​​​​​​​​​Medical Nutrition Therapy

The diabetes and endocrinology experts at The Christ Hospital Health Network offer Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) as a form of treatment to help with the management of various nutrition-related diagnoses. Our registered dieticians work with you and members of your healthcare team to develop a nutrition plan unique to you and your body’s needs to help you reach your maximum health. We combine your diagnosis with an assessment of your current nutritional intake to help you create a plan that we will continue to monitor and evaluate.

Plans vary by individual patient, but could involve:

• Helping you learn which foods or nutrients to avoid or to prioritize

• Developing a lifestyle plan to take help you take an active role in improving your health through proper nutrition and exercise based on your individual diagnosis, needs, and capabilities

• Adjusting your plan to ensure proper nutrition in spite of challenges such as food intolerances or ​access to certain foods

• Knowing when and how to utilize nutritional supplements when necessary
