  • HYROX athlete Lucy Procter on ADHD, PMDD and the Pressure to Perform

    HYROX athlete Lucy Procter on ADHD, PMDD and the Pressure to Perform
    Sep 8 2026
    Lucy Procter is one of the world’s leading HYROX athletes. At just 23, she has already competed at the highest level — but behind her remarkable rise is a story of late diagnosis, masking, burnout and learning to understand her body. In this honest conversation, Lucy opens up about being diagnosed with ADHD and autism as an adult, struggling to make and maintain friendships at school, and mistaking anxiety, overwhelm and “freeze days” for laziness or a lack of discipline. She also shares the impact of PMDD on her mental health, body image, heart rate, training and performance, alongside the difficult journey of losing — and ultimately regaining — her menstrual cycle. Lucy explains how she changed her fuelling, recovery and approach to training, and why rest is now an essential part of her career. As a Red Bull athlete, Lucy is competing on the world stage while learning how to work with her neurodivergence rather than against it. This is a candid conversation about ADHD, autism, PMDD, elite sport, body image, self-compassion and building a healthier, more sustainable future.

  • Clara Amfo: “I Feel Powerful” — Her Health Reset, ADHD Diagnosis and Running Journey

    Clara Amfo: “I Feel Powerful” — Her Health Reset, ADHD Diagnosis and Running Journey
    Sep 1 2026
    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.
