Englewood Health offers two nutrition counseling programs to optimize health and well-being.

Medical Nutrition Therapy

Englewood Hospital's outpatient nutrition counseling service provides comprehensive, individualized nutrition guidance through the use of medical nutrition therapy (MNT). 

This therapy includes assessment, nutrition diagnosis, and recommendations about dietary changes to prevent diseases and improve health.

Registered dietitians (RDs) work with patients to tailor a diet based on their diagnosis, dietary history, other health needs, and nutritional and lifestyle goals. 

Eligibility

This service is provided by appointment only. Patients who have a referral by a prescribing practitioner and a prescription stating the diagnosis or nutritional goal can receive outpatient nutritional counseling. Pediatrics, adolescents, and adults can benefit from medical nutrition therapy. People with the following conditions are often referred for MNT:

• Food allergies
• Diabetes and pre-diabetes
• Metabolic syndrome
• Hyperlipidemia
• Hypertension
• Renal disease
• Celiac disease
• Malnutrition
• GERD
• Overweight/obesity
• Cancer
• Gastrointestinal disorders, including IBD (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis)
• Bariatric surgery counseling

Appointments and Insurance
