Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) With A Registered Dietitian Is Not Nutrition
Counseling, It Is Much More! MNT involves a specific diagnosis of a condition, a disorder or a disease that can be treated
with nutrition intervention. MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY IS AN INTEGRAL COMPONENT OF MEDICAL TREATMENT & MANAGEMENT
OF DISEASES SUCH AS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HIGH CHOLESTEROL, DIABETES, OBESITY, CANCER, IBS, PARKINSON'S, HIV, AND ALL OTHER
DISEASE CONDITIONS. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT PATIENTS WITH HEART DISEASE & DIABETES WHO REGULARLY RECEIVE MNT WITH A REGISTERED
DIETITIAN HAVE A MUCH BETTER CHANCE FOR HEALTH AND REQUIRE FEWER HOSPITALIZATIONS, SURGERIES, MEDICATIONS AND PAINFUL COMPLICATIONS.
Registered Dietitians have the specific training necessary to address nutritional interventions as part of a disease related
therapy. All RDs complete a minimum of a bachelor's degree at a U.S. regionally accredited university or college approved
by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education of the American Dietetic Association and pass a national examination
by the Commission on Dietetics Registration. MNT Medicare Provider Status is Limited to the Registered Dietitian.
