Scott Padgett - Triathlete

Hometown: Annapolis Maryland

Scott started working with Barbara to finally add the missing piece to his performances…a dialed in nutrition plan. “No athlete is the same, and Barbara understands that, she has taken what works best for me and perfected it to make it as effective as possible” I worked with Barbara towards my “A” race which was the Beach to Battleship Ironman in Wilmington, North Carolina. “We nailed my nutrition plan leading up to the race as well as my race day nutrition” which lead to a smashing of my previous PR by 40 minutes and awarding me 5th overall and 1st Amateur. After a trip to the Ironman World Championships, Scott is working with Barbara to reclaim his spot on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Damon Shields

In 2014 watched my daughter finish Ironman Louisville. It was one of those moments you never forget as a parent. Inspired by my little girl I entered the crazy world of age group triathlon competition at age 69. Initially I thought all I needed was good equipment, a good tri coach, and hard work. I was wrong. I learned very quickly that key to success in any athletic endeavor is fueling the engine, meaning diet and nutrition. If you have ever bonked or cramped you know what I'm talking about.

Fortunately I found Barbara Lewin who is well known for her contributions to Olympic and world class athletes. Barbara's approach is specific to each individual and fine-tuned to ensure that you have the energy and longevity to succeed as a competitor and the knowledge to establish a healthy diet, not just for sports, but for a long and happy life.

In july of 2016 I finished my first half Ironman event and I can say unequivocally that I would not have done it without Barbara's help.

Dan Daley

Testimonial

"I won the race! I made the 300 in 21 hrs 46 min. The climb to 10,000 ft was pretty steep and long. It was hot and many racers dropped out due to the heat. I never felt better!

I completed the Ring of Fire 12 hr TT in Maupin, Or this weekend. I finished second overall, and 1st in my age group with 163 miles. I finished in fine shape and could have gone further if needed.

Thank you Barbara!"

Paola Peretti

testimonial

"For the very first time in 10 years I felt simply great! I started my journey with Barbara 10 days before the Chicago Marathon. On race day I was feeling full of energy, like never before. My stomach was perfect and during the race everything was great. I honestly realized how much nutrition can make a difference. It’s like training; having a clear plan and even more, having Barbara supporting me, gave me strength, confidence and speed!!"

Leeza

testimonial

"When I first reached out to Barbara, I had recently decided to become a vegan but I was feeling very weak and I knew I was deficient in a few areas of my nutrition. I was excited about taking my health to new levels, but my major concern was doing it properly and in the healthiest way possible. I am also a fitness competitor so getting proper levels of all macro and micronutrients is very important, especially to keep my energy levels optimal for the intense training sessions during competition prep. Barbara was able to refine my current diet and provide new ideas of incorporating foods that I actually like. After the first few days of working with Barbara, I had tons of energy throughout the day which resulted in increased performance in the gym. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone who is an athlete and has concerns about the current state of his/her nutrition. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is effective at developing a nutrition plan specific to your needs to help improve your performance and/or physique."
