Dietitian
Regan Moran
I moved from Canberra to the Hunter Region to study Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Newcastle in 2020. Before making the switch to healthcare, my previous life was spent working on construction sites and in security for several years. That blue-collar background has given me a realistic, down-to-earth perspective on nutrition. Having worked in demanding jobs, I understand how tricky it is to manage energy, physical demands, and healthy habits around a busy schedule.
I chose Dietetics out of a genuine desire to help people cut through rigid rules and confusing jargon. Food should be enjoyed, not feared. My goal is to deliver practical, evidence-based and sustainable strategies tailored to your everyday life.
Qualification and Professional Development
Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics (Honours) | University of Newcastle (Graduated 2023)
Monash FODMAP Trained | Specialised evidence-based protocol management for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), bloating and gastrointestinal symptoms.

Clinical Areas of Interest
Gut Health & IBS (FODMAP Protocol)
Navigating food intolerances doesn’t have to mean eating a restrictive diet forever. I guide clients through structured FODMAP protocols to pinpoint exact triggers and restore digestive comfort.
Feeding Difficulties & Fussy Eating (SOS Approach)
Using gentle, sensory-based methodology, I work alongside families to help children overcome food fears, broaden their diet and eliminate mealtime stress.
Men’s Health
I am passionate about providing a relatable, pressure-free space where men feel comfortable talking candidly about their health. My background in construction, security, retail and cleaning, allows me to connect easily with male clients and understand their day-to-day routines.
Chronic and Complex Health Conditions
Sustainable health changes don’t happen overnight. Working with clients long-term to see what truly fits their lifestyle and watching those changes transform their well-being is what motivates me every day.
Rural and Remote Practice
I am dedicated to increasing access to specialised dietetic care for rural and remote communities. By combining on-the-ground support with hybrid care models, I deliver culturally safe, practical and consistent nutrition services to regional areas.
Sports & Performance Nutrition
Having grown up playing sports and staying active, I love using nutrition science to help clients boost their physical performance, energy levels and recovery.
I Want It All
I am constantly expanding my clinical skill set and scope of practice to deliver the best possible care to every client who accesses my services.
favourite approaches to therapy?
Collaborative and flexible. I work side-by-side with my clients to create realistic goals and plans built around their unique preferences and the foods they actually enjoy. My approach is flexible and personalised rather than based on rigid, one-size-fits-all restrictions.
Favourite thing about your job?
Educating clients and watching them gain the confidence and independence to make smart, sustainable nutritional choices for themselves.
Fun Fact!
I won my first arm-wrestling competition at the University of Newcastle in 2023. I immediately announced my retirement so I could go out undefeated, at the top of my game!
