Whole-Body Healing for Women Who Are Tired of Band-Aid Solutions

If you're in midlife and struggling with bloating, fatigue, brain fog, or hormone chaos—and you've tried everything without lasting relief—you're not alone. I help women like you uncover the root causes of their symptoms using clinical testing, targeted nutrition, and a deeply holistic lens.

Because true healing isn’t just about the gut. It’s about the entire system: fascia, food, stress, structure, and self-awareness. I’ve helped hundreds of women like you restore their energy, confidence, and clarity using evidence-based natural medicine. Together, we go beyond band-aid solutions and create real, lasting healing.

👋 Who I Am

I’m Aline McCarthy, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) and nutritionist with over 15 years in the health industry. My approach blends deep scientific knowledge with compassion and personal experience.

I’ve helped hundreds of women reduce inflammation, balance their gut microbiome, and feel like themselves again. And I’d love to help you do the same.

I specialise 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.

🎓 Why Work With Me?

Here’s what makes my approach different—and powerful:

🧠 Engineer-Turned-Healer
I started in engineering, so I think in systems, not silos. This allows me to see patterns and connections in your body that others often miss—and create clear, structured treatment plans with purpose.

🤲 Bodyworker With Fascia Expertise
With 15+ years in remedial massage,fascia and lymphatic therapy, I understand how physical tension, trauma, and structural imbalances affect the nervous system, digestion, and hormone balance. The body speaks—I've been trained to listen.

🧬 Root-Cause Functional Medicine
I’m trained as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and have studied under leaders like Dr. Jason Hawrelak (gut microbiome) and Dr. Wendy Sweet (menopause and metabolic health) as well as done advanced functional medicine studies with Dr. Kharrazian. I use advanced functional testing to guide every decision.

🧘‍♀️ Truly Holistic Care
Your healing plan will consider your labs, symptoms, stress load, fascia, food intolerances, and lifestyle. It’s science-backed and soul-aware—designed for real and sustainable healing.

This is not just a “take more supplements” approach!

 

👋 My story

 

👋 My Story

Years ago, I was stuck in a cycle of chronic back pain, inflammation, anxiety and frustration. I saw practitioner after practitioner, but nothing truly helped—until I began exploring fascia, gut health, and functional medicine. That journey led me to fully reclaim my health and rethink everything I knew about healing.

Now, I help women do the same—with empathy, science, and a no-BS approach to wellness.

The mainstream medical system did not provide any satisfactory answers for me, so I decided to learn from the best and radically change the way I was doing things.

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.
