XYLA - Key Persons


Judith Onyewuchi

My name is Judith. I am Italian-Nigerian, born and raised in Rome by my amazing Nigerian parents. I feel blessed and lucky to have had the best of both worlds, culturally, traditionally and culinarily. I am a foodie, and besides my interest in science and health, I think the real reason I became a dietitian is because I wanted to learn the secrets of enjoying food whilst still trying to be healthy.
