Book an Appointment with Myrna HereWhat is Medical Nutrition Therapy?
MNT is defined as a “nutrition-based treatment provided by a registered dietitian nutritionist.” which includes a nutrition diagnosis as well as therapeutic and counseling services. Registered dietitians are food and nutrition experts who have met the criteria to earn the RD credential. Treatment recommendations are medically evidenced-based and act as a support in the prevention of disease.
What is the difference between nutrition coaching services
and Registered dietitian coaching services?
There is no criteria to be called a nutritionist or nutrition coach. Many on-line courses, or educational materials, provide any person interested in nutrition coaching a certification. The difference between a nutrition coach and RD is that a Nutrtion coach is not licensed in many states to provide nutrition therapy or create individual meal plans unless under the direction of a medical doctor or Registered dietitian.
Although a nutrition coach can be a good resource for education and motivational counseling and many times RD and nutrition coaches work as a team under the direction of an RD or MD to provide medical nutrition therapy and motivational counseling services.
