Medical Nutrition Therapy

Medical Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition is the cornerstone in the prevention and treatment of many if not most of `lifestyle diseases’ that afflict us.

Niti is a regular referral source for doctors for medical nutrition therapy of their patients. Your dietary habits play an important part in the treatment of lifestyle diseases, which generally begins with tackling obesity.

Obesity

Weight loss is an industry with a new fad diet every year. You want to lose weight the right way so that it is not a temporary phenomenon, you are able to keep it off and it does not affect long term health.

Weight loss should be exciting to experience, as you take control of your life, your health and your appearance. We will work together as a team to help you learn make the right food choices, while you do not feel deprived or unhappy, but yet lose weight. From busy stay-at-home moms to travelling business executives, there is an individualized approach for everyone.

Very often it is also important to explore emotional eating, since food is often used to provide immediate gratification. We will work to identify the triggers and empower you with tools to make informed choices not only for the period of weight loss but for long term weight management.

Lifestyle diseases

Obesity can lead to abnormal cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, elevated uric acid levels (gout) and fatty liver (NASH). Correcting dietary habits is the cornerstone of treatment for these lifestyle diseases.

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)

More and more women are suffering from PCOD. Altering your diet to reduce insulin resistance and weight loss – is the first line of treatment for PCOS.

Medical nutrition therapy is also very important for

  • Weight gain
  • Osteoporosis
  • Cancer treatment
  • Low energy levels
  • Eating disorders:
    Anorexia and Bulimia

Diabetes

Everyone knows that food habits and diabetes have a strong connection. People are different in terms of the amount of insulin their body produces, their tolerance to carbohydrates, their activity level and the kind of medication they are on. For this reason, pre-written diets just don’t work. The dietary prescription for diabetes is not a list of Don’ts. By tweaking dietary habits, we are able to reduce the medication / insulin dosage. Nutrition intervention also helps delay and control the progression of diabetes and its complications – such as chronic kidney disease.

Digestive diseases

What you put in your mouth of course affects the digestive system – be it acidity, reflux (GERD), IBD or food intolerances.

Nutrition for the Healthy Population

Nutrition plays a very important role for maintaining optimal health. Nutrition inputs are especially important in certain stages of life.

Prenatal and Postnatal nutrition

Right nutrition during pregnancy directly affects the growth and health of the baby and the mother. Right nutrition habits will also help you gain and lose the correct weight during and after pregnancy respectively.

Children

Childhood is the time of explosive physical and mental growth. It is most important that during this period, the children get their right building blocks to achieve their full potential.

Sports and Fitness

The hours of sweating it out, be it during the long training sessions for the elite athletes or in the gym for someone wanting to achieve desired fitness goals – will not give you results unless the dietary habits are completely tailored to the type and duration of activity. You will be able to get the best out of your workouts, only when the nutrition is optimized.
