Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is the development and provision of a nutritional treatment or therapy based on a detailed assessment of a person’s medical history, psychosocial history, physical examination, and dietary history. It is used to treat an illness or condition, or as a means to prevent or delay disease or complications from diseases such as diabetes. The purpose of the assessment is to:

1. Determine the persons’ need for therapy
2. Set parameters to plan a therapy
3. Develop a therapy plan
4. Determine the best method to initiate the therapy
5. Evaluate the effectiveness of the therapy

Assessment Components

A medical history includes the assessment of acute or chronic diseases or conditions, as well as any surgeries a person may have had. Medication and drug or alcohol use should also be determined. The evaluation of interactions between food and medications is included because medications may interfere with nutrient absorption or increase the excretion of nutrients. Vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplementation can affect nutritional balance, and interactions with medications are also possible. Knowing the types and amounts of any supplements being taken is important both to determine if the supplementation is needed and to determine if too much of a particular nutrient is being used, which might result in an overdose.
