I’m Alyssa, Founder of Midlife T1D
I’m a midlife woman with Type 1 Diabetes, a former interior designer turned wellness mentor, and someone who spent years trying to hold everything together for everyone else.
I’m still on my journey too, including working toward losing 20 pounds and understanding my midlife hormones and I’m here to help women like us feel steadier, calmer, and more empowered… without perfection.
Midlife T1D is where we make things lighter, more joyful, and more doable together.
What I Believe
- You’re not behind.
- You’re not meant to navigate midlife T1D alone.
- Your mindset matters as much as your insulin settings.
- Compassion beats perfection every single time.
- Your body isn’t broken, it’s changing.
- You deserve support that sees the WHOLE you.
- Humor and joy are healing tools.
- Small steps lead to big relief.
Why I Created Midlife T1D
Because I know how exhausting midlife + Type 1 Diabetes can be.
I’ve lived the hormone chaos, the unpredictable blood sugars, the burnout, the guilt, the weight struggles, and the emotional rollercoaster.
And after finally finding more balance ,emotionally and physically, I felt called to help other women feel that same sense of steadiness and hope.
Midlife T1D is the resource I wish I had years ago.
