The goal of Healthy Habits is to unite children and their families to achieve long-term dietary changes and physical activity through personalized group education in a friendly environment. In other words, Healthy Habits’ will encourage a lifestyle of activity and eating sensibly.

Creating Healthy Habits Week by Week

Healthy Habits is an eight week program incorporating both healthy eating and exercising in order to teach children to eat sensibly and be active. This weekly program was developed by Laura Cipullo, RD, CDE in cohort with medical doctors in response to the childhood obesity epidemic. Healthy Habits is a tool for families to prevent and or help children’s food and weight issues.

This program is for every child. It was designed to educate children of all shapes and sizes on how to make the appropriate nutrition choices for the rest of their lives. Each week the children learn new nutrition concepts through hands on activities led by a Registered Dietitian.

Physical activity is incorporated in a supportive and safe environment. The children exercise, learn yoga and dance with an exercise physiologist or dance instructor in a private studio. Meanwhile moms, dads and or caregivers may receive support and education from the Registered Dietitian.
