Nutrition counseling is a personalized, evidence-based approach to improving your health through food, habits, and behavior change. Rather than a one-size-fits-all meal plan, we work together to build sustainable routines that support your goals, lifestyle, and medical needs.

Sessions may focus on weight management, metabolic health, blood sugar balance, digestive health, hormone support, sports performance, or simply creating a healthier relationship with food.

We work with adults who want to:

• Lose weight in a sustainable way without chronic dieting

• Improve body composition and preserve lean muscle

• Support metabolic, blood sugar, or hormone health

• Navigate GLP-1/GIP medications with proper nutrition

• Improve digestion, energy, or performance

• Heal their relationship with food and reduce food stress

If you’re unsure whether nutrition counseling is right for you, we are happy to help you decide.

Yes — insurance coverage is available for eligible clients and plans. Many visits qualify as preventative nutrition counseling under the Affordable Care Act.

Coverage varies by plan and diagnosis. You can submit a free insurance verification form so we can review eligibility before your first session so there are no surprises.

Private-pay options are also available.

Your initial session is focused on understanding you.

We’ll review:

• Health history and labs (if available)

• Current eating patterns and routines

• Exercise, sleep, stress, and lifestyle factors

• Past dieting experiences

• Your goals and what’s felt hard in the past

You’ll leave with clear next steps and education.

Rather than rigid meal plans, we focus on flexible structure that works in real life.

Depending on your needs, this may include:

• Meal and snack frameworks

• Protein, fiber, and portion guidance

• Sample meals and grocery ideas

• Simple recipes or build-your-own meal options

This approach helps you build confidence and consistency — not dependency.

However, if a meal plan is your focus, we offer custom meal plans as an add-on service.

Yes. we currently support many clients using medications like GLP-1 or GIP agonists.

Nutrition counseling helps:

• Preserve lean muscle

• Prevent under-eating

• Manage side effects

• Support metabolism long-term

• Build sustainable habits for maintenance

Medication works best when paired with intentional nutrition.

Most clients meet:

• Weekly or biweekly at first

• Then transition to monthly as habits become more consistent

Frequency is individualized based on your goals, needs, and timeline.

Results vary, but many clients notice:

• Improved energy and digestion within weeks

• Increased confidence, and reduced preoccupation with food as habits become consistent

• Gradual body composition and metabolic changes over time

The goal isn’t just short-term progress — it’s long-term sustainability.

Tracking is optional and used as a tool, not a requirement.

Some clients benefit from short-term tracking for awareness; others do better with visual, portion-based, or habit-focused approaches. We’ll choose what supports you, not what adds stress.

No. At Hanley & Simpson Nutrition Counseling we don’t believe restriction leads to lasting results.

• Adequate fueling

• Protein and fiber focus

• Flexibility

• Enjoyment of food

• Real-life sustainability

This is about building a healthier relationship with food — not perfection.
