Clinical nutrition is a specialized field that applies evidence-based nutritional science to prevent and manage medical conditions. Our registered dietitians work collaboratively with healthcare providers to develop personalized nutrition interventions that address specific health concerns, optimize metabolic function, and support long-term wellness.
Clinical nutrition involves the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of nutrition-related health conditions through evidence-based dietary interventions. It bridges the gap between nutritional science and medical practice, providing targeted support for individuals managing chronic diseases, metabolic disorders, and complex health conditions.
Our clinical nutrition services are delivered by registered dietitians with specialized training in medical nutrition therapy. We follow a systematic, patient-centered approach that prioritizes safety, efficacy, and sustainability.
Our clinical nutrition services address a wide range of medical conditions through targeted nutritional interventions. Each condition requires specialized knowledge and tailored approaches to optimize outcomes.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) encompasses conditions affecting the heart and vascular system, including coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure, and arrhythmias. Evidence-based nutritional interventions are integral to both primary prevention and secondary prevention strategies, working alongside pharmacological and lifestyle interventions to optimize cardiovascular outcomes.
Dyslipidemia, characterized by elevated LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, or elevated triglycerides, is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is a first-line intervention that can achieve significant lipid modifications, either independently or in conjunction with lipid-lowering medications, depending on individual risk stratification and lipid panel results.
Diabetes mellitus, both type 1 and type 2, requires comprehensive nutritional management to achieve glycemic targets, prevent microvascular and macrovascular complications, and support overall metabolic health. Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is a cornerstone of diabetes management, working synergistically with medication, physical activity, and glucose monitoring to optimize outcomes. For individuals with prediabetes, evidence-based dietary interventions can significantly reduce progression to type 2 diabetes.
Gastrointestinal disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and functional digestive disorders, require specialized nutritional interventions. Medical nutrition therapy addresses nutrient malabsorption, inflammation management, symptom control, and microbiome optimization while preventing malnutrition and supporting gastrointestinal healing.
Hypertension (elevated blood pressure ≥130/80 mmHg) is a primary modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney disease. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating pattern and sodium restriction are evidence-based first-line interventions that can achieve significant blood pressure reductions, either independently or as adjunctive therapy to antihypertensive medications.
Liver disease encompasses a spectrum of conditions including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), viral hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Medical nutrition therapy addresses metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, fibrosis progression, and complications such as hepatic encephalopathy and ascites. Nutritional interventions are critical for preventing disease progression and managing complications, with particular focus on weight management, metabolic health, and nutrient optimization.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires specialized medical nutrition therapy to slow disease progression, manage uremic symptoms, and prevent complications. Nutritional management must be carefully individualized based on CKD stage, presence of diabetes or hypertension, and treatment modality (conservative management, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or transplantation). Therapeutic diets focus on controlling protein, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and fluid intake while maintaining nutritional adequacy and preventing malnutrition.
Cancer and its treatments (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery) significantly impact nutritional status, requiring specialized medical nutrition therapy to prevent or treat malnutrition, manage treatment-related side effects, and optimize treatment tolerance and outcomes. Oncology nutrition addresses unique challenges including cachexia, altered taste and smell, mucositis, nausea, and gastrointestinal toxicities while maintaining adequate nutrient intake to support immune function, wound healing, and overall quality of life throughout the cancer continuum.
