About Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program
The Pediatrics Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program in Dedham, MA, is dedicated to addressing childhood obesity through a comprehensive, family-centered approach. Our specialized weight management clinic employs evidence-based strategies that not only focus on dietary interventions but also prioritize behavioral health and psychological support. We recognize that families often need guidance on roles, communication, and motivation to embark on their path to healthier living. Patients typically receive a full evaluation from our physician and dietitian, followed by a tailored lifestyle change action plan and intensive treatment during six clinic visits over three to six months. Our program includes maintenance and relapse prevention visits, ensuring ongoing support for the entire family. We understand the unique challenges faced by children with complex medical needs, collaborating closely with primary care and specialty clinics to create individualized care plans. The program particularly emphasizes the importance of motivation and readiness for change, offering in-depth assessments and specific plans to help families succeed. A referral from a Primary Care Physician is needed to begin the journey towards improved health and well-being.
