About Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

The Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program in East Boston, MA, is dedicated to combating childhood obesity through a comprehensive, family-centered approach. Our specialty weight management clinic utilizes evidence-based strategies to deliver personalized care, focusing on behavioral health alongside nutrition and fitness. Each child receives an in-depth assessment by our physician and dietitian, followed by a tailored lifestyle intervention plan that includes up to six intensive treatment sessions within three to six months, as well as maintenance visits lasting up to one year. Understanding that readiness for change varies, we also provide counseling on essential skills like communication and motivation to empower families on their journey. In addition, our clinic develops coordinated care plans with various specialties, ensuring that children with complex medical issues receive holistic support. With a significant percentage of our patients requiring ongoing psychological assistance due to the social challenges tied to obesity, we are committed to fostering a safe and supportive environment where every child can thrive.
