Metabolic support at Integrative Health Partners targets the biological systems that regulate how your body produces, uses, and stores energy. Metabolic dysfunction — the cluster of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and visceral adiposity associated with metabolic syndrome — is now the most prevalent chronic health condition in America. Dr. Hendry addresses metabolic dysfunction through the functional medicine lens: identifying the specific drivers (gut dysbiosis, inflammatory diet, micronutrient deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction, cortisol dysregulation) and correcting them with targeted interventions.
How Metabolism Support Works
Metabolism support involves comprehensive metabolic testing (fasting insulin, HbA1c, HOMA-IR calculation, full lipid particle analysis, thyroid, cortisol, inflammatory markers), dietary and lifestyle assessment, and a structured protocol addressing identified metabolic barriers. Acupuncture for hypothalamic regulation and glucose metabolism, Chinese herbal medicine (particularly herbs with strong metabolic evidence — huang lian/berberine), and targeted supplementation form the therapeutic toolkit.
Conditions Treated with Metabolism Support
Your First Appointment
Bring prior metabolic labs (lipids, glucose, HbA1c). Describe your dietary patterns — this is a clinical conversation, not a judgment. Accurate dietary information is essential for precise metabolic intervention.
Why Dr. Hendry for Metabolism Support
Dr. Hendry's functional medicine training in metabolic medicine, combined with his knowledge of Chinese herbs with documented metabolic effects (berberine/huang lian for blood sugar, red yeast rice for lipids), provides a uniquely integrated metabolic support capability.
