Happy Belly Health by Shanti Pappas

Working with Shanti has been one of the most empowering and supportive decisions I’ve made for my health. I trust her completely—not just with my goals, but with my overall well-being. Her deep, science-based understanding of physiology, especially when it comes to female and athletic bodies, is truly unmatched. She meets you exactly where you are, tuning in to your personal needs while offering practical, meaningful guidance that leads to real change. What sets Shanti apart is her whole-body, natural approach. She’s not someone who pushes a Western medicine fix for everything—she’s incredibly attuned to the body’s natural rhythms and honors the simplicity and wisdom of how we’re built. She challenges me in the best ways, always pushing me toward actual growth while being emotionally supportive and truly caring along the way. And honestly—her approach works. I’ve been dealing with insulin resistance and hormonal shifts, and in just two months I’ve experienced a major, positive transformation in how I feel and how my body functions. I first worked with Shanti before my wedding and reached my goals, and came back to her when I decided to come off birth control. The results have been even more powerful the second time around. If you’re ready to take real action and make sustainable, lifelong changes for your health, I can’t recommend Shanti enough. She’s the real deal

I have been working with Shanti since October of 2017 and what a difference it has made! Before working with her, I felt stuck with my overall health and fitness. I felt like no matter how much I exercised or how healthy I ate, nothing was improving. Shanti and I set out some goals in the beginning and I must admit that I had my doubts early on. Not only have I met those goals in less than 6 months, I have exceeded my own expectations and have learned things about health and nutrition that help me make better decisions with my food and lifestyle every single day. Then I started seeing results. My allergies started to improve drastically and I crave vegetables now which I would've never imagined. Shanti helped guide me along my journey in a way where I never felt pressured or deprived one bit along the way. Shanti together with her Client Care Specialist Cynthia (which is wonderful and super easy to work with) catered to my schedule and to the lifestyle I wanted to live. Whatever part of your health you are looking to improve, I highly recommend you work with Shanti and her team to get there!

I have worked with nutritionists in the past and have always been pleased with the work we have done together. What intrigued me about working with Shanti was the interest she takes in how your belly and digestive system reacts to the foods that you are currently consuming. Is your digestive system happy? Since I am an emotional person it was helpful to approach it from my belly's perspective rather than with my head/heart/emotions. Of course, they all came into play, it was just better to give my belly a chance at the start! I have been working with Shanti for about 4 months and have made some big changes. Do you want to hear something super cool? Since I was a kid, I have had trouble sleeping. For the past 4 years, I have taken some sort of sleep-aid every night. Since June, I have not had to take anything and have been sleeping 8 hours a night, uninterrupted. That is from changing my diet. Unbelievable how powerful it is.

I wanted to lose some weight, and Shanti has been great. She taught me to how to change my diet in a way that is sustainable. I easily lost almost 10 pounds in about 2 months. Beyond weight, she takes a holistic view of your health. We have focused on identifying food allergies, and she introduced me to a high intensity exercise program that takes less than 20 minutes a day. I'd highly recommend her if you want to improve your health, especially weight loss.

I worked with Shanti for about a year and a half between mid 2021 to the beginning of 2023. It is a night and day shift. I came to Shanti wanting to lose about 10 pounds and yet I was also facing much bigger issues - water retention, stomach pain, caffeine addiction, sleeping 3-4 hours a night, low self image/esteem. Shanti's partnership helped me uncover hormonal and gut issues that I wasn't even aware of, and that were making weight loss harder. She also had me work on affirmations, hunger/satiety, and mirror work that helped me heal my relationship with food and myself. I am back to the weight I was before COVID, and I have a few more pounds to lose. I am so grateful to Shanti and her incredible energy and care for getting me to where I am today. I truly felt out of control and desperate for help - and today I feel safe in my body, I trust my body and am fitter than I've ever been. THANK you, Shanti.
