About Alison
I’m Alison, and I’m 44. I’m a mum, I work, and for years I just got on with life without thinking much about my body.
Then things started shifting. My belly got softer even though I was eating the same. I’d wake up at 3am for no reason. Some days I didn’t recognise the woman in the mirror.
When I went looking for answers, I mostly found crazy diets made for 25-year-olds, or people telling me that’s just getting older. Neither helped me.
So I started learning for myself, trying things in real life, and sharing what works here. I’m not a doctor. I’m a woman going through the same thing as you, figuring it out as I go.
