Clinical nutrition is the branch of healthcare focused on using dietary interventions to prevent, manage, and treat disease, such as designing meal plans for diabetes, kidney disease, or recovery from surgery. Registered dietitians and clinical nutritionists working in hospitals and clinics apply it to assess patients' nutritional status and create individualized care plans. It draws on biochemistry, physiology, and medicine to address deficiencies, allergies, and chronic conditions.
