About Aline McCarthy
Aline is a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner (FDN-P) specialising in gut health, vaginal health and peri-menopause/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.
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 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. When your GP either does not want to prescribe hormones, does not have time to help you understand your symptoms and what else you can do other than HRT- Aline spends time with you and tailors a plan with your nutrition, lifestyle and natural remedies as well as understanding HRT.
She has done specialised training in vaginal health and is passionate about helping women have healthy and happy vaginas.
