Malnutrition & Nutrient Deficiencies

Personalized Medical Nutrition Therapy to support nourishment, strength, and nutritional health.

Malnutrition is about more than being underweight. It can occur when your body is not receiving, absorbing, or adequately using the energy and nutrients it needs—and it can affect people of different body sizes and weights.

Illness, digestive conditions, surgery, medications, poor appetite, difficulty eating, unintended weight loss, or increased nutritional needs can all affect nutritional status.

Medical Nutrition Therapy can help identify what may be contributing and create a practical plan to better meet your nutritional needs.

When Nutrition Needs More Support

You may benefit from nutrition care when eating enough or meeting your nutritional needs has become difficult.

Unintended Weight or Muscle Loss

Support when you are losing weight without trying, noticing changes in strength or muscle, or having difficulty maintaining your usual weight.

Poor Appetite or Difficulty Eating Enough

Strategies for reduced appetite, early fullness, difficulty finishing meals, or periods when food intake has become limited.

Nutrient Deficiencies or Absorption Concerns

Nutrition support when laboratory findings, digestive conditions, or other health concerns suggest that you may not be getting or absorbing enough essential nutrients.

Increased Needs During Illness or Recovery

Individualized nutrition care when surgery, chronic illness, treatment, gastrointestinal conditions, or recovery increase your calorie, protein, fluid, or nutrient needs.

What We’ll Work on Together

Your care begins with understanding your food and nutrient intake, appetite, weight changes, symptoms, medical conditions, medications, laboratory findings, lifestyle, and ability to meet your nutritional needs.

Depending on your needs, we may focus on:

Energy, Protein & Nourishment

Build nutrient-dense meals and snacks, improve meal frequency, and support adequate calorie, protein, fluid, and overall nutrient intake.

Weight, Muscle & Recovery

Support healthy weight restoration or maintenance, preserve muscle and strength, and adapt nutrition as your needs change during illness, treatment, surgery, or recovery.

Nutrient Repletion

Identify and address nutrition gaps, including concerns related to iron, vitamin B12, folate, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, zinc, thiamin, and other nutrients when relevant to your care.

Practical Strategies & Ongoing Monitoring

Create an approach that works with your food preferences, culture, daily routine, medical needs, and food access while adjusting your plan as appetite, symptoms, weight, treatment, laboratory findings, and nutritional needs change.

More Than the Number on the Scale

Nutrition rehabilitation is about helping your body receive the nourishment it needs—not simply reaching a particular weight.

The goal is to support adequate nutrition, strength, function, and overall health with an approach that is realistic for what you are experiencing now.

Nourishing. Individualized. Practical.
