Medical Nutrition Therapy
Eating as a Form of Medicine
Lifelong Diseases Require Special Diets
Sometimes life is unfortunate, and you may find yourself suffering from a life-altering illness. Thankfully, these can be managed through modern medicine. However, you may also need to adjust your diet in order to lead a healthy life. Those living with diabetes will need to adjust or remove sugary foods from their diet altogether. Those with hypertension or heart disease will need to avoid high cholesterol foods.
Medical nutrition therapy seeks to nourish your body in healthy ways while reducing the effects or symptoms of known diseases. Our nutritionists understand food and its tendency to trigger certain types of effects within the body. We help tailor special diets for our clients so that they can protect their health and lead lives without having to worry about chronic pain, digestive issues, fluctuating mood, or diminished energy levels.
At Maddie Stanton, we deeply believe in the power of healthy nutrition. What we eat and drink plays a significant impact in how our body functions and feels moment to moment. Why not use this knowledge and power to treat your body right? Combined with the proper medicine, your nutrition can make all the difference in how you live your life.
01 Diabetes
Diabetes is a life-altering illness that dramatically changes your diet. You must avoid foods that spike insulin levels such as sugary foods and processed carbohydrates.
02 Cardiovascular
Suffering from cardiovascular issues pertaining to your heart, lungs, or blood flow can also have an impact. You should avoid high levels of sodium, sugar, and fatty meats.
03 Digestive Issues
It may go without saying, but avoid eating difficult to digest foods such as greasy items, processed food, alcohol, spicy food, and too many raw vegetables.
