About Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program
The Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program in Stoneham, MA, is dedicated to combating childhood obesity through a comprehensive family-centered approach that is scientifically backed and effective. Our specialty weight management clinic offers a unique blend of medical, nutritional, and psychological support tailored to the needs of each child and their family. We begin with a thorough assessment by our dedicated team of physicians and dietitians, who create personalized action plans aimed at fostering lifestyle changes. Families engage in six intensive treatment visits over three to six months, followed by ongoing maintenance to ensure long-term success. Our program recognizes the importance of motivation and emotional readiness, addressing psychological factors such as social stigmas and depression that often accompany obesity. For children with more complex medical concerns, our collaborative care plans involve coordination with other specialists, ensuring comprehensive support every step of the way. A referral from a Primary Care Physician is necessary to begin evaluation and treatment, emphasizing our commitment to a holistic approach in healing and guiding families towards healthier futures.
