Medical Nutrition Therapy

Medical nutrition therapy uses dietary changes to improve your health if you have a chronic condition or want to prevent health problems. You may notice fewer symptoms and feel better when you follow the advice you receive in this service at Caldwell UNC Health Care.

Conditions We Treat

Ask your primary care provider about medical nutrition therapy if you have dietary restrictions, special nutritional needs or a health condition such as:

• Celiac disease
• Diabetes
• Heart failure
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Kidney disease
• Obesity
• Prediabetes

Personal Nutrition Counseling

Meet with our registered dietitian to make a personal nutrition plan. Tell your dietitian about the foods you eat, your eating habits, and your overall health. Check in regularly to talk about your progress and discuss any difficulties following the plan. We’ll help you make adjustments to meet your needs.
