The Clinical Director and the Members of the Advisory Board of Healthy Living Academies are among the world's leading experts in weight loss and the weight reduction and control strategies employed at Healthy Living Academies programs have been proven to be effective by research published in top scientific journals.

Academy of the Sierras is the first therapeutic boarding school in the country for obese and overweight adolescents. We offer both short- and long-term programs and your child can continue his or her academic curriculum while enrolled. The Diet and Activity Management Programs at Academy of the Sierras focus on immediate and dramatic weight loss, while the Educational and Therapeutic programs promote long-term behavioral change so the weight stays off for good. These critical changes in weight and activity levels improve mood and self-esteem, and also resolve health issues stemming from excess weight. This allows students to accelerate their academic progress and achieve their potential. Learn more >>
