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 minerals 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 that won't shift
✦ 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.
Services
Low-carb and ketogenic specialist
& pelvic health support
My specialist low carb and ketogenic nutrition services are tailored to your unique hormones, metabolism and lifestyle — so you get results that actually last.
No two women experience menopause the same way, and your nutrition plan shouldn't be one-size-fits-all either.
No matter how bad you might be feeling today, there is a better tomorrow waiting for you.
At the beginning of this year I realised I probably needed to change my life but I wasn't exactly sure how. Then I visited Claire and it sounds dramatic but she changed my life. Since the beginning of May I have lost 16.5 lbs in weight, my nutrition is better than it's ever been in my life and I can lift 3 x heavier than I could a year ago. This wasn't about weight loss for me, this was about improving my health and my lifestyle. I still have a little way to go but at least I now feel that I'm on the right path to do it. Thanks Claire, you're awesome 🙌 ❤️

Registered Nutritional Therapist - DipION, mBANT, CNHC
I've been helping women take back control of their health since 2017. Not by telling them to eat less and move more — but by getting to the root of why they're struggling in the first place.
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.
Most women start noticing perimenopause symptoms in their early 40s — and without the right support, those symptoms can drag on for years. Hot flushes, anxiety, mood swings, aching joints, bloating, stubborn belly fat, and a brain that just won't switch on.
Sound familiar?
Here's what's actually going on: shifting hormones directly disrupts the way your body handles blood sugar. That's what's driving the cravings, the weight creeping on around your middle, and the energy crashes that hit you like a wall by midday.
Eating less won't fix it. Exercising more won't fix it. That approach stopped working the moment your hormones changed — and honestly, it was never the right tool for the job.
Low-carb and ketogenic nutrition works with your midlife hormones, not against them. When you get your blood sugar stable, something shifts — the cravings quieten, the weight starts to move, 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.
