What Our Clients Have To Say

“I can always count on Cynthia to bring a new and practical nutritional tip to Equinox’s Precision Running class every week. She also convinced a lifetime Gatorade drinker to reconsider the daily ingestion of those chemicals and sugar."

“Being a chiropractor with over 20 years of clinical expertise, as well as having an extensive background in nutrition, I was extremely impressed with Dr. Cynthia Barrett’s innovative knowledge of human performance and how nutrition can be improved with her cutting-edge advice.

Kathy Ioannou

“Cynthia you’ve always been a positive influence mentally, physically and emotionally. You give great advice on how to stay healthy and what foods to add or subtract from our diet. In addition you provide specific workout routines that cater to each individual’s needs. It’s always a pleasure working with you."

Maria K.

“A former college athlete, I thought I needed to lose only 5-10 pounds. Dr. Barrett gave me a focused wellness plan based on my physical goals, my lifestyle and my genetic tendencies. It was simple but tough: her plan targeted my problem areas in ways a cookie-cutter weight-loss program would overlook. I lost 38 pounds. My waist got thinner by 5 inches. My health has never been better. She gets results."

John P.

“Cynthia has an amazing ability to understand the root of a problem and provide solutions that will not just mask the symptoms but actually resolve the underlying issue. Her advice helped my baby boy tremendously!"
