Pediatric and Adolescent Weight Management Programs in St. Louis
Healthy Habits Start Here
Empowering Body Positivity
Maintaining a healthy weight is more challenging than ever for today’s kids. Busy schedules mean less playtime and more fast-food drive-throughs, and weekends are now spent on screens rather than at the park.
Childhood obesity can have an immediate impact on your child’s self-esteem and a long-term effect on their overall health. However, by modeling healthy habits and partnering with Evora for Kids in St. Louis, you can help them make smart choices, stay active, and build a positive relationship with food. Evora’s medically-supervised pediatric weight loss program for kids ages 5-18 features a collaborative team of pediatricians, nutritionists, therapists, and personal trainers who can uncover the causes of weight gain and create a game plan to help your child reach their goals.
In our clinic, there’s no judgement or criticism – instead, your child will find a space that’s fun, positive, and empowering.
Board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine provider Dr. Lisa Tritto specializes in both traditional and integrative medicine to care for the whole child, instead of focusing on diet and exercise alone. She’s here to support them at every step and celebrate every milestone.

Kids Weight Loss Clinic
Promoting healthy choices early in life lays the foundation to help your child thrive. By prioritizing healthy foods, focusing on active play, and guiding families toward small lifestyle changes, the Evora team takes the stress out of weight management for kids.
Teen Weight Loss Clinic
The teen years can be especially tough on a child struggling with their weight. Social media, hormonal changes, and a lack of physical activity can steer them toward the quick-fix, toxic diet culture. At Evora, we empower your teen with tools for long-term success and the emotional support they need to power through any challenge.
Weight Management for Children With Special Needs
When a child has a disability, such as ADHD, autism, or Down syndrome, they are twice as likely to gain weight compared to their classmates. From sensory issues and dietary challenges to medication side effects and metabolic differences, any number of complex factors can contribute to the need for childhood obesity treatment. As a pediatric weight loss doctor, Dr. Tritto can work directly with your child’s care team to customize a care plan that addresses different eating behaviors.
A Wellness Plan That Works
To the childhood obesity specialists at Evora for Kids in St. Louis, your child isn’t a number on a scale, but an incredible individual who deserves compassion and respect as we start this journey together. By helping your child take control of their health, they can develop a positive body image and boost their confidence for years to come.
