Nutrition Counseling/Medical Nutrition Therapy
Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is an evidence-based approach to managing chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity through personalized nutrition care. It is provided by a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) as part of a healthcare team in settings such as hospitals, physician offices, and private practice.
MNT is often covered by insurance and may also be referred to as nutrition counseling.
