Do I need Medical Nutrition Therapy?

Our diet, or what we consume as individuals, is one of the most important parts of our existence. Food provides fuel for our bodies and minds to operate and execute. It’s crucial that an individual’s diet consists of the appropriate nutrition that our bodies need to function and thrive.

Our diet impacts how we look, how we think, how we move, how we sleep, and how we function. A dietitian works with individuals to ensure that their diet is appropriate for their needs and nutritional standards.

What is Medical Nutrition Therapy?

Medical Nutrition Therapy, or MNT, is an evidence-based medical approach to treating chronic conditions through an individually tailored nutrition plan. It begins with an assessment from a Registered Dietitian, and then a tailored nutritional plan is prescribed.

What can I expect from my first visit?

Your first visit will begin with reviewing your completed medical forms, current food intake, health concerns, medical history, dietary supplement use, and talking about what your desired outcomes are.

We will work together to create a nutritional plan and follow-up appointments will track your progress from a medical, physical, and emotional perspective to ensure that the individually-tailored nutritional plan is working properly for you, and adjusting as needed.

Do you coordinate with other healthcare providers I am seeing?

Yes! In order to provide the most comprehensive care possible to our clients, we often communicate directly with other practitioners.
