About Pediatrics - Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program

Located in Westford, MA, the Nutrition and Fitness for Life Program offers a specialized weight management clinic dedicated to empowering families to tackle childhood obesity through a comprehensive and evidence-based approach. Our program prioritizes a family-centered and behavioral framework to ensure effective treatments for children dealing with obesity and related health challenges. Each year, patients receive personalized services including thorough assessments by our skilled physicians and dietitians, six intensive treatment visits that promote lifestyle changes, and ongoing maintenance support for up to one year. In conjunction with our multidisciplinary team, which may include specialists in endocrinology and child psychology, we craft individualized care plans that address both medical and psychological needs. Recognizing the impact of weight-related issues on a child's emotional well-being, we also offer targeted psychological support, as approximately 13 percent of our patients benefit from ongoing counseling to navigate challenges like stigmatization and depression. To access our valuable services, a referral from a Primary Care Physician is needed, ensuring a seamless and supportive journey toward improved health for the whole family.
