Introduction to Alison Diss

Meet Alison, Functional Nutritionist & Personal Trainer

Hi, I’m Alison! I became a nutritionist because I knew I couldn't build the career or the life I wanted running on caffeine, convenience foods, and food noise that never switched off.

I know what it's like to be the person who looks like she's got it all together, calendar full, always showing up but with high functioning anxiety and stuck in the same loop of being "good" for a few days, then undoing it all at the weekend. Restrictive diets and pushing harder at the gym didn't account for the actual life I was living, so none of it stuck.

What changed things was understanding what was actually driving how I was feeling: blood sugar swings, a dysregulated nervous system, and a body that was permanently under-fuelled for the pace I was keeping. Once I learned how to regulate my nervous system and work with it instead of against it, everything changed.

Now I help ambitious professionals do the same thing, through a nervous system reset that rebuilds real energy and emotional resilience, without giving up meals out, travel, or the foods they actually enjoy.

That's the whole premise of The Realign Method Nutrition Programme.

  • My one non-negotiable in my own routine: Move my body every day

  • My go-to order when out for dinner: Fish and lots of vegetables

  • What's currently on my nightstand: Bluetooth sleep mask, water.

  • The supplement I never travel without: Electrolytes

  • Where you'll find me on a Sunday: At David Lloyds in the spa

Results that speak for themself:

“ One client came to me exhausted, relying on sleeping tablets just to get through the night. Working through his diet, he came off the sleeping tablets completely, and found the energy and motivation to start growing his own business. That's the kind of ripple effect I'm looking for with every client: not just how you eat, but what it frees up in the rest of your life. “
