Medical Evaluation
Metabolic and Psychosocial Screening
We begin with comprehensive medical screening to uncover potential root causes of excess weight — from hormonal imbalances to genetic factors. Our goal is to ensure no underlying issue goes undetected, so every child receives the personalized care they deserve.
Nutrition and Excercise
Developing Healthy Habits
Dietary changes guided by a Registered Dietitian (RD), exercise routine and behavioral strategies that involve the whole family. Our program is rooted in the AAP-recommended standard of care: intensive, family-based lifestyle treatment.
Prescription GLP-1 and Other Therapies
Medication and Supplements
For some teens, medication can be a safe and effective part of a broader care plan. When appropriate, we may consider FDA-approved treatments like GLP-1s alongside nutrition and behavioral support. We make these decisions thoughtfully, based on your child’s health needs.
Tailored Treatment Plans
Personalized Medicine
Every child’s journey is unique—and so is our approach. We tailor care to your child’s age, medical history, emotional needs, and family dynamics. By partnering closely with parents and caregivers, we create a plan that’s realistic, respectful, and built to last.
