One Health
Human, planet, and animal health are interdependent and mutually inclusive.
Responsible Consumption Is Key
Our Why
MNT Scientific strives to save humanity. Conclusive research has been available for decades that points to food choice, particularly highly and ultra-processed foods (UPFs) as a primary contributing factors to "obsesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (inlcuding hypertension and stroke), cancer, dental diseases, and osteoporosis" (World Health Organization, 2002).
Food intake in today's food environment overtakes self control. Hyperpalatable foods, and hijacks our neurology, if we are unprepared or insufficiently equipped. Food industry competition and need for increased profits ensure obesogenic and chronic illness causing foods are purchased and enter our bodies. UPFs are no different than highly addictive, insidious narcotics, opiods, and other substances. However, these food substance wreak havok on the human body (Crimarco, Landry, & Gardner, 2022; Current Obesity Reports).
Unfortunately, our food industry must meet consumer desires to remain viable. This results in more and more UPFs on the market, marginalizing our delicious healthy foods, literrally, to the margins of our grocery stores.
MNT Scientific Registered Dietians are compelled to unsurface foods for our patients that serve, rather than harm, human health.
We subscribe to One Health basics which prioritize three interests: human, planet, and animal health. MNT Scientific's brief and practical interpretation is that if even only one is addressed, the other two necessarily follow.
MNT Scientific specializes in the first component listed, human health. Regardless of one's intentions, aligning human health with nutrition protects the planet and animals. Healthy consumption of animal products requires the animals to be raised healthy.
We understand food choice is not always under our direct control and MNT Scientific staff empathetically undertand and provide only respectful, client centered treatment. With our insurance based platform, we provide accessible, effective, and scientifically based treatment in a highly supportive environment.
