Maverick for Children
(ages 6-10)

There are biological causes for weight issues in children, but many of the solutions start with lifestyle modification. Because of this, parents play a pivotal role in the treatment in this age group. My approach includes focusing on the family as an avenue for healthy changes…

  • Identifying and treating root causes for weight issues instead of a one-size fits all treatment plan.

  • Monthly visits with parent(s) for reevaluation, preventing your child from missing school on a monthly basis.

  • Appointments with your child every 3 months working on setting healthy habits and offering fun challenges.

  • Multiple opportunities to communicate and learn throughout the process without hearing the same boring or unhelpful information.

  • Use of Touchpoints from the Dr. Yum Project to help educate and direct healthy habits.

  • The first month consists of a 50-minute consultation appointment where we cover all aspects of weight and lifestyle.

  • Approximately one week after your consultation, we will return for an additional 30-50 minute where we will discuss my evaluation and detailed plan. This is where we really start to make some changes.

  • We will meet monthly to reevaluate progress, while continuing to learn new skills. These appointments are important to identify and detour any roadblocks.

  • Greatest success lies in frequent contact. This is done through check-ins on the online portal, educational materials and videos, “homework” (interesting), and newsletters every other Monday. While my intention is not to become a nuisance, you should feel a Maverick presence frequently.

  • You have the freedom to conclude your time with Maverick whenever you choose. There are no long-term commitments, and you can cancel anytime (see pricing details below). About a year should equip your child with the skills to sustain healthy habits. Nevertheless, additional support often transforms knowledge into action, so feel free to stay for as long as you and your child benefit from it.

  • Monthly membership fee of $139 which includes one office visit, check-in by phone or email portal and monthly support materials. There is a $100 initiation fee which covers your consultation evaluation and plan development. Please see pricing page for more details.
