nutrition + detox + cleanse
Barbara Birke, MS
~Masters in Holistic Nutrition | Sports Science
Do you want to find your way to your optimal body? Are you missing the bounce in your step? Are you stressed out and out of balance? Do you simply want to live better with more vitality and energy?
I hold a Masters in Holistic Nutrition and a Masters in Sports Science (with a focus on health). I am passionate about improving my own and others’ lives through building awareness and taking control of nutrition and lifestyle choices. Many factors contributing to imbalance, decreased well-being and even disease can be influenced by nutrition and lifestyle. What do you take in? How do you treat your body? Yourself?
My mother grew up on an organic dairy farm in Austria and made me understand early on that food is and should be natural, whole and nutrient-dense. She also gave me a very strong sense of responsibility for one’s own health and well-being. After finishing my masters in sports science I managed a large fitness-club and orthopedic rehabilitation center in Germany. Movement and nutrition was an integral part of weight loss, wellness and sports specific training – but also of getting people back to health after surgery and injuries. I re-located to Portland working for adidas and deepened my knowledge with a masters in holistic nutrition.
As an independent health, lifestyle and nutrition consultant I am excited about the opportunity to now offer my services at Root Whole Body! I have been part of the Root community for the past few years and feel very at home here.
Please come see me – I am here to support you – in figuring out your individual optimal nutrition and lifestyle goals and how to get there. Really, fueling your body properly is simpler than you might think. But we never stick to it. ‘Crowding out’ not-so-good food options and replacing them with healthier, more vital ones, making yourself aware of your individual trigger foods and situations, having actual strategies ready and having talked through them with someone who holds you responsible makes a huge difference.
I look forward to supporting you in becoming your optimum you!

Basic Nutrition + Lifestyle series|| $235
In this basic program, we take a close look at your current nutrition, exercise and lifestyle choices and how they serve you. We look at overall intake, when and how you eat, habits and recurrent behaviors and potential irritants or sensitivities, if applicable. We look at your goals and develop a plan and the right strategies for you to achieve these goals. Package includes 3 sessions.
Scientific Nutrition + Lifestyle series || $695
Every metabolism is different. When it comes to diet and exercise – one size does not fit all. Some people thrive on (a certain amount of the right) carbs while others do much better with less carbs; some people need more, some less (of the right) fat; most need more (clean and lean) protein. With the Pathway Fit genetic diagnostic test we learn which diet type works best for you. We can also see what exercise will have the best results for your genetic type. We find which eating behaviors you are predisposed to and develop the right strategies to deal with them. We can figure out the right lifestyle and nutrition choices for you and develop a plan – according your individual genetic profile!!
Package includes 3 sessions and Pathway Fit genetic diagnostic test. The first session is a intake and “clean up” session, you will also take the test, the second session is a deep consult based on your individual results and in the follow up we will check your progress and adjust if necessary. Information is power! You will complete the series feeling amazing and noticing big changes.
C(L)ean Up Detox Cleanse
What is done regularly each season by populations around the world is still fairly new to Americans. Let us help you start seasonally with a Clean Up (and Lean Up) Detox cleanse for your choice of time – of course, the longer the more benefit. This 1, 2 or 3-week cleanse program is aimed at breaking harmful patterns and addictions around food, gently ridding the body of built-up toxins and giving your digestive system a much-needed break. And bonus? You’ll increase your energy, lose weight and help your body start to crave nutritious foods. Schedule a complimentary consultation to determine the best program for you.
