Morgan is a dedicated registered and licensed dietitian who has always harbored an insatiable passion for nutrition. It’s a field where science intertwines with everyday life, and where misinformation can lead to significant consequences. Her journey into this realm began with a simple fascination for how food impacts our bodies, minds, and overall well-being. Along this journey, she realized the prevalence of misinformation surrounding nutrition. In today’s world where everyone seems to be an expert and fad diets reign supreme, separating fact from fiction can be a daunting task. Yet, it’s a challenge Morgan has wholeheartedly embraced. Her mission is to not only to provide individuals with sound nutritional guidance but also to empower them with the skills to navigate through the sea of misinformation. There is nothing more rewarding than witnessing that “aha” moment for patients or clients. It’s a moment of clarity that not only transforms their approach to food but also instills a newfound sense of confidence in their dietary decisions.
Morgan was born and raised in St. Louis, MO. She liked the idea of warm weather, so moved south to obtain her Bachelor of Science in Family Consumer Sciences at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. She completed her internship at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN with an emphasis on Medical Nutrition Therapy.
