Clara Amfo joins Claire Sanderson for an honest, funny and inspiring conversation about the health reset that has changed how she feels in her body and her everyday life.
After years of running on and off, Clara explains how training for the London Marathon prompted her to take a more structured approach to her health — prioritising strength training, nutrition, sleep and recovery. She shares how learning to fuel properly, build muscle and train consistently has made her feel stronger and more powerful, both physically and mentally.
Clara also opens up about receiving an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood, the relief of understanding her brain, and the ways it has influenced her relationship with food, dopamine, focus and time. She discusses body image and the pressure women face to become smaller, including how people’s attitudes towards her changed when her body changed.
Plus, Clara reveals the simple habits that help her manage a busy career spanning television, radio and podcasting — and explains why putting herself first has become non-negotiable.
