Medical Nutrition Therapy

Medical Nutrition Therapy, or MNT, is one of the primary services that we offer here at Rhode Island Nutrition Therapy.

MNT is a therapeutic approach to treating medical conditions and their associated symptoms, via the use of a specifically tailored diet and lifestyle plan. The personalized plan is then monitored by a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, or RDN.

The role of MNT is to reduce the risk of developing complications in pre-existing conditions such as type 2 diabetes as well as ameliorate the effects any existing conditions such as high cholesterol. Many chronic medical conditions can be prevented, managed or reversed with healthy diet and lifestyle changes. Your dietitian will guide, educate and support you with Medical Nutrition Therapy.
