Medical Nutrition Therapy

Are you concerned about your eating habits?
Have you ever thought about seeing an expert to help you improve your food choices?
Do you wonder about the nutritional value of the foods you eat?
Has your doctor ever mentioned your need to lower your cholesterol or blood pressure or instructed you to change your diet for other reasons?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions or if you have other questions about food or nutrition, you may want to consider a consultation with a Registered Dietitian at the IMC Center for Nutrition & Weight Management.

Not all of the patients seen at the IMC Center for Nutrition & Weight Management are trying to lose weight. Some come for nutrition education because their primary care physician has recommended a diet with specific nutritional requirements: a high fiber diet, a low salt diet, or a low fat and cholesterol diet. For patients with these types of nutritional needs, we offer one-on-one Medical Nutrition Therapy with a Registered Dietitian.

What Conditions and Diseases Can a Dietitian Address?

The Registered Dietitians at the IMC Center for Nutrition & Weight Management are skilled at creating diets to help people who have been diagnosed with specific medical conditions meet their nutritional needs. Several conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, and elevated blood lipids can be treated with a combination of weight loss and specific dietary changes.
