What is MNT?

Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is a therapeutic approach to managing medical conditions and enhancing overall health through personalized nutrition interventions. It involves assessing an individual's dietary needs, creating tailored meal plans, and providing ongoing support to promote optimal health outcomes. MNT is often utilized in the treatment of chronic diseases (such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and more), working collaboratively with healthcare professionals to integrate nutrition into comprehensive care plans.
