Thorne Affiliate


About

I am a strength and conditioning specialist, personal trainer, and kinesiology professor based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I own and operate LIFT by Barber Training Systems in Montclair Village, near the Oakland Hills. With 18 years of experience, I have trained individuals of all ages and skill levels and have taught courses in nutrition, exercise physiology, biomechanics, and applied physiology. While nutrition and supplementation are just one aspect of my work, I consider them essential for achieving optimal health, fitness, and longevity. My network of physicians, researchers, trainers, and coaches allows me to provide informed and effective guidance on supplementation.

Why I choose Thorne

I choose supplements that emphasize purity and simplicity, and after doing my own research through sources like NIH, PubMed, and peer-reviewed studies—resources I also use in my college teaching—I've found consistent results. Thorne stands out for its transparency and quality, which aligns with my approach as a coach and what I value when recommending products to my clients.
