Mini bio
How it started.
Jackie worked as an ironworker with Local 63 in Chicago before making recipes her full-time work. She began LowCarbStateofMind to share food she enjoyed while following a keto diet. As more people cooked her recipes, she put her energy into creating food content.
Finding her approach.
Her focus gradually moved from restrictive eating toward straightforward meals with plenty of protein. Fans came to know dishes such as her Roasted Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings and BBQ Chicken Crust Pizza. She now shares recipes in social videos and her nourished newsletter.
From posts to a cookbook.
Her debut print cookbook, The Powered by Protein Cookbook, was published by Clarkson Potter in November 2025. In August 2026, she introduced weekly dinner roundups in nourished, pairing meals she had cooked with a grocery list and asking readers for feedback on the format.
