Help manage and improve cholesterol, decrease blood pressure, improve diabetes control and more.
Nutrition therapy is a viable treatment approach that works well with your regular medical care. Physicians will regularly refer their patients to an RD for appropriate medical nutrition therapy for many conditions. In some cases, nutrition therapy is a cost effective adjunct or even alternative to medication and surgical interventions for diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity. Nutrition therapy also plays a vital role in the prevention of obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
