Healthy Lifestyles Clinic

Children with obesity are at increased risk of developing other diseases, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and liver disease, as adolescents and adults. By improving one's lifestyle, we can decrease the likelihood of developing these conditions.

Pediatric Associates of Alexandria's Healthy Lifestyles Clinic works with families to improve lifestyle habits, particularly related to eating habits, exercise, and sleep. We are a safe, nonjudgmental space. We make changes in a way and at a pace that works for each individual family. Our goal is for your child to learn how to make healthy decisions for themselves into adulthood.

Important Notes

• This is not a one-time visit. We meet regularly, often over the span of a year or more.
• We are NOT a weight-loss clinic and do not prescribe weight loss drugs.

If you have more questions or you think the Healthy Lifestyles Clinic would be helpful for your child, please contact our office for an appointment.
