What is Medical nutrition therapy? Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is a therapeutic approach to treating medical conditions and their associated symptoms via the use of a specifically tailored diet devised and monitored by a: certified clinical nutritionist [CCN], registered dietitian or Functional Doctor.

The diet is based upon the patient's medical and psychosocial history, physical examination, functional examination and dietary history. FNU- 422

What happens during a visit to a clinical nutritionist? First, the clinical nutritionist will ask you questions about your medical history, family history, and personal lifestyle. The medical history might include questions about your diet, digestion, history of weight loss or gain, sleep and exercise patterns, and relaxation habits..

Some clinical nutritionists will ask you to bring a 3 day food diary and list of any herbs, supplements, or medicines that you take regularly. Laboratory tests might be used to find out if you are low in any nutrients and to test your organ function. This way, a nutritionist will get a full picture of your nutritional lifestyle FNU- 422

During the second part of the visit, the nutritionist will suggest ways that you can fill the gaps and reduce the nutritional "overloads" in your diet. For example, your nutritionist may suggest that you eat your meals at different times or cut down on the amount of carbohydrates that you eat. The nutritionist will also offer advice on specific nutritional supplements if necessary. The nutritionist will then schedule follow up visits to monitor your health.
