About Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

Located in Lawrence, MA, the Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program offers a dedicated weight management clinic designed to support families tackling childhood obesity through an evidence-based, multi-faceted approach. Our program recognizes that effective treatment requires more than dietary changes; we provide personalized counseling focused on family dynamics, communication, and motivation. Each patient benefits from thorough assessments by physicians and dietitians, tailored lifestyle intervention plans with six intensive clinic visits within three to six months, and ongoing maintenance support for up to a year. Our clinical team prioritizes creating individual action plans based on comprehensive evaluations, including physical activity and psychological assessments. We also collaborate closely with other specialties to support children facing complex medical issues, recognizing that mental health plays a critical role in overall wellbeing—approximately 13 percent of our patients require continuous psychological support due to the challenges associated with weight stigmatization. To begin treatment, we welcome referrals from Primary Care Physicians, ensuring that each child receives compassionate and effective care tailored to their unique needs.
