Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

The Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program in Wilmington, MA, is dedicated to combating pediatric obesity through a comprehensive and family-centered approach that integrates medical, nutritional, and psychological services. Our specialty weight management clinic offers evidence-based interventions tailored to each child's needs, ensuring they receive the support necessary for long-term success. Families begin their journey with a thorough assessment from our experienced team, which includes both a physician and a dietitian, followed by a personalized action plan focused on lifestyle changes. Throughout the program, patients benefit from multiple clinic visits over several months, including ongoing support for complex medical issues in collaboration with other specialty clinics. Understanding the emotional aspects of health, we also address the psychological impact of obesity, providing necessary counseling to help children overcome stigmatization and improve their quality of life. Referrals from Primary Care Physicians are essential for evaluation and treatment, allowing us to connect with families ready to take the first step toward a healthier future.
