After being discharged from the hospital I was contacted by Claire, who I believe, through the solid nutritional advice she gave me saved my life. As with most of the population, I had followed the low-fat high carb diet and frankly had become fat and ill as a result. By empowering me with new knowledge Claire has allowed me to put the right fuel into my body to reverse the damage done by poor dietary advice that has been widely expounded for years. I have lost weight, feel great and hope to get off all my medication. Claire has had a profound life-changing impact on my life and the recommendations Claire made need to become compulsory learning for any individual giving advice on how to live well and long. I nominate Claire for her courage to speak out against popular ingrained dietary beliefs and taking the time to make a real difference to peoples' medical outcomes and lives. Claire is a shining example of a caring and progressive thinking individual who is a credit to the NHS.
