Dear
Bait7Ofi a
number of
occasions,
I've heard the
phrase, "Medi-
cal Nutrition Therapy," or "MNT."
What is it? Thanks, Anne.

Opinion

As part of MNT, a dietitian
will.screen and assess the client
(including environmental
Tr variables), identify nutri-
tion-related problems, deter-
mine an appropriate plan
of action, and facilitate the
carrying out of that plan
– often as part of a team
effort with the client's
) primary health care
provider. A plan often
consists of goal-setting,
l ei
diet strategies/modifi-
cation, and vitamin and
supplement recommenda-
tions, which can be supported with
counseling and monitoring.
