“The greatest medicine of all is teaching people how not to need it.”
— Hippocrates
This quote reflects the heart of my work. I believe true health begins with understanding your body and giving it the support it needs to function at its best. When we slow down, listen with intention, and respond with care, food and lifestyle become the most powerful tools we have for restoring balance.
That belief is what inspired Rethink Your Meal — a space where science meets compassion, where confusion becomes clarity, and where nourishment becomes a path back to feeling well, energized, and at home in your body again.
I help clients slow down, listen, and reconnect with what their bodies truly need. Together, we uncover the root of imbalance and create simple, meaningful shifts that ripple into every area of your life.
Because when you nourish with purpose and heal with intention, your body doesn’t just recover — it thrives.
– Catherine
Nourish With Purpose. Heal With Intention.
My passion for nutrition began in college, when I first discovered how powerful food can be in restoring balance and energy from the inside out.
But life took me through unexpected seasons. I became a mom, then a widow raising three children on my own, but my passion for nutrition never left. With my children’s blessing, I returned to school, earned my Master’s in Nutritional Science, and became a Registered Dietitian with advanced training in Functional Nutrition and Nutrigenomics — the science of how food and genes interact.
Working as a Clinical Dietitian taught me how resilient the human body can be. But it also showed me that true healing begins long before a hospital stay. My heart was drawn to helping people before they reached that point of crisis.
Balancing hospital work with a growing private practice eventually left me exhausted and feeling the very imbalance I was helping others overcome. That was my wake-up call. So, I stepped out in faith, left the hospital, and devoted myself fully to Rethink Your Meal — work that reflects my heart, my story, and my purpose.
It stopped being just what I did. It became who I am.
Your Story Matters
Nutrition isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection.
I teach clients to approach their health with curiosity and compassion instead of guilt or judgment. I listen to your whole story — not just what you eat. Your symptoms, routines, emotions, stressors, and past experiences all offer clues about what your body is trying to communicate. When we put those pieces together, everything begins to make sense.
My approach blends Functional Nutrition and Nutrigenomics to uncover the why behind
your symptoms. We look at the big picture of your health and create a plan that feels realistic, supportive, and uniquely aligned with your current season of life.
The goal isn’t a strict diet or temporary fix. It’s about creating a rhythm of nourishment that supports your whole self — physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
“Rethink Your Meal isn’t a diet- it’s a lifestyle transformation. It’s about learning how to eat, live, and care for yourself in a way that truly supports your body and wellbeing from the inside out.”
Catherine combines her Master's Degree in Nutritional Science with specialized training in Functional Nutrition and Nutrigenomics to create truly individualized health plans. Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, she examines your unique genetic predispositions and life circumstances to uncover the root causes of your health concerns.
With years of experience helping patients in critical hospital settings and private practice clients reverse conditions naturally, Catherine understands the overwhelming emotions that come with health diagnoses and weight stigma. She provides compassionate support that focuses on extending your health span—not just your life span–so patients can enjoy their whole life with optimal energy.
Catherine’s philosophy is to make nutrition coaching accessible and affordable for everyone. That’s why she has partnered with major insurance providers through which many of her clients pay very little or $0 out-of-pocket for Medical Nutrition Therapy. She also offers flexible payment plans for out-of-pocket services. She believes it’s never too late for new beginnings and is committed to walking alongside you every step of your wellness journey.
Note: All clients are required to have a credit card on file to book servicesTry a free consultation and learn about Catherine’s accessible, judgement-free and scientific approach to nutrition services. Access the compassionate care you’ve been looking for.
I work with adults who are ready to feel better but aren’t sure where to start. Many are navigating:
Many arrive feeling frustrated by conflicting nutrition advice or discouraged because what worked for others hasn’t worked for them. The issue isn’t your body — it’s believing in the “one size fits all” diet mentality.
My role is to quiet the noise, simplify the science, and help you understand what your body is truly asking for. Once you begin nourishing with purpose and understanding, everything else starts to come into balance.
I’m definitely learning a lot that will help me toward optimum health. Having a great coach is making a huge difference.
This was my first appointment with Catherine Henderson, RD, and I really enjoyed it. I had felt nervous going in, but she made me feel completely comfortable and I never once felt embarrassed. She explained everything clearly and took the time to make sure I understood. I also appreciated how she helped me set goals that felt realistic and achievable, which made the whole process feel encouraging instead of overwhelming. I’m leaving the appointment feeling very hopeful and motivated! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and nonjudgmental Dietitian Nutritionist.
She’s awesome

I met with Catherine this morning for the first time. She is very personable and someone I think people would like to work with if they are going to open up about their eating habits or struggles. I look forward to work with her. I appreciated her deep dive into looking at my starting point to see how I can reach my goals. She already had me come up with goals on our first meeting for accountability.
Great explanation on how food affects the body and good food recommendations and makes small obtainable goals per week it really makes you feel like your goal is within reach with a little bit of hard work
Catherine is very informative and detailed. Really wants to get to know you as a person and what your goals are and how to achieve them. First session in the hat. Excited to be accountable to myself with the positive feedback from Catherine to be able to achieve my long term goals.

Really helps to talk to a professionals that helps you stop and analyze the little things that make such a big difference in our daily routine when we don’t realize how much our daily life can affect our health and emotions. Talking to Catherine has helped me a lot with the process.
Catherine has amazing expertise with balancing life and health by focusing on building habits one step at a time so it’s not overwhelming! I’m excited to continue working with her!
For the very first time ever I feel like I have someone who listens to and hears me and cares enough to help me help myself. I have been from dr to doctor to doctor only to be told to lose weight, hand me a paper with an impossible 1000 calorie diet plan then move 9n to the next.
I did not feel judged, condemned or hopeless- rather I was open to hearing what she had to say which actually made sense and open to committing to this program to get my health in check. She explained things in a way that made perfect sense. I finally look forward to setting goals and having someone help me along the way!
Thank you so much for accepting me with all my flaws as your client and being willing to coach me to a more healthy and happy lifestyle and future.
I absolutely recommend Ms. Henderson!
I have really enjoyed working with Catherine Henderson – she is extremely knowledgable and I like that she continues each week to give me new ideas and menu plans!!!! She creates lots of handouts that are tailored to my specific needs and I continue to reference those. Catherine gives me recipe ideas and these not just foods for anyone – she eats how she talks! She is VERY Good and I highly recommend her.
I continue to work with Catherine and my numbers have improved!!! My cholesterol dropped 63 points!!! 63 points and my GFR went up 12 points and creatinine came down 0.3. – just amazing. I cannot wait each week to talk to her. Her handouts and menu plans are amazing. I am truly grateful to her beyond belief.
I have been so pleased with this experience!! It’s only been a handful of sessions, but I already feel like I have learned so much about my body and health. My insurance covers 100% of my visits which is also a huge bonus. I plan on continuing with Catherine so that soon I can feel totally in control of my nutrition 🙂
Catherine and I have been working together for two months. She has been responsive every day to my questions and my food logs. She is insightful, explains reasons and metabolic processes very well. She is helping me with my dietary goals and explains why some things are not working for my body.
Catherine is very good at what she does. As a nutritionist and dietitian she has encouraged me, giving me some ideas on how to move throughout the day more because I sit all day at work and gave me some ideas on different foods to eat. She liistens to me and then, gives me some ideas and goals to think about, and work towards she is very good at what she does, I appreciate all the help she has given me so far.
Cathrine was so easy to talk to right away. we already set a goal for me. i feel like she is the right fit for me on this journey- i appreciate her honesty and supportive outlook. really looking forward to working with her.
I’ve been working with Catherine for a couple of weeks, and she has really helped me hone in on what works for me where I’m at and has helped me better my eating habits in sensible, smart steps. I had gone through a long period of not really caring what I put in my body or the long term effects of poor health choices. However, Catherine has helped me feel empowered and recognize I matter and, in turn, so does what goes into my body. I’m glad I found a nutritionist who focuses on feeling better mentally, especially since I thought this process would just be about numbers and weight loss initially. So happy! 🙂
Having access to professional nutritionist is a blessing. Catherine is wonderful. Very professional, knowledgeable, and provides me you valuable information on my journey to having a healthy lifestyle. This days the internet is full with advice and not always good one. Being able to work closely with Catherine helped me to actually make the right choices and avoid the mistakes I was unknowingly making do to misinformation. Having her by my side I know that I will be able to make the right choices and become and stay healthy.
Catherine is sweet and kind and really listens to you. She makes you feel good about yourself and the projection of your journey with her. She is optimistic and helps you feel that way too about your health and yourself. She is really knowledgeable about the human body and nutrition. She helped me create goals that are achievable that made me feel confident I could actually achieve them. More importantly, she makes me excited to want to achieve them.
No judgment.
No overwhelm.
No quick fixes.
Just compassion, science made simple, and a clear path toward feeling at home in your body again — one meal, one choice, one small shift at a time.
