Childhood and Adult Obesity Epidemic in America
America has had an obesity epidemic for several years, and it's not getting better. Our doctors felt compelled to provide nutritional counseling for our children and their parents. If everyone does their part in fighting obesity, perhaps we can win this fight.
The Sacramento Valley Pediatric Medical Group in Sacramento, CA, and the Pediatric Medical Center of Sacramento in Elk Grove, CA, want you to know that nutrition counseling is critical for small children, especially if your child has a chronic disease and medical conditions. Proper nutrition helps avoid malnutrition, assures good growth/development, increases immunity, and supports strong bones and healthy vital organs.
Our doctors are devoted and committed to providing excellent evidence-based nutritional care, starting at the newborn stage through age 21. We ensure that your child receives an individualized nutritional/physical assessment. We evaluate your child's oral/motor/sensory/developmental feeding skills/specific needs/delivery of nutrition/care monitoring/and identify risks.

Preventing disease/illness through better nutrition is our goal for your child. Eating healthy every day helps to promote wellness and energy and helps to keep disease and illness away. If your child happens to become ill, and they have been following a well-balanced and healthy diet, their immunity level can better fight off sickness.
