In 1995, Dr. Donna Israel saw an opportunity. With a 12-year background in providing health and wellness services directly to employers as an employee benefit, she knew that both companies and employees could reap great rewards through high-quality nutrition counseling to address identified prevention and therapy needs. To realize this vision, Dr. Israel joined forces with Dr. Carol Ireton-Jones and colleagues to form PNT, Professional Nutrition Therapists.

PNT began contracting with home health agencies all over the country, and the benefits, both in reduced corporate costs and improved employee health, were immediate. Soon, PNT was the first dietitian-owned business in the United States to be accredited nationally and with commendation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. PNT was also the first dietitian-owned home healthcare business to be licensed by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services.

From beginning with a single client 14 years ago, PNT today has a network of over 500 registered dietitians to serve corporations and individuals across the United States and internationally. The company provides nutrition solutions through wellness programs and medical nutrition therapy to corporate employees, individuals, families and groups to prevent more costly treatments in the future, as well as offering product support for food and nutrition companies through their extensive registered dietitian network.
