Personalized nutrition support for better health.

What is Medical Nutrition Therapy?

Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) helps people manage or
improve health conditions through food and lifestyle changes. At
Ampla Health, our Registered Dietitians work with you to create a
nutrition plan that fits your needs, culture, and daily routine.
MNT is available for many conditions, including:

Diabetes
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Kidney disease
Digestive issues
Weight concerns

Our team helps you understand how food affects your body, how
to plan healthy meals, and how to make lasting changes that
support your overall health.

What to Expect

You will meet one-on-one with a Registered Dietitian, either in person or virtually. Together, you’ll set realistic goals, talk through your eating habits, and build a plan that works for you and your budget. Sessions may include:

Food label reading and portion sizes
Grocery shopping tips
Carbohydrate counting (for diabetes)
Managing side effects from medications
Meal planning for your culture and lifestyle

How to Get Started?

To participate in MNT at Ampla Health, talk to your Ampla Health provider about a referral. Once we receive the referral, our team will call you to answer any questions and schedule your first session.

There is no cost to eligible beneficiaries to participate in the program.

Looking for General Nutrition Education?
