HOLISTIC PROGRAM DESIGN
Lifestyle Assessment
A BARWIS lifestyle is a science-based approach to optimizing health, wellness, performance, and productivity. Under the direction and guidance of Mike Barwis, your assigned BARWIS team will gather information about your sleeping patterns, hydration, eating habits, stress levels, physical activity, neuromuscular patterns, mindset, and more in order to provide you meaningful insights about your health and a personalized action plan to improve overall well being and performance.
Your BARWIS Operations Director will coordinate the times and dates for each evaluation as well as plan for follow-up meetings and training sessions. The meetings with your operations director will be two times a month with email and text support on a daily basis. In addition to coordinating time with each team member, you will also have the opportunity to meet with your entire BARWIS team once a month. This meeting will be a time to review your progress and tailor the next steps to achieve your goals.
Physical Therapy
BARWIS Physical Therapy is the nation’s most advanced form of therapy focused on orthopedic issues, common sports and training injuries, and post-surgical issues. We create a comprehensive transitional program from injury to game-play while incorporating cutting-edge technology and practices.
We offer onsite & offsite customized one-on-one programming with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Our focus with each member of the family will be on maximizing mobility, coordination, strength, balance, and daily function. Our globally renowned rehabilitation used by professional and Olympic athletes is available to anyone.
Executive health and wellness families can work with a physical therapist by having an initial evaluation and scheduling treatment up to two sessions per week per family.
Biometric Screening
BARWIS Biometric Screening collects and centralizes the information we need to understand your current health status and make the best decisions for you when it comes to nutrition, training, sleep, and more. Each day we will test and track these areas with the following wearable devices:
Omega Wave
Omegawave takes a unique approach to measuring readiness for training. Through the combination of fields including neurophysiology, cardiovascular physiology, and exercise physiology, Omegawave gives us an in-depth look at how different systems are functioning with one another which allows us to judge optimal times for you to train or to recover.
Sleep Timer
Sleep and fatigue are among the most important factors affecting productivity and performance. Fatigue Science is a wearable wristband that a person wears while they sleep, tracking movement, sleep patterns, gaps in sleep, etc. Based on a multitude of variables, Fatigue Science will give us fatigue scores, which allows the trainers to know if you are good to go and or if your program may need to be modified that day.
Hydration
During exercise, one of the main ways a person’s body regulates its temperature is through the process of sweating. When an athlete sweats, however, they lose both water and electrolytes previously stored in their body. Prior to a workout, an athlete should be in a state of euhydration - which essentially means not dehydrated, but also not overly hydrated - your body’s natural level of hydration is in balance. If hydration testing is done prior to a workout, it can be determined whether a person is at an optimal level or if they are insufficiently hydrated and therefore will not be able to participate to their fullest.
Refractometry is the method we suggest using for testing hydration as it is very accurate and efficient as urine testing can be. This method involves a light being passed through the sample, measuring how much the beam has refracted.
Nutrition & Dietetics
BARWIS Nutrition offers comprehensive nutrition protocols personalized for each person’s age, goals, activity level, etc.. These protocols include focusing on keeping a healthy diet, improving eating habits, using proper supplementation, learning new cooking techniques and meal prep methods.
Your BARWIS Nutrition program will include the following;
-

-
Food diary recording to track effectiveness
-
Meal plan menus for individualized weight and health goals
-
Recommendations for daily supplementation to support the healthy diet and body transformation process
