About Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program
Located in Hudson, MA, the Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program is dedicated to addressing pediatric obesity through a holistic family and behavioral approach that is evidence-based and proven effective. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by families, our specialty weight management clinic offers structured support that includes thorough yearly assessments by our skilled physician and dietitian, alongside tailored lifestyle intervention plans. Over the course of six intensive visits over three to six months, followed by maintenance appointments, we equip families with actionable strategies and ongoing support. Each patient's journey begins with an in-depth evaluation, including medical, nutritional, and psychological assessments, culminating in a customized action plan designed to foster motivation and readiness to change. Our dedicated clinical team closely monitors children with complex medical needs, collaborating with primary care and specialist clinics to ensure comprehensive care. With nearly 13 percent of our patients requiring additional psychological support to tackle the emotional challenges associated with obesity, we provide a compassionate environment where children and families can work towards healthier lifestyles. A referral from a Primary Care Physician is necessary for evaluation and treatment in our program, reinforcing our commitment to coordinated care.
