From Burnout to Balance: How Shanu Helped Me Heal and Thrive I started eating more, moving less—and still lost fat, gained energy, and finally made peace with my body. By the time I came to Shanu, I had already lost 40 kilos—but I was burnt out, anxious, and terrified of slipping back. My gut health was in ruins, my food habits were rigid, and I thought I needed to just “eat less and move more.” Instead, Shanu taught me the opposite: I needed to do less, eat more, and trust my body. With his patient, science-backed, and deeply compassionate approach, I started healing—physically and mentally. My digestion improved, my strength returned, and I found freedom in food again. I live between two cities, run marathons, compete in tennis, swim, and have a demanding academic career—and somehow, Shanu has made this journey work around all of that. Every part of his coaching is tailored, flexible, and rooted in real life—not some ideal version of it. What surprised me most was the bond we built. Shanu is more than a coach—he’s a friend, someone I can talk to, lean on, and trust deeply. He’s helped me move from survival mode to a place of strength and calm. If you’re looking for sustainable health and someone who gets it—Shanu’s your person.

One of my friend recommended Shanu as a coach. I was not disappointed. He is thorough and helped me with adjusting to my diet plan. It was the first time I tried dieting, initially it was hard but Shanu helped me through, his advices helped me not only to follow the diet plan but also to stick with it without me getting overwhelmed. Now it is ingrained in my brain to eat mindfully as he always says when I complaint to him about my sweet cravings 😊 The exercise plan he gave was perfect for me to start with and he gave a lot of important tips and videos on how to improve and correct my postures. The how to videos are helpful, it is short and to point. Shanu was well accommodated to my US timings, he always responds quick to my queries and concerns. Thank you so much Shanu, it was a very pleasant experience to work with you.

I wanted guidance without feeling pressured—and that’s exactly what Shanu provided. Over the past few months, I’ve not only lost weight and transformed my body but also developed a real love for fitness, all thanks to his supportive and personalized approach. What makes Coach Shanu different is how he makes the whole process feel natural and sustainable. He helped me build better habits without making things overwhelming or extreme. His guidance kept me consistent, confident, and seeing real progress—without ever feeling burnt out. The results of his coaching really showed when I participated in Transformation Challenge 22 and placed in the top 50. If you’re looking for a coach who truly understands balance and long-term success, I highly recommend him!

Shanu has been an incredible trainer, helping me with both my diet and exercise plan for my marathon training. I was struggling to run beyond 15 km, but thanks to his structured approach, I’ve not only improved my strength and consistency but also successfully completed a couple of half marathons. Now, I feel confident and ready for my full marathon in a few months. What truly sets Shanu apart is his technical expertise and attention to detail. He explains everything with such energy and clarity, making complex concepts easy to understand. His motivation and guidance have been instrumental in my progress. Thank you, Shanu, for your support and for pushing me beyond my limits!
