What is Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)?

Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is an evidence-based, therapeutic approach to managing medical conditions through a personalized diet plan. A registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) provides this formal process to help manage diseases such as kidney disease, diabetes, or heart disease, and it is often covered by insurance.
