I couldn’t be happier with the results I’ve had after working with Barbara. You may have heard the saying “Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care”. I felt from the beginning that Barbara truly cared about helping me reach my goals. And it didn’t take long to find out she really knows her stuff! She exceeded my expectations in every way, and I have no reservations about recommending her to anyone serious about perfecting their sports nutrition.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started to look for a nutritionist after not getting the results I was hoping for from my Dirty Kanza/Unbound Gravel 200 performances. My physical gains were limited by my nutrition plan. I knew how important nutrition was for a long race like this and had done a lot of reading and planning to make sure I was dialed in, but it just wasn’t working.

Then I started working with Barbara and that all changed. I exceeded my goals this year at Unbound Gravel because my nutrition plan was dialed in perfectly. I remember passing so many riders struggling with cramps, bonking, and GI issues and thinking they would be in a much better place if they had worked with Barbara.

We began working with Barbara Lewin to help my 16 year old son learn better nutrition habits with regards to powerlifting. Barbara worked step by step introducing topics at a pace that we could understand and easily incorporate. Because of her program, my son has developed healthy habits, has defineable goals with regards to nutrition and most importantly to me, GONE are the days of unhealthy calorie restriction and last minute weight reduction. He is easily on target with his weight, and is eating and fueled the whole time. At his latest (national) meet, he had steady energy the whole day, even with very long waits between events. Barbara Lewin's program was the puzzle piece we were missing. Very excited to keep working her program.

My husband and I are physicians and both our children, 14 and 12 years old, are competitive swimmers. They swim and exercise on a daily basis and we were quite concerned about their growth, their nutritional requirements, whether they were getting enough calories and the types of food they were supposed to eat before and after practice. We needed advice about the quality of their diet, the quantity of food they are supposed to consume, when to eat before and after practice, what to eat, and how much to eat. After an online search for a nutritionist with expertise in both children and athletes, we found Barbara Lewin. Simply speaking, meeting her changed our life.

After the first online meeting with Barbara, my husband and I were highly impressed. It was quite obvious that she has a tremendous amount of knowledge and a vast expertise in the areas we needed help with. Even with our medical background, we learned many facts about nutrition that we were not aware about. We took notes of the advice she provided and she emailed us as well a summary of our discussion and a list of her recommendations after every meeting we had. She also sent us articles to read. Interacting with her was very easy for us and for the children. She is friendly, pleasant, funny, very approachable and an excellent communicator. She has a great way of discussing various aspects of nutrition with people of different ages and of simplifying nutritional concepts to both kids.

My son is a hardworking swimmer and we had concerns about the amount of exercise he was doing, his diet and his growth. Barbara delved into details explaining to him and to us what and when he needs to eat before practice and what and when to eat for recovery. Following her advice, he noticed rapid improvement in his power and endurance in the water. He is also experiencing faster recovery as he no longer feels fatigue and muscle soreness after training as much as he did in the past.

My daughter who gave us difficulties with her diet showed as well obvious improvements in her energy level ever since Barbara suggested changes to what she ate. Her longstanding constipation, for which she took medications, has resolved based on Barbara’s nutritional recommendations. Barbara emphasizes natural ways to tackle health issues rather than using pharmaceuticals. As a mother, she helped me understand how nutrition can help to optimize health and performance.

We feel very lucky to have met Barbara and we have learned a lot from her. Her online sessions with us are priceless and time passes very quickly when we are meeting with her. The service she provides is simply outstanding.

The best marathon I've ever run!
Hot and super hard course but I was consistent and in control the entire race!
I started working with Barbara in October of 2022 in an effort to build my endurance in the marathon distance. After a thorough review of my diet and fueling strategy, she quickly put together an updated game plan incorporating a new diet, hydration and fueling protocol. After a few weeks of implementing these changes into my various workouts, she then dialed in a complete pre-race and race day strategy. Her strategies helped me run even splits with no “wall.” Having never before had a strong second half, by following her plan, I finished strong on a difficult course under far less than ideal conditions.
Barbara is an absolute wealth of knowledge, and I credit her with my success. She will be instrumental in continuing to mentor me in my nutrition and fitness goals.

Barbara’s knowledge is absolutely incredible. I have been working with her for only a month and - without any exaggeration - I already put the results in the ‘life changing’ category.

I have been working with Barbara for the past two months and I have been completely impressed with her level of knowledge and expertise, attention to detail, responsiveness, and willingness to go the extra mile for me. It was evident from our first meeting that Barbara truly cares about her clients and is genuinely passionate about what she does. If you are looking to take your performance nutrition to the next level, Barbara is the one to get you there.

In these past two months until now, I am down to 19.4% body fat (down 2.5%), gained 5 lbs. of muscle, and have lost 5 lbs. of fat. Also, my AST/ALT liver test levels are down dramatically. My workouts are more intense, I am recovering quicker and more fully, and I am a more healthy individual. This is all thanks to Barbara sitting down with me and working with me to come up with a holistic nutrition plan of action.

I am a more complete athlete now that I am fueled properly and I only wish that I had made the call to Barbara sooner. Enthusiastically recommended!

I have consulted various times over the past 10 years with Barbara Lewin on various nutritional and health issues.

Barbara has always been a great resource, whether I was working on fine tuning my nutrition for Ironman triathlons, to providing a solid advice for fueling my ultra running events.

In addition, to sports nutrition, Barbara has been extremely helpful in assisting me with my day to day nutrition, and eating an overall balanced and healthy diet.

I would highly recommend her, to anyone who is looking to improve their fueling strategy for sports or general well being.

I have done endurance sports for 20 years and have always struggled with balancing getting to racing weight with fueling adequately to opitimize workouts. Working with Barbara I have dropped my body fat % to its lowest level ever while increasing my performance to new levels. We have also been able to focus on other health issues and find nutritional alternatives that have me healthier than I have ever been. I cant say enough about what a pleasure it has been to work with her to achieve my goals.
