I can’t even begin to express how impressed I am with Dr. Barker. Words just can’t express it! I have seen many doctors and none of them even come close to my experiences with Dr. Barker! Dr. Barker has the bedside manner and patience of an angel. She is unbelievably kind and generous with her time. Dr. Barker is an amazing listener. I value her immensely because she educates, motivates, is spot on with any diagnosis, has great advice, genuinely cares about her patients, follows up to make sure things are going well and will work with you while you reach your personal health goals! The whole time she is there when you need her and she legitimately cares. She makes you feel like a family member! Dr. Barker assisted in my 180 pound weight loss as well as got me on track when I gained back 17 pounds after a particularly stressful time in my life. Her mind body approach and common sense as well as scientific approach is unbelievably helpful. With Dr. Barker you will see yourself get your health to a point where you feel AMAZING both physically and emotionally! I feel so grateful to have met Dr. Barker and to have had the opportunity to get my health back on track under her tutelage!"

Body By Barker was the catalyst that basically saved my life. I was an addict for 12 years, and although I got clean, and have been for 7 years for 6 of those years I couldn't get out of bed, I had zero motivation to live life, my mental health was in the gutter, and I felt and looked terrible. Opiates destroyed my endocrine system along with my mind and body. Body By Barker found my testosterone levels were that of a 90-year-old man, at age 34, I was deficient in vitamin D, and had too much estrogen in my body for a man. After starting my TRT at Body by Barker, my life was transformed in a matter of weeks. My energy levels skyrocketed which allowed me to focus on my physical appearance, my family, my job & my mental health which did a complete 360° as a result & I've never been more confident, happy, and excited about life and the future. I actually started to lose a lot of weight, gained muscle and I'm finally becoming the man I want to be but, one of the best effects from TRT was that I had ZERO drug cravings, they were gone, nonexistent! I felt and still feel like a completely different person, and I owe it all to Body By Barker. If you, a loved one, or a friend is struggling with an addiction or getting back to normal life post addiction please call Body By Barker. I believe we can have a huge impact on the opioid crisis if we include Hormone replacement therapy in the rehabilitation process.

"Weight, low self-esteem, and self-love have always been an issue for me. I struggled for a long time to understand why it was so hard for me to lose weight. I had begged my PCP to check my thyroid, knowing it ran extensively through my dad's side of the family, but it was always just the normal stuff (TSH,T3,T4), because I was in range, I was "fine." In 2021, I trained for my first half marathon. I was eating well, not really watching what I was eating, but the weight was dropping, and I felt great. In September, I ran my first race. Toward the end of the year, the scale started to creep back up, so I thought if I kept training, it would go back to where I felt good. Regardless of my attempts to get back to that range and running another two half marathons, I felt stuck and uncomfortable with my body. I had been watching two of my Facebook friends post about their journeys with Brittney, and in August of 2022, I was finally uncomfortable enough with my body that I started my own. I remember having two weeks off work around that time, and I hit a very low valley of emotions— despite knowing it, she saw me at my worst. At my consultation, she spent an entire hour with me talking about my concerns with my health, letting me cry when I needed to, and even sharing pieces of her story with me— something no other provider had ever done. When I left the office that day, I validated, I felt seen, and for the first time, I felt heard by a medical provider. Not that you ever want anything to be wrong with you, but the day that I received my blood work back I felt like my whole life made sense. I had Hashimoto's disease— and was finally going to get the help my body needed. I am thankful that I found Body By Barker when I did and that I am able to use them as a resource as I take this path to the body I want. They have listened and care about the responses my body has given me, and I am so grateful that I get to write them in my story." -Lawren

“In 2021, at 30 years old, I was diagnosed with Stage 3B rectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is silent but after the birth of my daughter in 2018 I saw several medical providers regarding many changes with my body that were brushed off as being a new mom, running to much, and Covid. My body was suffering. Radiation, chemotherapy, and multiple surgeries did not make it easier. I was struggling post cancer, especially with a full hysterectomy. I thought it was hard getting medical treatment prior to my diagnosis but getting care after cancer was even more difficult until I found Body By Barker. I quickly realized after my first appointment that someone actually cared about how I was feeling and the quality of my life. It finally wasn't “you're just lucky you are alive” but “how can we help you live?” I have medical trauma. I never feel safe and I'm skeptical. Dr. Barker answered all my questions multiple times, personalized my treatment at a pace I was comfortable with, and let me make my own decisions about my health. I was never rushed out of her office. For the first time ever, I wasn't at the checkout counter of the office after 10 minutes with unanswered questions and my head spinning. I'm currently taking vitamin D and receiving hormone pellet therapy from Body by Barker. I finally have energy!! My depression has improved. Early in my treatment I started to experience medically induced menopause and I am forever grateful for no more night sweats and hot flashes! After radiation to my pelvis and multiple surgeries I tried advocating for my sexual health with two different doctors but my concerns were never addressed and I just accepted it as my new and awful “normal.” What I was experiencing was not normal or acceptable. With the correct amount of hormones in my body the positive changes to my sexual health are more than I ever imagined. I actually feel alive. I have my life back. I'm back to being a mom and wife, riding my bike long distances, and making it through an 8 hour work day. I want to experience life to the fullest and with Dr. Barker’s help I am more confident that this is a possibility for me since the pellet hormone therapy also addresses my increased chances of osteoporosis and colon cancer. She has given me peace of mind at a time I felt hopeless.” -𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗵

"The before picture is May 2022. I started my journey with Dr. Barker on June 10, 2022, which was my very first appointment. I haven’t looked back since. As of today, July 17, 2025, I’ve lost 102.6 lbs. The after picture was taken today. I’ve been heavy my whole life. I lost 60 lbs between junior and senior year of high school, and was at my lowest ever at that time. But over the years, I slowly gained weight. A lot of it. I’d lose some, gain it back—and then some—every time. I tried everything short of bariatric surgery until I decided to see Dr. Barker about weight loss. It’s been a 3-year journey that’s still ongoing, because I still have more weight I want to lose... but now, I can see the finish line.” - Lisa

“Before discovering this medicine, I was morbidly obese, prediabetic, and on the cusp of full-blown diabetes... After a year of treatment and support from Body by Barker, I’m now 180lbs, my bloodwork is clean, and my testosterone levels are up!”

“I didn’t think it was possible. But Body by Barker changed my life.” 💫 After years of trying everything — diets, pills, programs, and pushing through the exhaustion of raising four kids and working two jobs — she finally made the decision to put herself first. “Food was my love language. I worked in the restaurant industry and thought obesity was just my reality.” 🍽 But one emotional (and yes, financial) commitment to the Body by Barker weight loss program changed everything. In just one year: ✅ 88 pounds lost ✅ From size 16 to size 4 ✅ Off long-term medications ✅ Perfect lab work ✅ Confidence to chase a dream career ✅ Energy to play with her grandson ✅ And a reflection in the mirror that finally feels beautiful ✨ “I am the best version of myself — and I am happy.”

"I would highly recommend the Emsella chair. After four kids, my bladder felt like it couldn’t hold anything. I had even looked into surgical options but didn’t want mesh involved. When I got the email about Emsella, I figured—why not try it? I had nothing to lose. After just 6 easy treatments, my bladder control has significantly improved and I couldn’t be more pleased!" -Jamie

"Body by Barker has been a blessing in so many ways. I came to Dr. Barker after years of feeling constantly tired—with no answers from my primary doctor and hundreds of dollars wasted on lab tests. Dr. Barker ran comprehensive labs and discovered I had extremely low testosterone. She started me on a TRT plan that drastically improved my energy and mood. Then came the next step—weight loss. With a customized plan from Dr. Barker, I’m now down 50 pounds! 🙌 When I started, I was borderline diabetic and had high blood pressure. One year later, everything is under control—and I’m excited to see where my health goes next with the amazing BBB team behind me."

"I have been working with Allison Holbritter, CRNP, and have completed all my appointments via telehealth, which has been both easy and convenient. I initially met with Allison and then had labs drawn. She reviewed my labs, and I started on BHRT cream. Alison and I connected via telehealth appointments approximately every other month. I noticed some improvements almost immediately. She made a few adjustments to my hormone dosages. At my most recent follow- up, I was thrilled to tell Alison how wonderful I now feel. My headaches are less severe and only occasional, my hot flashes are essentially gone, and my sleep is markedly improved (both duration and quality). Allison and all the staff I have interacted with at Body by Barker have been very kind and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. If you have ever wondered about your hormone levels or BHRT, I’d encourage you to reach out to Body by Barker today!" ✨

"60 lbs. of weight gone as of today🎉 I cannot begin to describe the paralyzing feeling of failing before I even began and then the anxiousness of failing once I started but with the right tools and God anything is possible. I have struggled with food noise, triggers and have an unhealthy relationship with food, my hope is to get some counseling soon for eating disorders, so if anyone knows a therapist please DM me so I can keep this success going and not backslide into bad habits. Thank you God for a strength & grace during this journey. Thank you to my husband Troy for the love & encouragement, Melissa for inspiration & courage for sharing her journey with me, Body by Barker for the tools and check ins & encouragement from family & friends. With determination I was to able to start walking again with some dear love ones thanks Tor & Stef. I also was able to dive back into teaching yoga thank you soul sisters & Mindy and get back on my mat for some self-care."

"After years of "working through" various symptoms with both a local doctor that wasn't very happy that I took an interest in my health, and another that seemingly had their main interest in upping doses and adding medications to increase their revenue, I was lucky to find Dr. Barker and the fam at the Body by Barker practice. During my first appointment with Dr. Barker, she took a sincere interest in not only helping me feel better, but also in identifying and treating the root cause of the issue (one of my many) and not just my symptoms. It was a very nice change to have a doctor take the time, not rush due to being "overbooked" or preoccupied and listen and not just throw a prescription your way and send you out the door. Dr. Barker took the time to answer all my questions (no matter how ridiculous they were), made sure I was comfortable with the plan, and explained everything to me in a way that was easy to understand. Even though I went to Dr. Barker originally for TRT; her open mind, vast experience and knowledge, honesty and genuine desire to truly help people, and the crew's all around awesomeness I have seen great improvement in my overall health and even taken advantage of some of the other offerings that are offered (I really do like the IV vitamin infusions). In conjunction with my TRT treatment, Dr. Barker has been able to help me alleviate a significant amount of joint pain from arthritis. All in all, I owe a great deal to Dr. Barker and the fam there as they have gone above and beyond to ensure that I have been able to get my life back. While the old school doctor's bedside manner has gone to the wayside, Dr. Barker and fam are definitely one of a kind and are bringing it back." -Brian💬

"This place saved my mental and physical self. If you're struggling with anything weight / hormone / body / aesthetics, you need to go see her (Dr. Barker) and Ivan immediately!🙏"
