Shantih Coro

Shantih Coro is a nutritionist expert in sports nutrition, clinical nutrition, and anti-aging.

Shantih did not become a nutritionist by accident. He starts sports at a young age with Karate at 6 years old and reads his first nutrition book as a child, at the age of only 7 years old, a thick book of over 600 pages. He was a frail child with severe digestive problems since he was born suffering of debilitating colitis. As a teenager he continues to have digestive problems, due to which his appendix is removed and by 14 years old developed dyslexia and ADHD. He started to dedicate all his energies into sports and eventually martial arts that led him to live a healthy lifestyle that taught him perseverance and discipline.

At the age of 27 years old he was diagnosed with severe Crohn's disease and at his lowest point he weighed 80 lbs. and doing the stairs was like competing in the Olympics. However, he refuses to be sick for life and starts reading everything he can in the scientific literature of the time until he arrives at the GAPS Diet conceived by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. He started also to engage in breathwork, meditation and observed that when he was outdoor, he was feeling much better, so he started to spend lots of time in nature and sunbath for many hours, at the same time he does a profound work on himself and start to read everything to change his attitude. Shantih does not simply go into remission, vice versa his intestine goes back to being THAT OF A HEALTHY PERSON, as confirmed by the incredulous eyes of his gastroenterologist.

During this time, he started to study biology, evolutionary biology, photobiology, human nutrition, and physiology and discovered the love for health and science. In 2005 he moved to Florida to study and graduated in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of North Florida followed by a Master in Exercise Science and Sports Nutrition at the University of Tampa.
