Medical Nutrition Therapy in Austin, TX
Nutrition advice gets confusing fast when you are managing a medical diagnosis.
You may be told to lower cholesterol, support blood pressure, improve labs, manage symptoms, eat more protein, eat less of something else, or “just lose weight.” Then you search online and end up with a long list of rules that feels impossible to follow.
At Khan RD, we provide medical nutrition therapy for adults, teens, and families who want practical, evidence-informed nutrition support without shame, fear, or unnecessary restriction.
Sessions are available in Austin and through telehealth across Texas.

Reviewing your diagnosis, labs, symptoms, and current eating patterns
Building realistic meals and snacks
Supporting regular eating and nutrition adequacy
Adjusting fiber, protein, fat, sodium, or carbohydrates when appropriate
Creating meal ideas that fit your schedule and preferences
Reviewing supplements when relevant
Supporting appetite changes or medication-related nutrition concerns
Reducing food fear and all-or-nothing thinking
Coordinating with your physician or care team when needed
The goal is to help you make nutrition changes that are actually usable, not hand you a generic meal plan and hope it works.

Medical Nutrition Therapy Support FAQs:
-
Medical nutrition therapy is nutrition counseling for medical conditions, symptoms, labs, or diagnoses that can be supported through food and eating patterns.
It is more specific than general nutrition advice and should be tailored to your health history, preferences, and real life.
-
Not always. Some clients come in with a specific diagnosis, lab concern, or medication change. Others come in because they feel stuck with food, energy, appetite, digestion, or consistency.
If your needs are outside our scope, we can help point you toward the right type of provider.
-
Yes. Medical nutrition therapy does not have to make weight loss the main goal.
We can focus on labs, symptoms, energy, consistency, nutrition adequacy, relationship with food, and quality of life.
-
Yes. We can support clients taking GLP-1 medications by helping with meal structure, protein intake, hydration, fiber, GI symptoms, appetite changes, and long-term nutrition adequacy.
This support is nutrition-focused and meant to work alongside your prescribing provider’s medical care. We are not able to and never prescribe/recommend GLP-1 medications.
