Medical Nutrition Therapy

This is an evidence-based medical approach to treating many chronic conditions with a personalized diet plan. A primary care physician orders and approves this diet plan, which is then implemented by a registered dietitian. Nutrition counseling for both adults and children is offered and consists of diet evaluation, education, goal setting and problem-solving barriers to success.

Participants will need a referral from their primary care physician and most insurance policies help cover this service.
