Nutrition Therapy
Mission's Nutrition Therapy program helps you navigate within the mass of conflicting information about foods and health. Whether you need nutritional counseling for a specific condition such high blood pressure, liver disease, or an eating disorder, or if you just want to reach or maintain a healthy weight, we can help you identify and carry out the proper nutrition therapy program for you.
Nutritional Counseling for Your Medical Condition
When you have special nutritional needs, there's no need to figure out meal plans by yourself. Our clinical nutritionists can translate your doctor's diet recommendation into an understandable plan. We work with you one-on-one to develop a plan that:
- Sets healthy, realistic goals
- Is as easy as possible for you to follow
- Uses the food you enjoy
- Increases your chance for success
