About Aline McCarthy

Aline is a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner (FDN-P) specialising in gut health, peri-menopause and menopause. Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) is a science-based holistic approach which bridges the gap between clinical nutrition, naturopathy and functional medicine.

As a cert. Menopause Practitioner and Menopause Weight Loss Coach, she is passionate about women's hormones and longevity and continues to study on an ongoing basis with mentors/experts in the functional medicine field such as the Kharrazian Institute and Dr. Jason Hawrelak's Naturopathic & Functional Medicine Approaches to Gastrointestinal Disorders. 

Aline struggled with severe chronic back pain, anxiety, gut issues and auto-immune diagnosis for years until she found functional health and is now thriving and healthy.

She combines evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle coaching with comprehensive functional lab testing to help you identify root causes of your hormonal deficiencies, gut health and metabolic health. With her 16 years of combined experience in bodywork and natural health, her approach is unique: she will teach you lymphatic drainage, nervous system and vagus nerve reset, and use her extensive skillset in a wide range of modalities including nutrition to get the best outcomes for you. This is not just a “take more supplements” approach!

Additionally, she is passionate about education on your options for hormone therapy (HRT) so that you can work with your doctor from a position of knowledge and clarity instead of confusion and fear. 

My Nourished Gut and Hormones Method follows a proven 3 step-process that has helped hundreds of women, and you can be the next!

 

My story

Menopause Mastery

Are you are woman over 35 and want to get informed as well as take control of your midlife hormone health?

Getting to the bottom of your bodies symptoms requires two things:

  • being educated about how your body functions

  • and providing your body with the raw resources and foundations it needs to function and repair

Modern medicine is fantastic at treating acute trauma, but we find ourselves in a chronic disease epidemic - and western medicine is not preventative, it merely treats the symptoms.

In Menopause Mastery, you will not only learn everything you will ever need to know about perimenopause/menopause and how to be the healthiest version of yourself until old age, but you will also get to create new habits and take immediate action towards a great metabolism, great bone density, good brain and heart health so you feel your absolute best long term.

This platform is here to empower YOU to become your own healer with real skills, tools, achievable goals and daily habits that are actually sustainable in the long term.

 
 

You become the healer.

The body has the innate ability to heal when given the right environment to do so.

My group programs aim to achieve lasting positive change for you, by empowering you with the best tools and creating sustainable long term behaviour.

This is achieved by assessing environmental and lifestyle factors like sleep, stress relief, movement, nutrition, relationships, spirituality, clean air and water, a healthy home environment and much more.

Let’s start growing, building, repairing, nourishing to build optimal health and longevity, not just a symptom-free life.

Nourish your cells AND your soul.

This is my goal for you.
