Abstract

Integrative and functional medical nutrition therapy (IFMNT) is defined by in-depth assessment of a patient’s nutritional status followed by the implementation of a personalized therapeutic diet using food and targeted supplementation. There are several foundational diets that IFMNT practitioners employ. This chapter summarizes the overarching history and principles of therapeutic diets and reviews diets commonly used by IFMNT practitioners: elimination diets, low-histamine diet, low-carbohydrate high-fat (ketogenic) diet, and intermittent fasting. This is not meant to be an all-inclusive review of diets because practitioners should personalize the implementation of any dietary intervention he or she uses with a patient.
