ABOUT JACKIE

Jackie Meyer is a Master’s trained Registered Dietitian, Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist but most importantly a mother of 4 amazing children. She has been helping women find balance amongst burnout for the past 15 years but recently branched out with her own business endeavor, Nutritiously Ever After and Evergreen Love supplements to focus more on mental health and the holistic interventions that can encourage adequate management of our moods. After growing up with a mother with mental health struggles and dealing with her own anxiety she wanted to use her knowledge about food, supplements and metabolism to positively impact mothers and normalize the stressful and overwhelming situations surrounding motherhood. Her goal is to spread hope and show Moms that we are the most resilient of all if we keep even a little focus on ourselves.
