About Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

Located in Malden, MA, the Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program specializes in pediatric weight management, offering a holistic and evidence-based approach to combat childhood obesity. Our program recognizes the unique needs of each family, providing counseling on roles, responsibilities, communication, and motivation to ensure readiness for change. Each patient undergoes a thorough assessment by both a physician and a dietitian, leading to a tailored lifestyle intervention plan and ongoing support. Families benefit from a structured treatment regime that includes six intensive clinic visits over three to six months, followed by maintenance check-ins for up to a year. We also prioritize mental health, providing psychological support for the emotional challenges that can accompany obesity, such as stigmatization and diminished quality of life. Collaboration with primary care and specialty clinics ensures that every child's medical needs are addressed comprehensively. A referral from a Primary Care Physician is necessary to begin this journey toward healthier living for your child.
