About Me

Hey Friend!

My name is Danielle Moran. I'm a Registered Dietitian and Dietitian Nutrition Coach who loves to help people fall in love with food again! Here are a few things you should know about me:

1. ​I love Jesus! 
2. Many of my favorite memories are with family and friends in the kitchen or around the dinner table! 
3. My mission is to help you use food to feel and perform at your very best, so you are free to live in your unique purpose and create impact in the world!

In high school...

As a high school athlete, I had NO IDEA how to fuel my body. I had no idea why some games I felt great with tons of energy, and other games I was exhausted after the first quarter. I had no idea why sometimes I felt great the day after a hard practice, and other times I would be sore for a week. I've always loved food - cooking, baking, eating, reading labels - I just couldn't figure out how I could use that food to fuel my body and become a better athlete.

Until...

I became a Registered Dietitian with a Sports Nutrition emphasis! After working with athletes at two Division I universities, I can't wait to help you solve the mystery of how you can eat to feel and perform at your very best!  

In college...

In college, like so many others, I fell into the grip of diet culture and disordered eating. I started trying to eat as "healthy" as possible to be as thin as possible without listening to my body (which was hungry ALL THE TIME, btw). And it worked...I was as thin as I had ever been, and also as miserable as I had ever been! Can I tell you a secret about this picture? Even though I'm smiling and on the beach (which is no small thing for a girl from Nebraska), what I remember most from this trip  was how my thoughts were consumed by delicious-looking cookies I had bought, but wouldn't let myself eat. I don't want that for you, or for your child!

My nutrition education during graduate school saved me! This is where I learned about all the amazing BENEFITS of food, even fun foods like those (what I am sure would have been delicious) cookies!

Now, it is my absolute passion to teach you about how all foods can fit into a healthy nutrition plan, about how food can bring you joy, and how to avoid the trap of diet culture.     

Now...

Now, I am the founder and owner of Danielle Moran Performance Nutrition, LLC. I provide 1:1 nutrition coaching to help athletes feel and perform at their best while restoring or maintaining unity around the dinner table! If I am not working with amazing clients, you can find me spending quality time with my family and husband, on a walk, cooking/baking, at the zoo, or at a pumpkin patch. If you want to hang out from the comfort of your own home, you can also find me on Instagram or in my private Facebook community, Danielle's Nutrition Coaching Community! I hope to see you soon!
