Personalised consultations, nutrition plans and body-composition analysis from a nutrition scientist who studies how taste, appetite and food cravings really work.
Research presented at
Healthy eating only lasts if you actually enjoy it. Every recommendation starts from the evidence, then gets shaped around your tastes, your schedule and your goals.
Advice grounded in current nutrition research, not trends. You'll know why every change matters.
Giorgia's research is on taste and appetite. Your plan is designed around food you like, so it is easy to stick to.
Bioimpedance (BIA) shows what is changing beyond the scale: muscle, fat mass and hydration.
Sessions take place in person in Zürich or online, in English, Italian or French.
A thorough first session to understand your health, habits, preferences and goals, followed by clear, practical recommendations.
A plan built around your week and your taste, not a generic diet sheet.
A quick, painless measurement of fat mass, lean mass and body water, explained in plain language.
Taking Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro® or similar? Eat well while your appetite changes, protect your muscle and build habits that last.
Two people can weigh the same and have very different bodies. BIA sends a tiny, painless electrical signal through the body to estimate what you are made of, so we can track real progress.
BIA is safe and non-invasive, but it is not recommended with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, or during pregnancy. For the most reliable results: no heavy meal or exercise 2–3 hours before, and no alcohol the day before.
15 minutes to talk about your goals and see if we're a good fit.
An in-depth session with a BIA measurement to set your starting point.
Practical, tasty recommendations or a full nutrition plan within a few days.
Regular check-ins and measurements to adjust and keep you on track.
All prices in Swiss francs. In-person sessions in Zürich or online.

For people on GLP-1 medication.

I'm a nutrition scientist completing my PhD in Nutrition Science at Purdue University, working with Prof. Richard D. Mattes, one of the leading researchers on taste and appetite. My research looks at how GLP-1 medications affect taste, smell, cravings and the constant thoughts about food that people call “food noise”.
Originally from Italy, I trained in Food Science at the University of Bari and in Nutrition Science at the University of Florence, then worked on gut-microbiome research at the University of Glasgow. In my lab I run dietary assessments, sensory tests and bioimpedance measurements every week. Science You Can Taste brings that same rigour to you, with the Italian conviction that good food should be enjoyed.
“Healthy eating isn't about willpower. It's about understanding how your body and your taste buds work, and building on that.”
Presented research on GLP-1 receptor agonists and eating behaviour at the American Society for Nutrition's annual meeting.

A conversation about what new research says about cravings and food noise on GLP-1 medications.
No. You can book directly. If you have a medical condition or take medication, I'll ask you to keep your doctor informed, and I'm happy to coordinate with them.
Not by Swiss basic insurance (KVG/LAMal), which only reimburses registered dietitians on a doctor's referral. Some supplementary plans contribute to prevention or health-coaching services, so it's worth asking your insurer. You'll get a detailed receipt for every session.
Yes, this is my research area. I'll help you get enough protein and nutrients with a smaller appetite, protect your muscle mass, and prepare for the time you reduce or stop the medication. I never advise on dosing: that stays with your doctor.
For consultations and plans, yes. The only thing that needs you in the room is the BIA measurement, which can be scheduled separately whenever you're in Zürich.
Avoid a heavy meal, coffee and exercise for 2–3 hours before, skip alcohol the day before, and use the bathroom just before the measurement. BIA isn't suitable if you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, or are pregnant.
