Medically-Supervised Weight Loss for Teens


A Positive Approach to Adolescent Weight Management

Today’s diet culture and social media’s unrealistic portrayals of beauty can be harmful to a teen’s self-image especially if they’re already struggling with weight issues. At Evora for Kids in St. Louis, we want every teen to feel confident in the body they have and provide them the tools to develop a positive relationship with food and exercise.

When teens are empowered to set healthy goals and encouraged on their way to reach them, they’re not only able to maintain a healthy weight, but improve their overall energy, mood, and self-esteem. 

Lisa Tritto, MD
Board-Certified in Pediatrics and Obesity Medicine

No teen wants to be judged or criticized as they take their first steps toward a healthier lifestyle. That’s why Dr. Tritto has created a truly welcoming environment where teens can share their challenges and frustrations and receive caring, compassionate support in return. Board-certified in both pediatrics and obesity medicine, Dr. Tritto provides evidence-based care for the treatment of childhood obesity and the empathy your teen deserves.

Collaborative Care Focused on Long-Term Health

Teens who carry excess weight are at a greater risk of lifelong health issues, including diabetes, heart conditions, and sleep apnea. At Evora for Kids, we steer teens away from a weight loss quick-fix toward real, sustainable lifestyle changes that can guide their health for decades to come.

With a lineup of nutritionists, therapists, personal trainers, and chiropractors under one roof, your teen has a team of caring, trusted experts by their side, ready to help them overcome any challenge that stands in their way.

Our whole-child approach to weight management includes:

  • Medical Management

    Dr. Tritto helps diagnose any underlying medical conditions that could impact your teen’s weight and customizes a care plan to your family’s lifestyle. She can also prescribe medications, including non-compounded GLP-1s, if needed to help your teen reach a healthy weight.

  • Nutrition Counseling

    Evora’s in-house dietician helps your teen develop the skills to make smart food choices, including reading nutrition labels, understanding serving sizes, and participating in meal planning. We also equip them with easy-to-follow recipes that feature their favorite foods so they can serve up delicious meals at home.

  • Personal Fitness

    Our certified nurse and personal trainer work one-on-one with your teen to develop fitness plans that incorporate a variety of activities they enjoy. Whether your teen loves to hit the gym or head outdoors, we’ll find an exercise regimen that fits into their busy schedule.

  • Motivational Coaching

    Struggling with weight issues can be especially difficult for a teen already dealing with school stress, peer pressure, and society’s diet culture. Our therapist helps them stay on track to reach their goals and promote true body positivity no matter what the scale says.

Support for Teens With Special Needs

Teens with special needs, such as ADHD, autism, Down syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, or mental health issues, including depression and anxiety, are at a higher risk of weight gain. Lower metabolic rates, sensory issues, medication side effects, and difficulties recognizing hunger cues can all make maintaining a healthy weight more difficult. Dr. Tritto specializes in creating customized care plans that align with a teen’s medical needs and are easy for families to follow.

A Concierge Teen Weight Loss Clinic in St. Louis

Between school, sports, and friends, your teen’s schedule is already packed. Waiting weeks for a doctor’s appointment and hours in a waiting room can send their weight loss goals off track. 

Evora for Kids is different. Because we are a direct-pay practice, your teen is our top priority. With longer, more frequent visits and direct access to your child’s provider, your teen always has the support they need. Plus, since your teen’s wellness team of chiropractors, therapists, nutritionists, and personal trainers is in one convenient location, there’s no need to drive from office to office.
