Over the course of six intensive clinic visits within three to six months, we provide not just lifestyle interventions but also psychological support to address issues of stigma and emotional well-being that often accompany obesity. Our clinical team collaborates closely with primary care providers and various specialists, ensuring that every child receives holistic and coordinated care. We recognize that some families may need extra guidance on communication and motivation before diving into behavior management, which is why we prioritize their readiness to change. With a strong commitment to helping children lead healthier lives, the Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program stands ready to assist families on their road to better health, requiring a referral from a Primary Care Physician to initiate the journey.
