Why Choose A Registered Dietitian

RDs are known as the “nutritionexperts” who follow Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) guidelines to provide the most comprehensive and individualized care to improve health and quality of life. MNT includes a thorough nutrition assessment, planning and implementing a nutrition intervention using evidence-based nutrition guidelines, and monitoring and evaluating an individual’s progress over subsequent visits.
