At the<strong> SoLongevity Clinic<\/strong> in Milan, <strong>Maria Letizia Scaglioni<\/strong>, nutritionist biologist, works in <strong>neurofunctional nutrition<\/strong>, a discipline that studies the two-way interaction between food biochemistry and the nervous system. In this interview, she guides us in discovering how our choices at the table can modulate not only our weight, but also our <strong>mental clarity<\/strong>, our <strong>stress response<\/strong> and our <strong>long-term health<\/strong>, emphasizing the importance of a<strong> personalized approach<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<h2>Dr. Scaglioni, what exactly is neurofunctional nutrition?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cNeurofunctional nutrition studies how <strong>diet<\/strong> directly influences the <strong>nervous system<\/strong>. And, conversely, how the nervous system itself regulates our eating behaviors and <strong>energy metabolism<\/strong>. The brain, through the hypothalamus, integrates hormonal signals such as leptin, linked to the feeling of satiety, ghrelin, linked to the feeling of hunger, and insulin. It is important to understand that behaviors often judged as<em> \u2018lack of willpower\u2019<\/em>, such as emotional eating, often stem from underlying hormonal or biochemical <strong>imbalances<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n    <div class=\"container-product-box_art\">\n        <div class=\"product-box_art\">\n            <div class=\"product-image_art\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"539\" height=\"519\" src=\"https:\/\/solongevity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Maria-Letizia-Scaglioni-team-medico.jpg.jpg-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solongevity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Maria-Letizia-Scaglioni-team-medico.jpg.jpg-2.jpg 539w, https:\/\/solongevity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Maria-Letizia-Scaglioni-team-medico.jpg.jpg-2-480x462.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 539px, 100vw\" \/><\/div>\n            <div class=\"product-details_art\">\n                <h2 class=\"product-title_art\">Chiedi maggiori informazioni sulla nutrizione neurofunzionale<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"product-description_art\">La nutrizione neurofunzionale pu\u00f2 intervenire nei casi di stress cronico, disturbi del sonno, disregolazione del senso di fame e alterazioni dell\u2019asse intestino-cervello, integrando strategie nutrizionali pro-longevit\u00e0.

What is its role in this balance? <\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe<strong> gut-brain axis<\/strong> is fundamental. The <strong>bacteria<\/strong> of our intestinal flora produce molecules such as short-chain fatty acids that modulate <strong>inflammation<\/strong>, insulin sensitivity and the production of metabolites and signals that modulate the production and function of <strong>neurotransmitters<\/strong> (such as serotonin and dopamine). The latter also influence the production of melatonin and, consequently, the quality of <strong>sleep<\/strong>. A balanced nervous system, supported by proper nutrition, allows us to respond better to stress, preventing cortisol from becoming chronically high, a condition that can lead to loss of muscle mass and fat accumulation\u201d.   <\/p>\n<h2>How does cortisol affect muscle mass?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIts nature is intrinsically catabolic, which means that it has catabolic effects on tissues (it promotes metabolic breakdown processes in which complex molecules such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins are split into simpler molecules, releasing energy, ed.). Under normal conditions, cortisol provides an <strong>acute<\/strong> response to stress, acting as an <strong>ally<\/strong> of the body. However, when a person is <strong>chronically stressed<\/strong>, the levels of this hormone remain constantly elevated. This excessive and prolonged presence of cortisol in the blood can lead to various problems, including <strong>loss of muscle mass<\/strong> and easier <strong>fat deposition<\/strong>\u201d.   <\/p>\n<h2>What is the recommended dietary foundation to support the nervous system and general health?<\/h2>\n<p>The foundation must be an anti-inflammatory diet, essential to <strong>counter <em>inflammaging<\/em><\/strong><strong>,<\/strong> the aging linked to silent chronic inflammation. The reference approach is the <strong>Mediterranean diet<\/strong>, rich in functional foods: extra virgin olive oil, dark cocoa, red berries and spices such as turmeric, black pepper, chili pepper, cinnamon. A key role is played by the <strong>omega-3s<\/strong> found in oily fish and salmon, which are nutrients with an anti-inflammatory action and support for cardiovascular and brain health\u201d.  <\/p>\n<h2>Are there substantial differences between men and women in the nutritional approach?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cCertainly. Men and women are different from a hormonal point of view. While men have a more constant hormonal profile, <strong>women<\/strong> experience hormonal variations linked to the menstrual cycle and to the different phases of life that require <strong>nutritional adjustments<\/strong>. Women physiologically have a predisposition to greater fat mass and a generally lower basal metabolism, also linked to body build. During the fertile years, attention must be paid to <strong>iron<\/strong> deficiencies and an adequate protein intake must be ensured, divided throughout the day, to stimulate muscle synthesis and prevent emotional eating. In <strong>menopause<\/strong> too, protein and calcium intake becomes crucial to counter the loss of muscle mass and the risk of osteoporosis\u201d.     <\/p>\n<h2>Speaking of nutrients, can you give us some practical advice on how to combine foods?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cA common mistake is hindering the absorption of essential nutrients. For example, calcium can counter the absorption of iron; therefore, it is better <strong>not to combine red meat and cheese<\/strong> in the same meal. <strong>Coffee<\/strong> and <strong>tea<\/strong> too, since they contain caffeine and theine, reduce iron absorption: it would be better to consume them <strong>away from meals<\/strong>, perhaps mid-morning, also so as not to exacerbate cortisol peaks on waking. On the contrary, vitamin C, such as <strong>lemon juice on meat<\/strong>, enhances iron absorption\u201d.   <\/p>\n<h2>Why is it so important to consider muscle not only for movement, but for brain health?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cMuscle is a true endocrine organ. When we contract it, it releases molecules called <strong>myokines<\/strong>, such as interleukin 6, which improve <strong>neuroplasticity<\/strong>, promote new neuronal connections and positively influence mood. Sport, therefore, literally improves the structure of our brain\u201d.  <\/p>\n<h2>Are there particular recommendations for those who practice high-intensity sports?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cYes, these people, such as <strong>runners<\/strong>, can be exposed to a temporary increase in<strong> oxidative stress<\/strong> and inflammatory load if recovery is not adequate, which can predispose to <strong>premature aging<\/strong> and neurodegenerative diseases. To counter these risks and optimize performance, it is even more important to adopt an <strong>anti-inflammatory diet<\/strong> rich in omega-3s, spices and antioxidants. In addition, to support muscle synthesis, athletes must ensure an adequate and divided <strong>protein intake<\/strong>, which can range from 1.5 g to 2.2 g per kilo of body weight\u201d.  <\/p>\n<h2>What does the precision nutrition approach at the SoLongevity Clinic consist of?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWe use<strong> advanced diagnostic tools<\/strong> to provide useful indications on early metabolic alterations, to be integrated with the traditional clinical and laboratory picture. Through <strong>metabolomics<\/strong>, which is performed by analyzing urine, we identify micronutrient deficiencies. The added value of this test compared with traditional tests lies in its ability to <strong>identify problems \u2018at the root\u2019<\/strong>: often, in fact, blood tests are normal even when a deficiency has already begun but is not yet manifest in the bloodstream. Thanks to metabolomics it is possible to act <strong>preventively<\/strong>, filling these gaps through diet or targeted supplementation before the condition worsens\u201d.   <\/p>\n<h2>Are there other parameters that you measure to assess the \u201clongevity reserve\u201d?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cYes. We assess <strong>body composition, <\/strong>not only with weight, but through clinical bioimpedance analysis and DEXA, a very low-intensity X-ray test that makes it possible to see visceral fat, the fat hidden around the organs that is most dangerous for cardiovascular and inflammatory risk. Finally, we measure aerobic capacity (<strong>VO2 max<\/strong>) and physical strength with the <strong>handgrip test<\/strong>, both fundamental predictors of longevity, to structure highly personalized nutrition and training plans\u201d.  <\/p>\n<h2>Speaking of visceral fat, how do you intervene with the so-called &#8220;false thin&#8221; (<em>skinny fat<\/em>)?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe <em><strong>false thin<\/strong> <\/em>are people who appear thin but have an <strong>excess of visceral fat<\/strong>. In these cases it is necessary to act on several fronts: drastically reduce alcohol and sugars, prefer whole grains and combat a sedentary lifestyle with<strong> targeted physical activity<\/strong>. In general, recognizing the need for personalization based on gender, starting conditions and lifestyle is the pillar of healthy longevity, where prevention becomes a scientific and everyday act\u201d.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We discuss it with Maria Letizia Scaglioni, nutritionist biologist at the SoLongevity Clinic in Milan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":38754,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[327,267,169,257],"class_list":["post-40727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-scientific-study","tag-gut-brain-axis","tag-longevity","tag-nutrition","tag-solongevity-clinic-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Food, Muscles and Brain: Neurofunctional Nutrition as the Key to Longevity - SoLongevity<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Want to live longer?
