Nutrition Therapy
It’s never too late to combat or alleviate the effects of high
blood pressure, high cholesterol, digestive problems, food
intolerances including celiac disease and lactose intolerance, or other
medical conditions.
Good nutrition will play an
important role in helping you get better, and making sure you
have the proper nutrition is a non-surgical method to avoid more
complicated problems. At Lee Memorial Health system, we
recognize nutrition as an important part of a healthy lifestyle.
A registered dietitian is a professional
trained in food and nutrition. A registered dietitian is qualified to address
