About Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

In Lexington, MA, the Pediatrics Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program offers a compassionate and comprehensive approach to pediatric weight management, incorporating evidence-based techniques that have shown real success in addressing childhood obesity. Our clinic prioritizes not only medical assessments but also the emotional needs of families, ensuring that every child receives tailored counseling on communication, motivation, and role responsibilities. Each patient typically engages in a thorough evaluation from both a physician and a dietitian, followed by a personalized lifestyle intervention, which includes six intensive treatment visits over three to six months and ongoing support for up to a year. We recognize the complexities that some patients face and collaborate closely with primary care and various specialty clinics to develop individualized care plans. With a focus on empowering families to create sustainable change, our program is equipped to guide children with more significant medical and psychological needs, as we understand the profound impact being overweight can have on mental health and social well-being. A referral from a Primary Care Physician is essential for those seeking evaluation and treatment at our clinic, committing to a journey of health and support together.
