Hi, I’m Shanti

Board-Certified Health Coach (NBC-HWC) & Functional Medicine Practitioner
Happy Belly Health is a nutrition and health practice that helps people improve digestion, reduce bloating, and achieve sustainable weight balance through personalized diet and lifestyle strategies. The focus is on identifying root causes rather than managing symptoms alone.
Happy Belly Health works with clients—primarily busy women—to resolve digestive issues and weight challenges by addressing factors like food choices, metabolism, gut function, and daily habits.
Happy Belly Health works with busy women who have prioritized their careers and are used to showing up and succeeding—but now want to feel just as good in their bodies. Many are dealing with bloating, sluggish digestion, low energy, and weight gain.
Happy Belly Health helps address issues such as chronic bloating, IBS-like symptoms, low energy, and weight that feels stuck despite effort.
Clients begin with a free 20-minute discovery call to discuss goals, past efforts, and current challenges. A customized plan is then created and refined over time.
Founded by Shanti Pappas, a digestion and weight specialist with over 16 years of experience.
Operating since 2010 with continuous refinement and ongoing education.
Over 16 years of experience, practical results, and an integrity-based approach—using labs and
supplements only when necessary.
Not a fit for those seeking quick fixes or unwilling to make changes. Best for coachable clients ready to
take action.
Dietitians, functional medicine practitioners, apps, and wellness coaching—but Happy Belly Health combines science with coaching for implementation.
Start with a free 20-minute discovery call.
Pricing is discussed on the call with options for different budgets.
Most programs have a 3-month minimum.
Results vary. Many feel improvements quickly, even right away. Lasting results depend on consistency and starting point.
Yes, we do. The Initial Assessment is the first step to any of the Happy Belly® customized health coaching programs. During this virtual consultation, we take the time to review your personal history including your symptoms, recent lab work results and food journal, plus your current list of medications and supplements. The goal of this initial assessment meeting is to review your unique lifestyle so we can begin to investigate and identify what is needed to get your unique body to enjoy optimal health.
Happy Belly Health® is virtual. That means all meetings are conveniently located in the comfort of your home – or wherever you are at the time of appointment.
The Free Discovery Call is only necessary to apply for the personalized 1-2-1 program. You can enroll in the Curb Your Cravings® and HBH 10-Cleanse without it.
No. We do not take insurance. But some clients have been able to use their HSA or FSA dollars towards Happy Belly Health® services, depending on plan requirements.
Yes, the Happy Belly Health® team helps people gain weight, too. Happy Belly Health® 1-2-1 Coaching, customized health coaching programs allow us to get specific to your needs – and it’s not always just weight loss we cover. If you’d like more information on our customized health coaching options, schedule a free, 15-minute Chat to learn more.
Yes, we do! Food sensitivities create inflammation which can make achieving your health and wellness goals very challenging. The body’s response to the intolerance also impacts your immune system. The Happy Belly Health® team can help you identify, heal, and reintroduce the foods that produce an inflammatory reaction. We will help you choose a testing method that makes sense for you. Whether it be a food elimination diet, an antibody test, or a cellular reactive test, we will help you identify what is causing your symptoms and provide the guidance for healing around it.
Yes! The Happy Belly Health® team frequently works with pregnant clients to help them with health and wellness throughout their pregnancy. We work alongside your doctor to help determine what to eat, how often to eat, and how to enjoy an easier pregnancy avoiding high blood sugar and high blood pressure, heartburn, constipation, and fatigue.
Yes. We like to use data, like recent blood work to share what deficiencies we see. Once we understand your unique needs, we’ll educate you on specific, high-quality supplements that can help you feel balanced, vibrant… Simply put.. Fantastic!
Yes. Our favorite clients are busy professionals who are “too busy” to take care of themselves. We meet you where you’re at and help you to slowly become a more balanced person. Read Grace’s story.
That’s a great question. We help you discover where you are in the “stages of change” and what might be blocking you from making progress. If you find that you don’t actually want to change, even if you think you “should” then you might not be ready for coaching.
We’ll decide together when and how to start incorporating more movement into your daily life. Exercise is a great tool to improve digestion, mood and physical well-being. We don’t advocate using exercise alone as a permanent weight loss tool. Our clients enjoy a balanced life without becoming dependent on exercise to maintain a healthy weight.
Yes! Health is a journey and keeping focused on improvement is part of a healthy lifestyle. We tailor our work to meet you where you’re at and then take you to optimal health. We’ll guide you on what to maximize, what to minimize, and what to prioritize in order to experience optimal health. In addition, our Curb Your Cravings® Online Program and our Happy Belly Health® 10-day Cleanse are excellent options. They’re designed for busy people who don’t want to diet anymore, but want the support to achieve sustainable, good health.
