Welcome to Simply Sustainable Nutrition & Lifestyle. My name is Morgan Bragdon and I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and founder of Simply Sustainable Nutrition & Lifestyle. My passion for nutrition stems from helping people make long-term, sustainable lifestyle choices using a whole-foods, plant-based approach. Here at Simply Sustainable, I meet you where you are at in life to establish long-term, sustainable goals that will contribute to a healthier you. As a Registered Dietitian, I work to implement a non-diet mentality by approaching mindful eating and viewing food as fuel. At Simply Sustainable, eating is not focused on dieting, instead we work together to create sustainable changes that will cultivate a healthier lifestyle.
It just so happens that the best foods for preventing chronic disease are also the most sustainable for our planet! Here at Simply Sustainable, I provide one-on-one virtual nutrition counseling and provide the latest information on eco-friendly products that promote sustainability for our health and planet. Whether you are carnivore looking to incorporate more plant-based foods onto your plate or wanting guidance on living a plant-based, vegan lifestyle, I work with you one-on-one to get you there.

Increasing evidenced-based research has found that consuming a whole-foods, plant-based diet can decrease an individual’s risk for many preventable and chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Diet is the leading predictor of chronic disease risk. The CDC estimates that eliminating poor diet, inactivity and smoking would prevent 80% of heart disease and stroke, 80% of type 2 diabetes and 40% of cancer. 1 Large populations studies have shown that in Blue Zones , where people predominately eat plants, people experience less diseases, live longer and stay healthier while aging. With heart disease being the leading cause of death in the United States, it is vital for healthcare professionals to focus on lifestyle changes to decrease these alarming rates of disease we are witnessing today. Research has shown that plant-based diets in combination with healthy lifestyle habits can prevent and even reverse heart disease. By incorporating more whole, plant-based foods onto your plate, you will be able to reach your unique goals to become the healthiest version of you, decrease your risk for chronic disease and support a healthier planet.
