About Aline
I am a Brazilian nutritionist and scientist with over 15 years of experience bridging clinical nutrition and molecular biology. My work is rooted in science, guided by genetics, and focused on understanding how each body uniquely responds to food, lifestyle, and environment.
My Journey
My path began in a very different place, inside research laboratories. During my Master’s training, I studied the effects of aerobic exercise on the morphology of the intestinal mucosa. This work sparked my long-standing fascination with gut health and how lifestyle factors shape biology at a cellular level.
Growing up in Brazil, I was always fascinated by how the human body works at its deepest levels. This curiosity led me to earn my PhD in Biology from the University of São Paulo (USP), one of Latin America’s leading research institutions, where I specialized in cellular and molecular mechanisms of the intestinal mucosa.
After completing my PhD, I moved to the United States to pursue postdoctoral research at Georgetown University and The George Washington University, where I investigated the molecular biology of intestinal and lung cancer and deepened my understanding of epigenetics.
From Brazil to Washington, D.C.
The Turning Point
While I was deeply immersed in cancer and epigenetic research, something unexpected started happening. Friends, family members, and even former patients began coming to me not with questions about disease, but about everyday health struggles.
“Why can’t I lose weight no matter what I try?”
“Why am I always exhausted?”
“Why do certain foods make me feel so bad?”
With my background in molecular biology, genetics, and nutrition, I began to recognize a pattern that traditional approaches often overlook. The issue wasn’t simply calories, macros, or willpower. It was the interaction between each person’s unique biology and the way their body responds to food, stress, and lifestyle.
That realization changed the direction of my work, and the way I wanted to help people.
Building a Bridge Between Lab and Life
Today, my work lives at the intersection of science and real life. I translate complex research from genetics, epigenetics, and physiology into practical, personalized nutrition strategies that people can actually apply.
My approach is not about rigid diets or one-size-fits-all plans. It is about understanding how your body works, how your genes interact with your environment, and how small, informed adjustments can lead to sustainable change.
This is the bridge I build every day: transforming scientific knowledge into personalized guidance that supports long-term health, balance, and well-being.
