My name is Gianluca Tognon, and I hold a PhD in Nutrition from the University of Westminster in London. I have been working as a researcher, university lecturer, and nutritionist for over 20 years. After studying the effects of the Mediterranean diet on health, I now lead the transition from traditional dietary guidelines to data-driven nutrition, integrating microbiome analysis and blood markers to optimize human health and performance. I am the scientific coordinator of the MIND-GUT study and of the DIOR study at the University of Skövde in Sweden.

My philosophy is based on a personalized approach to nutrition, considering both the body and mind as integral parts of overall well-being. I strongly believe in the importance of a balanced diet not only for weight loss but also for improving mental health and general well-being. The MIND diet, in particular, aims to reduce the risk of dementia and cognitive decline associated with aging. This diet combines aspects of two very popular diets: the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet.
Our gut microbiota plays a fundamental role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health. Research has shown that the composition of our gut bacteria is closely linked to weight loss and mental well-being.
Chronic stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression can negatively affect our gut microbiota, leading to an imbalance that can exacerbate mental health issues and increase the risk of gastrointestinal disorders. At the same time, an imbalance in gut flora can contribute to systemic inflammation, which can in turn negatively affect mental health.
I provide a high-level personalized approach to nutrition, moving beyond generic guidelines to create strategies tailored to each client’s unique biological profile.
My methodology integrates blood biomarker screening with gut microbiota testing to gain a comprehensive understanding of your metabolic and intestinal health. By analyzing the intestinal microflora, which is scientifically linked to both mental resilience and physical well-being, I translate complex epidemiological data into a precise, actionable nutritional roadmap designed to optimize your long-term health.
