Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is the nutritional management of disease by Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) working in clinical settings and private practice. Dietitians assess, diagnose and recommend specific and appropriate diets as therapy, using evidence based practice, best practice guidelines, nutrition care process and protocol tailored to individual patients/clients to help improve the nutritional status of any individual living with a disease(s). 

General nutrition advice is not sufficient for disease management. Specific dietary recommendations can help improve your life and nutrition status.  There are many things to consider; trigger foods, nutrient deficiencies, and symptom management. 

Dietitians work as a multidisciplinary team with other health professionals such as doctors, specialists and other allied health professionals to manage diseases like diabetes, cardio-metabolic diseases and gastrointestinal (functional and structural) diseases and or disorders. 

A simple change in dietary patterns can make a huge difference. However, that change should be specific and suitable for you, as we all have different bodies and needs. Consulting with an APD is as important as seeing a medical specialist. Improve your life with medical nutrition therapy.
