Group Medical Nutrition Therapy FAQs

  • Group Medical Nutrition Therapy, or MNT, is evidence-based nutrition care led by registered dietitians —combining clinical expertise, peer support, and practical tools to help you improve your health with confidence.

    These medically informed group sessions are designed to help you make meaningful nutrition and lifestyle changes—while learning from both your dietitian and others on a similar journey.

    Our groups are highly interactive, and grounded in evidence-based care. You’ll receive guidance, accountability, and practical strategies you can apply immediately to everyday life.

    • Better outcomes through shared learning – Learn from real-life experiences, questions, and wins from others.

    • Built-in accountability – Regular sessions and group support help you stay consistent.

    • More support, lower cost – Access high-quality care in a more affordable, sustainable format.

    • Confidence through repetition – Concepts are reinforced over time, helping habits stick.

    • You’re not alone – Many people find comfort and motivation in knowing others face similar challenges.

    For many patients, group care becomes the catalyst that finally makes change feel doable—and lasting.

  • Flexible, expert advice when you need it. Book hourly support across a range of topics—from planning to problem-solving. This focused consultation will help clarify your goals, map out next steps, and identify opportunities for growth.

    You’ll never be put on the spot—and participation is always encouraged, never forced.
