Nutrition experts to help you achieve your health goal
Diet is an important part of everything we do. Food gives our bodies and our minds the fuel to think clearly and execute daily tasks. Diet affects every facet of our lives, from how we feel, to how we sleep, to how we move, to how we look, to how we think. With diet affecting our lives in so many ways, it’s important to create personalized interventions with the assistance of a dietitian to assure that you are supporting your overall health with diet.
What is MNT?
Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is a therapeutic approach to treating medical conditions and their symptoms through the use of diet and a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) to help treat medical conditions. It involves a comprehensive assessment, nutritional diagnosis, and treatment plan.
MNT is different from nutrition education, which provides basic nutrition information to the general public and isn’t intended to treat medical conditions. Instead, MNT instructs individuals on how to use their diet to best support their medical conditions. It not only addresses existing medical conditions, but also attempts to lower the risk of new complications.
Appointments available:
- One-on-one
- Televisit
- Group setting
MNT is only provided by a qualified dietitian and a physician referral is required for treatment. If you would like to meet with a dietitian, ask your provider or call 651.788.4444 to see if you qualify for a referral.
MNT is covered by many insurance plans. Check with your insurance provider or employer to see if MNT at Entira Family Clinics is covered. Private pay is also accepted.
