Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

The Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program in Watertown, MA, is dedicated to combating childhood obesity through a comprehensive, evidence-based approach that prioritizes family involvement and behavioral change. Our specialty weight management clinic offers tailored services including thorough assessments by physicians and dietitians, personalized lifestyle intervention plans, and ongoing support through maintenance visits. We understand that each family’s journey is unique, which is why we focus on readiness and motivation to change. Initial visits involve extensive evaluations, including nutritional and physical assessments and psychological screenings, ensuring a holistic understanding of each child's needs. Our compassionate clinical team collaborates closely with primary care and various specialists to provide the best care possible, addressing not only physical health but also psychological well-being, as we recognize that many children face emotional challenges related to weight. A referral from a Primary Care Physician is required to initiate evaluation and treatment, allowing us to extend our support to those who need it most.
