I truly believed I was doing everything right.
​
I'm Claire — a Nutritional Therapist and Health Coach, offering 1:1 consultations at my clinic in Hampshire and internationally online. And yes, I truly believed I was doing everything right.
​
I'm a nutritional therapist. I understand food. I ate well — and yet, in September 2025, my health tests told a very different story: stomach and colon inflammation, low cellular energy in my brain, and early signs of insulin resistance and blood sugar imbalance.
​​
It stopped me in my tracks.
​​
So I made a decision — not out of fear, but from a deep knowing that something needed to change. I committed fully to a ketogenic way of eating, with intention and without compromise.
​​
What followed was more than I expected.
​
-
My weight began to shift, with EASE.
-
I looked and felt less bloated, I was no longer inflammed.
-
My body felt calmer, lighter, more balanced.
-
My energy increased, and my brain switched back on.
-
I had ZERO food noise and no cravings.
Even nutrients I had struggled to optimise — magnesium and zinc — returned to range within three months!
​
Then, in December, I experienced a period of grief. I recognised the familiar pull towards sugar and comfort — but this time, something had changed.
​​
The cravings simply… weren't there.
​​
Not forced. Not resisted. Just gone.
For the first time, I wasn't battling myself.
I felt steady, in control, and free.
​
Since then, I've changed not only my weight, but my body composition — reducing fat while maintaining muscle. More importantly, I've shifted patterns that had been with me for years: using food for comfort, reward, and relief.
I'm a mum. I'm 53. I'm navigating perimenopause. I understand what it feels like when your body stops responding — the weight gain, the exhaustion, the frustration, the sense that things are no longer in your control.
​
And I also know what it feels like when your body begins working with you again.
​
That's why I do this work — not just from knowledge, but from lived experience.
​
Let's work together to help you feel like yourself again — energised, in control, and confident in your body.
Nutritional Therapy and Coaching with Claire Foss
As we move through our 40s and 50s, our hormones shift — and so does the way our body handles blood sugar.
​
That's when you might start to notice:
-
✦ More cravings (especially for carbs and sugar)
-
✦ Energy crashes and brain fog
-
✦ Weight gain around your middle
-
✦ Feeling hungry… even when you've just eaten
-
​
This isn't a lack of discipline.
It's your body trying to manage unstable blood sugar — and driving "food noise" to get quick energy.
​
When your blood sugar is balanced, the cravings quiet down, your energy increases, your brain switches back on, you sleep better — and fat loss becomes easier.
Boost Energy & Beat the Fog
Always tired, wired, or hitting that wall by 3pm? That's not ageing — that's unstable blood sugar.
When your body switches to burning fat for fuel, energy becomes steady and reliable — no more crashes, no more relying on caffeine and sugar just to get through the day.
The fog lifts. Your brain switches back on. You feel like you again.
​
Silence the Food Noise
Constantly thinking about food? Cravings that hit out of nowhere, even when you've just eaten? That's not weakness — it's your blood sugar talking.
Low-carb and keto nutrition stabilises blood sugar, switches off the constant hunger signals, and quietens the mental chatter around food.
When food noise fades, you feel calm, in control, and free to get on with your life.
​
Lose Stubborn Midlife Weight
Eating well, trying hard, and still not shifting it? You're not failing — your hormones have changed the rules.
Keto targets the stubborn fat that builds around the middle during perimenopause, reducing bloating, inflammation, and that feeling of being stuck.
As your body shifts, you feel lighter, less puffy, and more like yourself.

Since 2017, my passion has been to support, educate and empower women to take back control of their health.
​
Because here's the truth nobody tells you: the weight gain, brain fog, exhaustion and cravings you're experiencing in your 40s and 50s aren't a lack of willpower.
They're hormonal.
And they're fixable.
​
Many women start noticing peri-menopause symptoms in their early 40s — and without the right support, those symptoms can continue for years, even decades.
Hot flushes, anxiety, mood swings, aching joints, bloating, stubborn belly fat and a brain that just won't switch on. Sound familiar?
​
What most women don't realise is that shifting hormones directly affect the way your body handles blood sugar — and that's what drives the cravings, the weight gain around your middle, and the energy crashes that leave you running on empty by midday.
This isn't about eating less and moving more. That approach stopped working the moment your hormones changed — and it was never the right tool for the job anyway.
Low-carb and ketogenic nutrition works with your midlife hormones, not against them.
When you balance your blood sugar through the right foods and simple lifestyle changes, something remarkable happens — the cravings quieten down, the weight starts to shift, your energy comes back, and your brain switches back on.
You don't have to feel like this.
And you don't have to figure it out alone.
