Hello, I'm Claire Foss
I'm a married mum of two living in Hampshire.
I have 2 sons (one is a teenager!) a husband, elderly parents and many different hats to wear... so at times my life can feel hectic. Perhaps you feel the same way.
On my 41st birthday, I found out that a friend had died and my life changed dramatically.
She was a couple of years older than me, 2 children, a husband, was always vibrant and full of life, and the shock of this tragic news sent shockwaves through our little community, it hit our cores, hard.
It de-stabilised me, the thought of something similar happening to me started to become all-consuming.
This sent me down a path of unbalanced hormones, that dominated and ruined my life for many years.
I suffered from brain fog (I felt like I was on another planet some days), anxiety, migraines, cold sores, stress, panic attacks, random crying, I lost weight, I didn't want to see my friends, I felt no joy from things that used to bring me joy and If I'm being completely honest, at times I felt like I was on the edge of insanity.
It was frightening.
It was a very overwhelming, difficult, and upsetting period of my life.
I struggled on, day by day and after a period of time, I decided I needed to start taking action.
It was essential to get my health and hormones back in balance.
It was at this time that I started training at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition and discovered the importance of nutrition to help nourish my body, from the inside out.
I also undertook mindfulness classes and started meditating and exercising regularly, again.
I believe it was the combination of all three changes that steered me back to balanced hormones and happiness.
This journey back to health, happiness and wellness made me realise the impact that stress and unbalanced hormones can have on your life; they dominate how you think, act and feel.
The reason I work with women, over 40 is that I'm on the same path as you. I know that my daily decisions regarding food, exercise and how I manage my daily stressors will have a huge impact on my day.
I don’t know about you, but I want and deserve to feel happy, energised, and balanced!
I want to eat well, sleep well, engage fully with my children, spend days at the beach. I want to laugh with my girlfriends, spend quality time with my husband and do all of these things with an abundance of energy!
I qualified as a Nutritional Therapist in 2017 at the highly-accredited Institute for Optimum Nutrition,
I am a full member of The British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) and Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).
Now I am able to share with you the secrets to happy hormones and balance.
