Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) and Nutrition Counseling are closely related but have distinct purposes and scopes:

MNT provided by registered dietitians, focuses on managing medical conditions with personalized nutrition interventions. MNT involves assessing an individual's medical history, current health status, dietary habits, and nutritional needs to develop tailored nutrition plans. These interventions are evidence-based and integrated into comprehensive healthcare plans to prevent or treat various health conditions.

Nutrition Counseling has a broader scope, focusing on healthy eating habits and preventive care. Nutrition Counseling encompasses assessing dietary patterns, setting goals, providing education, tools for grocery shopping and meal planning, guidance on mindful and intuitive eating, and offering support and accountability for lifestyle changes.

Our Medical Nutrition Therapy services, led by Registered Dietitians, address diverse health concerns, including:

• Cancer and Oncology

• Cardiovascular Disorders (e.g., heart failure, hypertension, hyperlipidemia)

• Endocrine Disorders (e.g., Diabetes Mellitus, PCOS, hypo/hyperthyroidism)

• Gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., GERD, celiac disease, IBD, IBS, food allergies)

• Hepatic Disorders (e.g., fatty liver, cirrhosis)

• Life Stages (e.g. pediatrics, adolescents, pregnancy, geriatrics)

• Pancreatic and Biliary Disorders

• Pulmonary disorders (e.g., COPD, cystic fibrosis)

• Renal Disorders (e.g., CKD, Dialysis, kidney stones)

• Weight Management

In the United States, the regulations governing dietitian licensure for offering Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) vary from state to state. For instance, certain states mandate dietitian licensure. During the Discovery Call, dietitians will inquire about your state of residence to determine whether they can offer MNT or if their services will be limited to Nutrition Counseling.

A Registered Dietitian (RD or RDN) is a highly trained nutrition professional, providing optimal health through evidence-based guidance. RDs undergo rigorous education, including anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and nutrition science, followed by a comprehensive dietetic internship. National certification through a challenging exam demonstrates proficiency. RDs commit to continuous professional development, staying updated on the latest nutrition research.
