Megan Morais, RD

Dietitian
MI
This provider is not licensed in the state of CT, HI, IN, MA, NY, OK, OR, PA, TX, VT, WA. I am a Nutrition Counselor with Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist (LDN) credentials. Originally from Southern California, I now live in lovely South Carolina! I earned my Bachelor’s in Dietetics and Master’s in Nutrition and Dietetics from Loma Linda University (LLU), which is also home to the only Blue Zone in North America—an area where people live the healthiest and consistently reach age 100. I returned to school as a single mother of two after a 14-year career in cosmetology no longer called to me. With associate degrees in Anthropology and Humanities, I felt drawn to nutrition as the influence of food in all human ways kept presenting itself to me. Food can change the outcome of mental and behavioral health—as I saw with my child's generalized anxiety—and can either work with or against us, as I witnessed with friends and family dealing with diabetes, disordered eating patterns, weight instability, migraines, and more. I found that the power of food and its impact on our body and mind is cyclical and interwoven in our lives as early as the womb—something this powerful was worth dedicating my life to. I set out to live in the ever-changing world of nutrition science and, as a mixed person of color, I know my representation is valuable. With experience in inpatient, outpatient, and long-term care facilities, my passion for disordered eating patterns guided me to become a dietitian. I work with individuals identifying as men, women, and gender fluid, ranging from adolescents to adults. My unique empathic and intuitive skills, combined with my nutrition knowledge, allow me to support and educate others in a sustained capacity.
