Samantha Hua has been involved in fitness and healthy eating since 1992. With a bachelor degree in biology, she spent the first part of her career focusing on research and improving communities by starting community gardens, nutritional education, and supporting those in Africa, Latin America, and the US. She then became AADP certificated as a Health Coach at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition through the State University of New York. She studied under Paul Pitchford, Neal Barnard, David Wolfe, Marion Nestle, David Katz, Mark Hyman, Barry Sears, Deepak Chopra, and many others.
She focuses on addressing the root cause of the problem for weight loss, optimal nutrition, and balance so that we are full of energy, confident, and feel great in our body. She does this using delicious food and a coaching process that is completely enjoyable. She was featured on San Diego CW6 Morning News. Her belief is that we will create lasting healthy lifestyle through education, support, and enjoyable action steps.
