Your instructor

Hi, I’m Mag. Alfredo Scarlata — sports scientist turned nutrition-science devotee.

I started my career with a Master in Sport Science (focus on prevention & rehabilitation) and later deepened my expertise with graduate studies in Nutrition Science at the University of Vienna. For more than 25 years I’ve coached everyone from new mums to corporate CEOs, turning lab data on calories, macros and metabolism into results they can see in the mirror.

Today I run MyPersonalTrainer in Vienna, where I combine personalised training with evidence-based nutrition coaching. Media outlets regularly invite me to debunk diet fads and explain the science behind sustainable weight management — a role I’ve filled for 20+ years.

I've designed this as a practical, science-based nutrition course — ideal for self-coaching or as a nutrition system for personal trainers working with clients.
