Mary-Anne Chamoun

Mary-Anne has worked in a clinical setting for 12 years since graduating
from the University of Sydney. She has become very familiar with
chronic and complex medical conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension,
weight loss, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), coeliac disease, food intolerance and
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Commencing 2020, she will also be working more closely
with bariatric patients who have had weight loss surgery. In addition, she has health
promotion and public speaking background, where I have mainly dealt with malnutrition and
nutrient deficiencies of older Australians.

Mary-Anne has a particular interest in diabetes and all associated conditions including PCOS and
insulin resistance. She approach all clients with compassion and understanding. With medical
research progressing, the area of nutrition is constantly changing and improving. Hence, why she is always working to stay up to date with the latest nutrition developments and guidelines. Mary-Anne
has recently completed the Monash University FODMAP Diet for IBS to improve her
nutrition knowledge and skills in this growing and often confusing area.

Being a mother of 3 children, she strongly emphasises the need to be creating lifestyle habits
that will last a lifetime and understands the frustrations when dealing with fussy eaters and
meeting children’s requirements. Through her clinical experience, she has also seen an
increase in children’s obesity where parents are so confused about lunchbox snacks and
children’s portion sizes. Her experience as a dietitian and mother will help to guide parents
through all their children’s nutritional needs.
