Therapeutic nutrition is the clinical use of some nutrients.  A therapeutic diet is a tweak in a regular diet.

To fuel the body the best way, make your food the medicine. But, does the word “diet” make you think of an unpleasant weight-loss regimen? That is the type when they ask you to deny food for weight-loss.
