What is Clinical Nutrition?

Clinical nutrition is the practice of analyzing if a person is consuming an adequate amount of nutrients for good health. Clinical nutrition involves studying what nutrients are necessary for your body to function and how what you eat affects your health.
Our clinical nutritionists are concerned with how nutrients in food are processed, stored, and discarded by your body, along with how what you eat affects your overall well-being.
NEUROMED has professionals in this field who assess your nutritional needs based on your family and medical history, lifestyle, and laboratory tests in order to make recommendations on your diet and individual nutritional needs. A clinical nutritionist may provide advice on changes to your diet that may help prevent disease.
