This is what Jane had to say after her programme:

I consulted Catherine feeling stuck with being heavily overweight and permanently tired despite what I thought was a fairly healthy diet including at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day and plenty of good proteins and healthy carbs. For the past 3 years I had also needed to take medication to control high blood pressure and whilst it was well controlled, I wanted to try and control it naturally to dispense with or at least reduce the need for medication. I had wondered about hormone imbalance following menopause, but we weren't able to run diagnostic tests being mid pandemic.

However, Catherine advised a very low carbohydrate eating plan, cutting out all processed foods and hidden sugars, as well as alcohol, explaining that I needed to help my gut to heal from any damage over the years and re-educate my body to burn fat rather than the easy glucose it obtained from eating carbs (in my case lots of pasta and potatoes!).

During the process she recommended food supplements to support my digestive system as well as prescribing homeopathic medicine to address knee pain and inflammation from arthritis as well as poor sleep.

Very quickly I felt more alert and energetic and my knee pain reduced dramatically so that in addition to following the eating plan I started going for a 30-minute walk most days which also improved my sense of wellbeing. Whilst I have at times missed some of my favourite pasta meals, or a jacket potato with tuna mayonnaise or a few glasses of wine, I can honestly say that I have not been hungry whilst following this plan.

And the results speak for themselves ... after 9 weeks I have lost 24lb (circa 11 kilos), I have dropped a dress size, and my blood pressure has gone down by at least 10 points. Friends are commenting favourably both on the weight loss and also my glowing skin and bright eyes. I am happy to recommend this to anyone wanting to lose weight, reduce their blood pressure and improve their general well-being.
