Claire King
Perimenpause Coach
Hi, I’m Claire
Although I have always been fit and active throughout my life after I had my third child back in 2003 I found that the weight I gained during pregnancy didn’t shift even though I went back to my Martial Art training 4 weeks after he was born.
I found myself gaining two stones in weight, my body and mind seemed to change dramatically.
My hair was falling out in clumps and I was extremely tired and my brain was fuzzy all the time.
I had always been happy and full of life but I found myself feeling low and worthless. I just didn't feel like me. So I went to see my GP and explained my symptoms. They discussed depression and said that I was a busy mum and that could be contributing to how I was feeling so I left with no further help.
When I got home I did some research and found hypothyroidism and my symptoms seemed to fit. I went back to the GP and asked them to do a blood test just to check my levels. They did and the results came back borderline so I was told to come back in 6 months and they would check again.
I did and the next test came back borderline again. In total it took three years and lots of visits to the GP from that initial blood test to get a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s.
I have, like many people with Hashimoto’s struggled with my symptoms and I have had to work hard to keep my weight down and keep myself motivated to keep active and happy I have been doing well on meds and controlling my diet and my exercise and then this year I started feeling lousy again and I have now established that I am perimenopausal.
I understand that our hormones and mindset are responsible for so much of what goes on in our lives hence why I have trained as a health coach specialising in Hormone health and now gut health as well.
I want to help you !! I can make positive, health promoting food and lifestyle changes that can potentially help you get you feel good about yourself.
As a qualified Hormone Coach I want to motivate, empower and educate you so you can start living your life to the full.
