About Me
Moira Newiss DipION, mBANT, known as the ‘Brain Energy Reboot Expert’, is a nutritional therapy practitioner and health coach widely recognised for her work using ketogenic diets to help people with serious mental illness. She has published in the medical literature, presented at national conferences, appeared on the ground-breaking Metabolic Mind Podcast, and is a member of the scientific committee of the Public Health Collaboration, a charity with a mission to improve metabolic health. She is the author of Mood, Mind and Mitochondria which will be published on 19th January 2027 with Practical Inspiration Publishing and is currently available for pre-order.
Her recovery journey led her to retrain in nutrition and she spent three years studying at the Institute of Optimum Nutrition in London. Here she discovered ketogenic metabolic therapy, a high fat, very low carbohydrate diet that targets mitochondrial dysfunction and can reset metabolic health. Her own experience trying the ketogenic diet was like “turning a light switch back on”. She felt her brain and body seemed to “reboot the programme for energy”. She has since helped hundreds of people to use food as a powerful metabolic prescription to restore mitochondrial health and work magic for the mind.
After a 20-year career as a senior NHS manager Moira suffered burnout culminating in anxiety, depression, depersonalisation, and derealisation. She hit rock bottom and was unable to work, struggling with chronic fatigue, severe brain fog, and problems with cognition. At one point she began to lose hope, feeling she had become a burden to her family, and was desperate for a solution that didn’t involve medication.
