Medical Nutrition Therapy
Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) provides assessment and nutritional diagnostic, therapy and nutrition counseling.  MNT is provided to patients with an illness, injury, or diet-related condition or disease, in order to benefit the patient's own health.  MNT includes setting goals for the patient's treatment and developing a specialized nutrition prescription that includes patient education and self-management training. MNT, which is also called therapeutic nutrition, has become an increasingly important component of integrated health-care systems.  Please note: if you have a medical condition that requires Nutrition Therapy you will need a physician order before proceeding with a nutrition appointment.
