A Caregiver’s Guide to Nutrition That Could Actually Work for You…

Written By Jackie Robb

Let me guess…

You planned the meals.
Shopped for the groceries.
Tried to “eat better.”
And then... life happened.

Between forgotten school lunches, skipped breakfast, and finishing whatever your kid didn’t eat, your attempt to "get back on track" quickly turns into just trying to survive the day.

But then this happens, right…?

  • You crave sugar at 2pm.

  • You wake up at 3am.

  • You’re exhausted but wired at night.

  • And you blame yourself for having "no willpower."

Let me be clear: this isn’t a motivation issue.
It’s a mineral issue. A blood sugar issue. A nervous system issue.

And the solution? It’s not perfection. It’s nourishment that actually works for your real life.

Why Perfection Keeps You Stuck

You’ve been conditioned to think that eating healthy means:

  • Cooking every meal from scratch

  • Going gluten-free, dairy-free, fun-free

  • Never touching sugar

  • And doing it all with a smile

Spoiler: perfection is paralyzing.
You don’t need another rigid plan or diet to follow for three days and then abandon in shame.

You need to eat in a way that supports your energy, your stress response, and your actual schedule. That’s what "Eat Happy" is about.

What “Eat Happy” Really Means

It means:

  • Eating enough (yes, even carbs)

  • Prioritizing mineral-rich foods (hello, potassium)

  • Creating stability in your blood sugar, not spikes and crashes

  • Learning to notice how food makes you feel, not how perfect it looks

Because when your body is supported, your cravings calm down.
Your energy evens out.
And you stop living in that cycle of guilt, crash, and repeat.

Tiny Habits That Help You Eat Happy

Even on your busiest, most chaotic day, you can start here:

**PRO TIP- just pick ONE of these to focus on this week. Don’t do them all at once because that just leads to burnout again! 😜

  • Mineral mocktail in the morning: water + sea salt + splash of coconut water or OJ

  • Protein + carb pair at every meal: keeps your blood sugar steady

  • Eat before you crash: don’t wait until you’re hangry

  • Prep 2 foods you actually like: screw the kale if it makes you gag!

  • No food shame: yes, you can have the cookie and support your body!

This isn’t about a massive overhaul. It’s about building trust with your body again.

A Permission Slip for the Tired Woman Reading This:

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be supported.

You’re not broken. Your body is just asking for real nourishment in a way that feels doable, not overwhelming.

You don’t need to eat like an influencer. You need to eat like you… someone who’s been holding everything together and is finally ready to be cared for, too.
