Pediatric Weight Loss with a Purpose: Serving Franklin, Brentwood & Greater Nashville
Helping Children Reclaim Their Health—and Their Confidence
In Tennessee, childhood weight concerns are often met with either generic advice or complete avoidance. At Life Pediatric Endocrinology, we offer a third path: a science-based, child-first, judgment-free medical program that helps families address weight with compassion, clarity, and real tools.
Our Confident Body Program supports families across Franklin, Brentwood, Cool Springs, and the greater Nashville area with a proven structure that blends weekly virtual coaching, clinical expertise, and tailored medical treatment.
A Medical Weight Loss Solution That’s Built for Tennessee Families
Developed by board-certified pediatric endocrinologists and led by Crystal McKenzie, PNP—a pediatric mental health specialist and nurse practitioner—the Confident Body Program is the only offering of its kind in the region.
It’s designed for families who want real change without shame, confusion, or one-size-fits-all plans.
What Makes the Program Different
✅ Led by experts in pediatric endocrinology and mental health
✅ Focused on long-term health—not crash diets or unrealistic expectations
✅ Weekly virtual coaching sessions with Crystal McKenzie, PNP
✅ Optional support with GLP-1 medications or metformin, when medically appropriate
✅ Available across Middle Tennessee through our convenient virtual care model
✅ 100% of participants have seen measurable improvements in health & confidence
The Role of GLP-1 & Metformin in Pediatric Weight Loss
While lifestyle strategies are foundational, some children benefit from medical intervention. In our program, medications like semaglutide (GLP-1) or metformin are used strategically and only when labs and clinical context support their use.
This isn’t a med-first model. It's medically responsible, family-centered care that always pairs medication with coaching, lab monitoring, and behavior change.
