About Jackie Halko, BSc, RD

Jackie is a Registered Dietitian, an active duty Firefighter and a former National Rowing Team Athlete for Canada & Poland.

While she proudly achieved the title of World Champion in 2012, her ultimate dream of competing in the Olympics remained just out of reach—a bittersweet chapter that taught her resilience, discipline, and perseverance.

After her rowing career ended, she faced a personal crossroads.

Navigating the challenges of redefining her path, she found new purpose in the firefighting profession—a calling that allowed her to serve and protect her community.

As a first responder, she developed a deep understanding of the unique physical, mental, and emotional demands placed on first responders.

This insight reignited her passion for health and performance, leading her to combine her background in high performance sport, nutrition, and firefighting into a new mission:

empowering first responders to optimize their health, build resilience, and thrive both on and off duty.

Today, she's proud to serve the first responder community through personalized nutrition counselling, offering practical tools to enhance their well-being and sustain peak performance in the face of life’s challenges.
