Meet Your Dietitian
Morgan Roberts, MS, RDN, LDN
Originally from North Carolina, I moved to New York City to complete my education as a registered dietitian. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Business Economics from Wofford College and my Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from New York University. I completed my dietetic internship at Mount Sinai Hospital and continued working at Mount Sinai Hospital as an inpatient dietitian. While working as an inpatient dietitian, I became proficient in tube feeding management while overseeing patients on the Intermediate ICU floor. I then worked as a lead dietitian at a private practice before founding Crave Nutrition.
I also have advanced training in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and stay up to date on research to know how to best support my patients. I acted as the lead dietitian for the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Chronic Care Management Clinic at Capital Digestive Care where I provided long-term comprehensive IBD medical nutritional therapy for my patients.
I have a multifaceted history with food and nutrition. It started during high school when I fell in love with cooking, leading me to spend hours at grocery stores looking at different foods in order to cook an exciting new meal or recipe for my family each night (if only I still had this stamina 15 years later!). This love of food and cooking led me to create a blog where I developed recipes and photographed them for my readers (shoutout to my blog, Sweetened with Sugar!).
I have my own history of being a patient of an RD, which is one of the reasons I wanted to become one. With various health issues and GI conditions myself, frequent doctor visits and medication trials became the norm. Eventually, a gastroenterologist suggested investigating the underlying causes of my symptoms by meeting with an RD. Through dietary changes and working closely with my RD, I discovered how profoundly nutrition can transform my health and overall life. Now, my aim is to help guide patients towards their own breakthrough moments so they can feel better as well.
I love digging into a patient’s history and symptoms, putting the puzzle pieces together, and determining the root cause of their symptoms. Everyone is unique and requires an individualized approach, so one-size-fits-all meal plans or cookie-cutter recommendations will not be found here.
I pride myself on taking a holistic approach, where looking at the whole body is vital. With my clinical expertise and gentle approach, I create a welcoming space for patients to achieve their goals in a realistic and sustainable way. I am a natural listener who prioritizes my patients’ needs above all. I find teamwork makes the dream work, and I love to collaborate with my patients to figure out which strategies will help them obtain their goals.
Living Sweet
When not meeting with amazing patients, I love to travel, try new restaurants in NYC with my foodie husband, Brad (current obsession is Nami Nori), go on walks with our mini Australian Shepherd, Luna (who might make an appearance or two during sessions), go to pilates, read (currently loving Emily Henry and Colleen Hoover), and spend time with family and friends.
