Medical Nutrition Therapy

Our staff Registered Dietitian Nutritionists provide assessment, counseling, and ongoing nutrition support to help clients manage chronic conditions, improve adherence to medical treatment, and better understand how food choices affect their health. Nutrition counseling is especially important for clients managing diabetes, renal disease, cardiovascular disease and HIV/AIDS.

Through phone counseling and in person visits at 901 N Milton, our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN’s) work with clients to create individualized nutrition plans. They set realistic goals and discuss lifestyle changes that will improve clients’ eating habits and long-term health. Our Nutrition Department has access to a secure telehealth platform for client care.

Nutrition Assessments 

When a client starts service with Moveable Feast, staff reach out to conduct a nutrition screening and assess risk level. Clients who screen at high nutritional risk and/or express interest in meeting with one of our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) via phone or in-person, home visits are available upon request.

A typical appointment lasts about 45 minutes and includes:

• A review of the client’s health background and education on specific nutrition topics relevant to that client’s history
• A physical assessment measuring the client’s weight, waist circumference, and body composition/fat stores (when in-person)
• Personal goal-setting based on the client’s own health priorities

Medical Nutrition Therapy helps clients manage their illnesses, their medications, and their medical treatments.

Our dietitians advise clients on how, when, and what to eat and drink ensuring that clients’ medications can do their job and improve day-to-day life.

Over 80% of clients surveyed agree that their dietitian made it easy for them to learn about how food affects their health.
