Medical Nutrition <strong>The</strong>rapy<br />
About:<br />
Medical Nutrition <strong>The</strong>rapy, often abbreviated as MNT, is an evidence-based medical approach to treating<br />
certain chronic conditions through the use of an individually- tailored nutrition plan. This nutrition plan is<br />
ordered and approved by a primary care physician and implemented by a Registered Dietitian.<br />
Why do I need Medical Nutrition<strong>The</strong>rapy?<br />
Diet is an important part of everything we do. Food gives our bodies and our minds the fuel to think clearly and<br />
execute daily tasks. Everyone should see a dietitian every year, in the same way that you see the dentist or general<br />
practitioner every year. Diet affects every facet of our lives, from how we look, to how we feel, to how we sleep, to<br />
how we move, and even to how we think. With diet affecting our lives in so many ways, it’s important to have regular<br />
check-ups and interventions with a dietitian to assure that your diet is in good condition in the same way that you<br />
have check-ups and interventions with a doctor to make sure your body is in good condition. MNT can play a lifechanging<br />
role in reducing complications associated with certain chronic conditions, such and Type 2 Diabetes and<br />
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).Our dietitians use the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Evidence-Based Nutrition<br />
