Happy Belly Health San Diego

Fantastic experience: I’ve worked with Shanti at Happy Belly Health for many years, and she has become such an important part of how I care for my health\. I originally reached out to her after going through cancer treatment at a relatively young age…Once treatment was behind me and I had a clean bill of health, I felt a real desire to take charge of my health and think differently about how I wanted to live and age- I had also struggled with disordered eating for most of my life… Before working with Shanti, I was constantly counting calories, trying to lose weight, and generally approaching food from a place of restriction. Over the years, she has helped me completely change that relationship. She helped me understand how much I actually need to eat, how to nourish myself properly, the importance of protein and meal timing, and where supplements could thoughtfully support me Today, I can genuinely say I am the healthiest I have ever been- I feel good in my body, I feel informed about my health, and I have a much more grounded relationship with food. One of the things I value most about Shanti is the depth of knowledge she brings. I’m someone who likes to research everything, and between the internet and AI there is now an overwhelming amount of health information available…can go down every rabbit hole imaginable and still find myself coming back to her. There is simply no amount of research I can do on my own that replaces her expertise, her ability to understand the whole picture, and the fact that she actually knows me and my history. She has also evolved with me-We’ve navigated different chapters of my health together, celebrated wins, adjusted when something changed, and most recently she has been an incredible source of support as I’ve dealt with another health diagnosis. Once we had worked through a lot of the bigger pieces together, I transitioned into her maintenance program, which I absolutely love! We talk once a month, check in on my overall health, and usually have one small thing we’re paying attention to or working on. That ongoing relationship has been incredibly valuable—it keeps me connected to everything I’ve learned without making health feel like a full-time job. Working with Shanti makes me feel nurtured, coached, informed, and genuinely cared for- I’m incredibly grateful to have had her in my corner all these years.

Fantastic experience: I did the curb your craving program - lost 25 pounds and got my blood pressure under control. I ate really well and never felt like I was restricting anything. Great program for anyone.
