Nutrition therapy

A dietitian is an expert in nutrition and diet who helps patients with nutritional treatment of chronic diseases, weight management, eating disorders, and planning special diets.

The need for nutrition therapy is often related to diabetes, heart disease, celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, kidney disease, or supporting a child’s growth. The dietitian assesses the patient’s current diet and gives personalized instructions.

Cooperation with a physician, physiotherapist, and other members of the care team is essential when nutrition is part of a broader treatment plan.
