Medical Nutrition Therapy at Balance Nutritional Health & Wellness

Key Components of Medical Nutrition Therapy:

1. Personalized Nutrition Assessment

MNT begins with a comprehensive evaluation of an individuals medical history, dietary habits, lifestyle, and specific health concerns. This helps create a customized plan that meets the persons unique nutritional needs.

2. Goal-Oriented Nutritional Planning 

Based on the assessment, an RD/LDN develops a nutrition care plan that focuses on achieving specific health goals, such as improving blood sugar control, lowering cholesterol, supporting digestive health, or achieving a healthy weight.

3. Therapeutic Dietary Strategies

MNT incorporates scientifically backed dietary interventions, such as macronutrient balance, portion control, mindful eating, and nutrient-dense food choices, to enhance overall well-being and manage medical conditions.

4. Behavioral & Lifestyle Modifications 

Beyond diet, MNT emphasizes sustainable behavior changes, including meal planning, mindful eating practices, and physical activity recommendations to promote long-term health and wellness.

5. Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustments 

Nutrition therapy is an ongoing process that involves regular follow-ups to track progress, make necessary adjustments, and provide continuous education and motivation.
