Nutritional counseling at Integrative Health Partners goes far beyond generic dietary advice. Dr. William Hendry provides individualized nutrition guidance rooted in functional medicine principles — connecting what you eat to how your body functions at a biochemical level. Whether you are managing a chronic condition, recovering from illness, optimizing athletic performance, or addressing digestive dysfunction, nutritional counseling identifies the specific dietary patterns, deficiencies, and food sensitivities driving your symptoms.

How Nutritional Counseling Works

Nutritional counseling sessions include a detailed dietary history, food-symptom correlation analysis, review of relevant lab markers (inflammatory markers, blood sugar, lipids, nutrient levels), and development of a personalized nutrition plan. This is not calorie counting — it is clinical nutrition targeted to your biochemistry and health goals. Follow-up sessions track progress, adjust recommendations, and address barriers to compliance.

Conditions Treated with Nutritional Counseling

Your First Appointment

Keep a 3-day food diary (everything you eat and drink, with approximate times) before your appointment. This gives Dr. Hendry a realistic baseline to work from.

Why Dr. Hendry for Nutritional Counseling

Dr. Hendry's training in Chinese dietary therapy (food as medicine) combined with modern functional nutrition gives him a uniquely holistic perspective on how food interacts with your individual constitution and health conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not exactly. Dr. Hendry's approach integrates functional medicine lab interpretation, Chinese medicine dietary theory, and clinical nutrition — providing a more comprehensive framework than standard dietetic counseling.
The goal is finding the most liberal, sustainable diet that supports your health. Elimination phases may be necessary short-term to identify reactive foods, but long-term dietary diversity is always the objective.
Extensive research supports dietary intervention for autoimmune conditions, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, digestive disorders, and neurological conditions. Food is not a replacement for all medical treatment, but it is a foundational variable.
Dr. Hendry recommends dietary patterns based on your individual lab results, symptoms, and health goals — not ideology. A protocol that works for one patient may be counterproductive for another.
Most patients benefit from an initial 60–90 minute intake session followed by 2–4 follow-up sessions over 3–6 months. Complex cases or those requiring elimination protocols may need more frequent check-ins initially. Dr. Hendry structures the schedule based on your individual response and goals.
