Is WCP right for your child?

If you are concerned about your child’s weight, Wellspring may be a natural next step.

Before joining Wellspring, many families have tried and failed with other information-based programs, diets, fitness training, or sessions with therapists or dieticians. Although these efforts are commendable, the lack of integration of all components and often the lack of intensity contribute to short-term weight loss, eventually weight regain, and typically further weight gain. The proven Wellspring program is the most effective non-surgical weight loss intervention, for any age group.

The key is to act now. Medical research shows that if your child is overweight now, he or she is very likely to become more overweight in the years ahead. Overweight adolescents are 17 times more likely to become obese adults than adolescents who are not overweight. If your child is not currently experiencing health issues (e.g., insulin resistance, diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, orthopedic problems, gallstones), these problems might not be far away.

In virtually all cases, excess weight negatively impacts self-confidence, energy level, mood and outlook. This unhappiness can also trigger or contribute to a range of negative behaviors, including poor academic performance.

Wellspring provides an after-school environment to lose weight, improve fitness, and make lifelong lifestyle changes that are sure to transform your child's body and life.
