Individual Nutrition Therapy
Improve your healthy eating habits
Food and nutrition play an important role in your overall health and wellness. Merrick Medical Center offers individualized Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) to help patients build sustainable habits and achieve their health goals through personalized nutrition care.
Medical Nutrition Therapy begins with a thorough evaluation of your nutritional status and health needs. From there, we work with you one-on-one to create a customized nutrition plan designed around your lifestyle, preferences and medical needs.
Supporting Health in Everyday Life
Every person’s health journey is unique. Our community dietitian takes the time to understand individual goals, cultural preferences and lifestyle challenges. She will help you create realistic nutrition plans tailored to your needs, helping build habits that stick.
