Medical Nutrition Therapy

Medical Nutrition Therapy: Evidence-Based Nutrition Care

Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is an evidence-based approach to treating medical conditions through the use of a personalized nutrition plan. It goes beyond general dietary advice—MNT involves comprehensive nutritional assessment, diagnosis, and intervention tailored specifically to your medical needs and health goals.

A Personalized Approach to Managing Your Health

Living with a chronic medical condition can feel overwhelming, especially when you're bombarded with conflicting nutrition information. That's where Medical Nutrition Therapy comes in. Through one-on-one counseling, I'll help you understand how nutrition impacts your specific condition and create a practical, sustainable plan that fits your lifestyle.

Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been managing your condition for years, I can help you:

• Understand the nutritional factors that influence your condition
• Develop meal patterns that support symptom management and overall health
• Navigate dietary restrictions without feeling deprived
• Learn to read your body's signals and adjust your eating accordingly
• Implement evidence-based nutrition strategies proven to improve outcomes
• Separate nutrition myths from facts, especially related to your diagnosis

Weight-Inclusive, Compassionate Care

My approach to Medical Nutrition Therapy is grounded in weight-inclusive principles. This means I focus on improving your health and quality of life through sustainable nutrition changes—not through weight loss diets or restrictive eating patterns.

You deserve nutrition care that:

• Respects your body and your experiences
• Addresses your health concerns without shame or judgment
• Focuses on what you can add to support your health, not just what to remove
• Recognizes that health is multifaceted and goes beyond the number on a scale
• Empowers you to make informed decisions about your own care
