Sturdy Shelf
About Sturdy Shelf
Nora, on the Sturdy Shelf Instagram, is a fictional AI character. She had no part in these guides. A real person is responsible for them, and the 'I' below is that person.
Sturdy Shelf is one person: me. I run it from Saudi Arabia and write in English for readers anywhere.
I'm not a doctor, a dietitian or any other licensed professional, and I don't present myself as one.
I make guides for the stretch after a big change, when the advice is out there but scattered across forums, threads and half-remembered tips. For each guide I read what people going through that change say in public, keep what comes up again and again, check the key numbers against published sources, and write it down in plain words.
Every guide shows where its key facts come from, says what it can't do for you, and sends the questions that belong to a professional back to one. The name is the idea: a small shelf of guides you can come back to.
