For Providers

Providing the Nutrition Component of Whole-Person Care

Partner With Us to Support Your Patients’ Nutrition Needs

We understand that in a busy clinical setting, there’s often limited time to provide the in-depth nutrition counseling patients may need to make lasting dietary changes.

At Northern Nutrition Group, we offer the time, clinical expertise, and compassionate support necessary to help your patients navigate nutrition recommendations with clarity and confidence.

Why Refer to Northern Nutrition Group?

Nutrition is deeply personal and often nuanced. While brief advice or printed handouts can be a starting point, some patients need more personalized, in-depth guidance. Without a full nutrition assessment, even well-intended advice can sometimes feel overwhelming or be misunderstood.

We provide:

  • Comprehensive, evidence-based nutrition assessments

  • Practical, personalized nutrition care plans tailored to each patient’s medical history, goals, and lifestyle

  • Ongoing support to help patients implement and maintain dietary changes

A Collaborative Approach to Whole-Person Care

Our Medical Nutrition Therapy Approach

  • Assessment & Diagnosis

    We perform a comprehensive nutrition assessment to determine the nutritional status and diagnosis. At this stage, we review client history, biochemical data, medical tests, medication and nutrient interactions, procedures, anthropometric measurements, and food and nutrition related preferences, habits, behaviors and goals.

  • Intervention

    Interventions may include, but are not limited to, recommendations on diet and/or supplement modifications, meal composition and schedule modifications, menu planning, behavior change, education, goal setting, referrals to community programs or specialists, and educational contacts and resources.

  • Monitoring & Evaluation

    We monitor and evaluate an individual's progress over subsequent visits. Incorporating motivational interviewing practices — or client-led care — to meet the individual's unique goals, motivations, and level of engagement. We continue to communicate results and progress with other providers to coordinate comprehensive care and effective treatment.

    While we are in-network with several insurance providers, coverage for nutrition services varies by plan and is not guaranteed. Some plans may offer out-of-network benefits depending on the diagnosis.

    We encourage all patients to contact their insurance provider to verify whether Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is a covered benefit under their specific plan.

  • We’re always looking to build relationships with providers who share our values and approach to care. When our clients need support beyond nutrition, whether in medical or mental health care, physical or functional therapy, or social and community-based services, we like to be able to offer them trusted options outside our scope.
