What we eat has a profound impact on how we feel, how our bodies function, and how well we manage chronic health conditions. The Medical Nutrition Therapy program at Ohio Hills Health Centers pairs patients with a Registered and Licensed Dietitian who provides comprehensive nutrition assessments and personalized diet education. Whether you are managing a specific diagnosis or simply looking to build healthier habits, our nutrition team will work with you to develop a realistic, sustainable plan that fits your life.
Conditions We Support
Medical Nutrition Therapy is an evidence-based approach to managing health conditions through individualized dietary intervention. Our dietitian works with patients dealing with a wide range of conditions, including:
- Diabetes — blood sugar management through carbohydrate awareness, meal timing, and balanced nutrition planning
- Cardiovascular Disease — heart-healthy eating strategies to support blood pressure, cholesterol, and overall heart health
- Renal Disease — specialized dietary guidance to help protect kidney function and manage fluid and mineral intake
- Malnutrition — assessment and support to restore adequate nutrition for patients who are underweight or nutritionally deficient
- Obesity — sustainable weight management strategies grounded in nutrition science rather than fad diets
- Gastrointestinal Disorders — dietary adjustments to ease symptoms and support digestive health
- General Healthy Eating — guidance for individuals and families looking to improve their overall diet and lifestyle
Each plan is tailored to the individual — taking into account your health history, lifestyle, food preferences, and personal goals. There is no one-size-fits-all approach here.
What to Expect
Your first appointment will include a thorough nutrition assessment, during which your dietitian will review your health history, current eating patterns, and health goals. From there, you will receive a personalized nutrition plan along with practical education to help you make informed choices every day. Follow-up visits allow your plan to be adjusted as your health evolves and your goals are refined over time.
Part of Your Care Team
Medical Nutrition Therapy at OHHC is fully integrated with our primary care and behavioral health services. Your dietitian communicates directly with your care team to ensure your nutrition plan supports your broader health goals. This collaborative approach means all the pieces of your care are working together.
