You've been doing everything right. So why is nothing working?
You haven't suddenly started eating badly. Your willpower hasn't failed. Something has shifted in your body, and the old rules no longer apply.
You've gained weight around your middle and nothing shifts it, even when you eat well
Brain fog has crept in. You feel less sharp, less like yourself
You're exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix
You think about food constantly. Sugar cravings that feel impossible to ignore
You've tried calorie restriction, fasting or high-intensity exercise and felt worse
You're considering weight loss jabs but worried about the side effects
"I know exactly what it feels like to be eating well, doing everything right, and still not recognising yourself in the mirror. That was me at 49. Your hormones are changing and the usual approaches don't just stop working, they can actively make things worse. What I experienced on this programme was genuinely life-changing. I built it so you can experience the same."Claire Foss, Nutritional Therapist
Why the old approaches stop working in perimenopause
Perimenopause is a metabolic shift. Declining oestrogen and progesterone directly affect how your body stores fat, responds to insulin, and regulates hunger. Generic diet advice ignores this entirely, and can make your hormonal symptoms even worse.
Your body is in fat-storage mode
Oestrogen and progesterone are insulin-protective hormones. As they fluctuate and fall, your cells stop responding to insulin properly, locking your body into chronic fat storage, particularly around the abdomen.
Fasting and high-intensity exercise make it worse
Calorie restriction and intense exercise spike cortisol. In perimenopause, your stress buffer is already depleted. Elevated cortisol directly drives visceral belly fat and worsens insulin resistance, so the harder you push, the more your body holds on.
Your hunger signals are disrupted
Fluctuating oestrogen reduces your sensitivity to leptin (your satiety hormone) while failing to suppress ghrelin (your hunger hormone). The result is constant food noise and cravings that feel biological, not psychological. Because they are.
Low-fat diets compound the problem
Your body needs cholesterol from fat to produce hormones. Restricting fat in perimenopause removes the raw material your body needs, and slows an already declining metabolism further.
"After testing thousands of women's hormones at FUTURE WOMAN, we could see the same pattern. Women were struggling to lose weight and the advice they were getting was making things worse. We wanted to build something that worked with the hormonal environment, not against it. Something that made the body feel safe enough to release stored fat. That is what this programme does."Eloise, Founder of FUTURE WOMAN
A staged 10-week approach, designed specifically for perimenopause
We don't start with restriction. We start by making your body feel safe. Each phase builds on the last, so that by the time you reach the core of the programme, your hormones are supported, your stress response is calmer, and your body is ready to change.
Building the foundations
Before we change what you eat, we focus on creating the right internal environment for change. Sleep, stress and reducing ultra-processed, sugary foods are the foundations that every other part of this programme rests on. Women who invest in this phase notice results sooner and find the rest of the programme significantly easier to stick to.
The metabolic reset
This is where the most significant change happens. Working with Claire's expert guidance, you shift the way your body uses fuel by temporarily restricting carbs in a controlled, structured way. This targets the insulin resistance and inflammation that have been holding weight in place. Most women describe a clear turning point, where energy becomes abundant, brain fog lifts, and the constant preoccupation with food simply stops.
A sustainable way of eating
The final phase is about making the changes last and reintroducing carbs gently in a way that works specifically for your body. You find a way of eating that maintains the metabolic benefits you've built, without the rigidity of the earlier weeks. This is what turns a 10-week programme into a permanent shift.

This programme was built because we needed it ourselves. These are not case studies. They are our own results.

Nutritional Therapist, Dip ION
Claire studied at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, graduating in 2017. She specialises in low carb nutrition for women in perimenopause and menopause.
At 49, Claire completed this programme herself. Coming off HRT, she reversed early-stage insulin resistance, dropped her visceral fat score from 6 to 4, and lost 7.4 kilograms of almost entirely fat while preserving her muscle mass. She has lived the science she teaches.
Throughout your 10 weeks, Claire is in the WhatsApp community and running weekly live Q&As. You will not be doing this alone.

Frequently asked
The programme is designed for women over 35 who are experiencing the early hormonal shifts of perimenopause, including weight gain, brain fog, food noise, fatigue and inflammation. You do not need a formal diagnosis. If you recognise the symptoms, the approach is designed for you.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have Type 1 diabetes, a history of disordered eating, gallbladder removal or a low BMI, this programme is not suitable. Please consult your GP before beginning.
It is an adapted ketogenic approach, and that distinction matters. Most keto diets fail women in perimenopause for three specific reasons: they are too long and open-ended (which stresses the body and raises cortisol), they do not include enough fibre (which disrupts gut health and hormone clearance), and they rely on intermittent fasting in a way that makes women's bodies feel under threat, triggering the very fat-storage response you are trying to reverse.
This programme addresses all three. The core phase is structured and time-limited to six weeks. It emphasises fibre-rich, whole-food eating throughout. And it does not use intermittent fasting. The goal at every stage is to make your body feel safe enough to let go of stored fat, not to force it.
The difference is not just what you eat but how your body responds to it. Standard calorie restriction tends to spike cortisol and create an energy deficit that your body reads as a threat, prompting it to hold onto fat and downregulate hormones. That is particularly counterproductive in perimenopause.
This programme reduces food intake in a way that still makes your body feel safe, and where you are consistently eating the essential macronutrients and micronutrients your hormones need to function properly. The result is fat loss that works with your biology rather than against it.
Weight loss injections work primarily by suppressing appetite. This programme addresses the root cause of appetite dysregulation in perimenopause, which is insulin resistance and hormonal disruption, through nutrition, and achieves meaningful results without the side effects associated with injectable medications.
For many women, the benefits go well beyond weight loss: reduced inflammation, improved mental clarity, better sleep and more stable mood. We cannot make medical comparisons, but we encourage you to make an informed decision.
The private WhatsApp group includes all programme participants and Claire Foss. It is an active, supportive community where women share their progress, swap tips, ask questions and support each other through the harder weeks.
Claire joins for a live Q&A every week. You can ask anything about your symptoms, your progress, what isn't working, or how to navigate a specific challenge. It is not a passive forum. It is one of the most valuable parts of the programme.
Instant digital access to the complete programme guide, recipe collection, supplement recommendations and macro tracking guide. You will also receive details for joining the private WhatsApp community and information about the weekly Q&A schedule with Claire.
The programme is compatible with HRT. Claire Foss has personal experience of this transition, having come off HRT before beginning the programme herself. If you have specific concerns about how this approach interacts with your HRT prescription, please consult your GP or raise it directly with Claire in the weekly Q&A.
