What is Medical Nutrition Therapy?

Medical nutrition therapy, or MNT, is a science-based, personalized approach to improving your health through nutrition. At Weight In Gold, our registered dietitians, partner with you and, when appropriate, your medical provider to help manage and prevent conditions such as: 


  • Obesity and weight-related concerns
  • Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes
  • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) 
  • Hypertension and cardiovascular disease
  • Hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol)
  • Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) 
  • Binge eating and emotional eating 
  • Osteoarthritis and inflammation-related conditions 


Unlike one-size-fits-all diets, MNT focuses on you-your medical needs, lifestyle, and preferences. Together, we create a plan that helps you feel better, eat with confidence, and achieve sustainable progress.  MNT helps people manage weight, improve health markers, and support conditions like osteoarthritis. Our team works with each patient to develop a nutrition plan that fits their lifestyle, preferences, and medical needs.


Through MNT, patients gain practical skills to make informed food choices. This includes learning how to plan balanced meals, understand nutrient requirements, and build confidence around daily eating decisions. Regular check-ins allow our dietitians to adapt each plan as your goals and health needs evolve, ensuring progress is sustainable and realistic.


By focusing on evidence-based strategies rather than restrictive diets, medical nutrition therapy empowers you to make changes that last. Whether you are working toward weight health, managing osteoarthritis, or seeking guidance for other health conditions, MNT provides the knowledge and support needed for long-term wellness.

How Medical Nutrition Therapy Works

Our registered dietitians work collaboratively with you to: 


  • Review your health history, labs, and lifestyle
  • Develop a nutrition plan customized to your goals
  • Teach practical skills for meal planning and grocery shopping 
  • Address behavioral and emotional aspects of eating 
  • Adjust your plan as your needs evolve 


Each visit builds on the last, offering accountability and continuous support. Most insurance plans cover medical nutrition therapy, though services may apply toward your deductible. Our team will help you verify your coverage before your first visit.

  • Support joint health and inflammation related to osteoarthritis 
  • Address binge or emotional eating 
  • Break through weight loss plateaus or weight regain
  • Strengthen their relationship with food

Dietitian vs. Nutritionist: What’s the Difference?

It’s important to know who’s guiding your care.

Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist but a registered dietitian (RD or RDN) is a licensed medical professional with advanced training in clinical nutrition and chronic disease management.

 

At Weight In Gold Wellness, our dietitians use medical nutrition therapy as part of your comprehensive care plan, integrating seamlessly with our obesity medicine, behavioral health, and health coaching services.

The Weight In Gold Way

At Weight In Gold, we don’t hand you a diet. We help you build a lifelong relationship with food that fits your real life. 


Our approach blends science, empathy, and sustainability-focusing on progress, not perfection. We believe that nutrition care should support both body and mind, honoring the connection between food, mood, and overall health. 


Led by Dr. Leslie Golden, a board-certified specialist in family and obesity medicine, our team of dietitians uses the latest evidence and compassionate care to help you reach your goals-without shame, blame, or rigid restriction. 

Whether you’re starting your health journey, managing chronic conditions, or seeking to overcome weight plateaus or regain control after medication changes, our MNT services can help you move forward with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most insurance plans cover Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) when it’s medically necessary for conditions like diabetes, obesity, or heart disease. Our staff can help verify your eligibility and review deductible requirements; however, insurance coverage and payment for specific services can only be determined by your plan. Patients are ultimately responsible for any costs not covered by insurance.


Some insurance plans require a referral from your primary care provider. If you’re unsure, our team can assist you in obtaining one if needed.


No. We focus on realistic, sustainable nutrition—not rigid diets. Evidence-based nutrition support, combined with medical therapy, helps you reach and maintain your goals.


Our care is rooted in empathy and science. We don’t just prescribe diets—we help you transform your relationship with food, using a multidisciplinary, judgment-free approach that supports your physical and emotional health.
