Kids in Action is a treatment program for children and adolescents with weight concerns, dyslipidemias, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome.

The program is a research-based behavior modification program focusing on nutrition, activity and psychological health.

The program is run by an experienced exercise physiologist, sports coach, and nutrition teacher. Management of medical issues is by a pediatric cardiologist.

The Kids in Action program focuses on a child’s and family’s health by developing healthy nutrition, activity and psychological habits through education and behavioral change. Each visit is designed to teach both the child and parent a new component of nutrition, implement new healthy behaviors, and to manage medical complications. Behavioral change is often difficult with many barriers along the way. During each visit the tools to live a long and healthy life are developed and motivation is improved.

No child or adolescent is the same and neither is any plan of action. Each program is designed with the specific medical, nutrition and activity characteristics of each patient in mind.

The Kids in Action program offers treatment at several clinics in the Bay Area to make the program convenient and accessible including Pleasanton, Fremont, Brentwood and Tracy.
