What is Medical Nutrition Management?
Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is a personalized, evidence-based approach to nutrition care that helps prevent, manage, and treat medical conditions through tailored dietary interventions. It is provided by qualified healthcare professionals, such as registered dietitians and nutritionists, who assess an individual’s nutritional status and develop a customized plan to support their health needs.
MNT is beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including:
• Diabetes management (Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes)
• Heart disease and hypertension
• Weight management (weight loss, weight gain, or maintenance)
• Gastrointestinal disorders (IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, acid reflux)
• Kidney disease
• Food allergies and intolerances
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Pregnancy and postnatal nutrition
• Pediatric nutrition for healthy growth and development
With nutrition management you can improve your overall health, reduce symptoms of chronic conditions, and enhance your quality of life.
