Brannan Murphy

About Brannan

I have been a Registered Dietitian for five years, during which I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of patient populations. As an undergraduate, my passion evolved from helping people lose weight to empowering them to live active, healthy lifestyles. I understand that making lasting changes isn’t easy — it’s something I’ve experienced firsthand. That’s why I strive to celebrate every success and provide empathy and support during setbacks.

Approach to care

My approach to care begins with meeting you where you are. I want to understand what motivates and inspires you — your personal “why.” I incorporate principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and the Stages of Change model to help guide you toward your goals. Every session is led with empathy, and I aim to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard and supported.

Your first session with Brannan

Come prepared to talk about you! I want to learn what brought you here, the obstacles you’re facing, and what you hope to achieve through our work together. We’ll collaborate to set SMART goals, explore your long-term vision, and discuss relevant factors such as medications, lifestyle habits, and any medical conditions that may impact your progress.
