About Alfio Giuffrida, MSc, ANutr
I am Alfio Giuffrida, a Registered Associate Nutritionist with the Association for Nutrition (ANutr, AfN Registration No. 47777), listed on the UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists (UKVRN) — the only register recognised by Public Health England and the NHS — and founder of NutritaYou © 2025.
I hold a Distinction-level MSc in Human Nutrition from St Mary’s University, London, and a BSc in Food Science and Technology from the University of Parma. I am also a certified Nutrigenetic Practitioner and Life Coach. Earlier in my career, I qualified as a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer (CFT2) through ISSA Italia. My MSc research, which achieved a mark above 80% and is now being prepared for peer-reviewed publication, explored the associations between eating patterns and mood-related symptoms. Alongside my academic work, I bring extensive practical experience as a Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Holistic Health Advisor within leading UK health and wellness organisations.
At NutritaYou, I combine scientific rigour with a holistic approach to help clients achieve resilience, performance, and longevity through personalised, evidence-based nutrition, movement, and lifestyle strategies.
My Story: From Food Pyramid to Personalised Health
My passion for nutrition began in childhood when I discovered the Italian Food Pyramid and became fascinated by the structure and logic behind healthy eating. This curiosity grew into decades of training, study, and client-focused work across Italy and the UK. Yet my journey was not straightforward. Despite years of discipline, I faced persistent health issues, from chronic fatigue to back pain, which forced me to reassess conventional advice. Through experience — both my own and that of close family members — I realised that nutrition must be personalised, not one-size-fits-all.
These lessons shaped my belief that science and lived experience together form the strongest foundation for true health. I became my own “Client 0” and, later, transformed my mother’s health through tailored lifestyle strategies. These turning points fuelled my decision to pursue postgraduate studies in Human Nutrition and to formalise my role as a Registered Nutritionist.
