Medical Nutrition Therapy Inc. was established by Maen Owda, MS, RDN, MNT, as an effort to put the patient at the center of preventative healthcare. To treat the root cause, not the symptom. While Owda’s career as a professional football (soccer) player allowed him to experiment first-hand the impact nutrition has on human health and performance, he wanted to get a top-tier science background to back it up. After finishing his undergraduate studies from Brown University, he pursued a master’s of science degree and completed his clinical rotations at NYU Langone Health Hospital, which exposed him to a robust body of high-quality research and diverse patient population, “Health is fluid. It is not one-size fits all. That is why diets don’t work. It has to be simple, and personal.”, Owda says.
