 Medical Nutrition Therapy
Medical Nutrition Therapy is an individual plan of healthy eating based on an individual’s nutritional needs and medical history.
The Medical Nutrition Therapists at Northfield Hospital are
Registered and Licensed Dietitians. Registered Dietitians are your most credible and reliable source of accurate nutrition information.
Registered Dietitians also work with
healthy people, teaching them about staying
healthy by selecting the right foods.
Balance, variety, and moderation are the
keys to healthful eating. A registered
dietitian can help you find a total eating
plan that works for you and your lifestyle.
We counsel people on many
different topics, including:
- Weight Control
- Bariatric Surgery
- Eating Disorders
- Diabetes
- Renal Disease
- Cardiovascular Disease
|
- Celiac Disease
- Cirrhosis
- Crohn’s Disease
- Food Allergies
- Nutrition Support
- Disease Prevention
|
Many insurance plans will cover your visit to see a registered dietitian. If your insurance company
does not, be sure to request this benefit. Medicare
allows a certain number of visits for people with
diabetes or end-stage renal disease. Check with your
provider to determine if you are eligible to see a
registered dietitian under Medicare.
