What is a physician nutrition specialist?
Physician Nutrition Specialist® (PNS) is a physician with training in nutrition who devotes a substantial career effort to nutrition and who can assume a leadership role in coordinating interdisciplinary clinical nutrition services and education in academic health centers, other medical centers, private practice, and other health care settings. PNSs generally have backgrounds in the specialties of internal medicine, pediatrics, family medicine, or general surgery, and sometimes in subspecialties such as adult or pediatric gastroenterology, endocrinology, critical care, nephrology, cardiology, or others. They have completed a period of defined nutrition training, in addition to categorical residency training, that includes mastery of a defined core of knowledge and completion of a period of mentored clinical nutrition experience, which may be obtained in a nutrition fellowship or as part of training in another subspecialty. They have satisfied all requirements of, and are certified by, the American Board of Physician Nutrition Specialists.


Dr. Martin D. Fried - "Your Health and Nutrition is My Primary Concern"

Nutrition and diet therapies educate people about the connection between food and health. Nutrition Physicians promote good eating habits to help prevent disease and to treat preexisting conditions. Proper nutrition also helps regulate behavior, increase energy and boosts mood.
Physician Nutrition Specialists work with a patient's unique biological makeup to plan a diet regimen that will facilitate their return to optimal health. They may educate those with high blood pressure about restricting salt intake, encourage diabetics to take vitamin E supplements to prevent complications and help restore low serotonin levels in alcoholics and patients suffering from drug addiction.
Though many of us are aware that a healthy diet can prevent disease, not enough of us know about the healing power of food. With the right vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and amino acids, people can begin to fight all sorts of conditions from cancer to drug abuse.
Diet can provide a boost in daily functioning: oatmeal helps enhance memory, blueberries can heighten motor skills and salmon can improve cognition while preventing heart disease and blood clots.


Nutrition Counseling Nutrition counseling evaluates daily dietary intake and identifies areas where change is needed. If a certain food, for example, is worsening a patient's condition, a strategic menu may be designed to address this issue. To further help the patient, information, support and follow-up are also part of Physician Nutrition Specialist counseling.

Diet Therapy Diet therapy changes a patient's diet to treat conditions such as diabetes, obesity and celiac disease. This therapy looks into conditions that are triggered by ingesting certain foods. Children with ADHD have learning impairments. Experts have found that changing their diet may improve the condition.

Medical Nutrition Therapy Medical nutrition therapy follows the assessment of a patient's nutritional status. Evaluation may include a review and analysis of the patient's past medical, surgical, family, social and diet histories. Therapy can range from minor changes in diet, such as the restriction of fat intake for those with cardiovascular disease to the complete elimination of wheat, rye and barley in patients with celiac disease.

Weight Management Being overweight or underweight can affect cardiovascular functioning and endanger vital organs. Obesity is associated with increased risk of colon, breast cancer as well as diabetes, hypertension, gallbladder disease, pancreatitis and sleep apnea. Physician Nutrition Specialists can design weight-management programs that assist patients in all aspects of losing (or gaining) weight—including self-control, psychotherapy and behavior changes.

Tips from Dr. Fried, the Physician Nutrition Specialist and Artist

Dont eat within three hours of bedtime
Drink water- 8 glasses (8oz) a day
Buy only healthy foods and keep only healthy foods in your house
Include vegetables and fruits in each meal with a goal of 5 servings of fruits and vegetable a day.
Eat slowly, it takes twenty minutes for your stomach to tell your brain it is full.
Eat plenty of beans because they are high in fiber (about 6 -10 grams of dietary fiber per serving)
Plan what you will eat and eat what you plan for the day.
In children and adolescents, limit TV viewing to one hour a day.
Get active, be active, stay active. Try to increase daily activity with a goal of an hour of daily activity.

Physical activity may include structured activities, such as walking, jogging, strength training, or sports. It may also include daily activities such as household chores, yard work, or walking the dog. Pick a combination of structured and daily activities that fits your schedule.
If you have been inactive for a while, start slowly and work up to at least 30 minutes per day at a pace that is comfortable for you. If you are unable to be active for 30 minutes at one time, accumulate activity over the course of the day in 10- to 15-minute sessions. For example, whether you take three 10-minute walks or walk for 30 minutes all at once, you will achieve the same health benefits.
If you want to lose weight, you may need to do more than 30 minutes of physical activity per day. Remember that you can be active in several shorter sessions, and that your daily activities count towards calories used.

Get Started!
Here are some ideas to help you start your physical activity program:
Take a brisk walk around the block with family, friends, or coworkers.
Walk up the stairs instead of taking the elevator when it is safe to do so.
Mow the lawn.
Take an activity break at work or home. Get up, stretch, and walk around.
Park your car farther away from entrances of stores, movie theatres, or your home and walk the extra distance when it is safe to do so.
Take a beginner’s level low-impact aerobics or step class.
