MNT - Medical Nutrition Therapy

​

​

Medical Nutrition Therapy, abbreviated as MNT, is an evidence-based medical approach to treating certain chronic conditions through the use of an individually tailored nutrition plan. This nutrition plan is ordered and approved by a primary care physician and implemented by a Registered Dietitian.

​
MNT can play a life-changing role in reducing complications associated with certain chronic conditions, such as Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Our dietitians use the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines to counsel patients on lifestyle changes and self- management skills.

​

What to Expect

​​

Our first meeting is an initial assessment and lasts approximately 60-90 minutes. During this assessment, we will review your medical and nutritional history, your goals for treatment and the best ways to support you with our services.

​

Follow-up sessions

 

These are follow-up meeting after the initial assessment and can run between 30-60 minutes. During follow-up sessions, we will review nutrition, health and body related challenges, successes and failures. We will focus on nutrition related skills, and provide evidence-based nutrition recommendations, if and when appropriate.
