Miguel Toribio-Mateas brings a wealth of expertise to the Health4Life team as a fully-qualified nutritional therapy practitioner, academic tutor and lecturer, researcher and as a Director of the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT).
Spanish-born Miguel has had a life-long love of cooking and good food. Living in London from the mid-nineties he soaked up different cultural traditions, always favouring a Mediterranean diet 'with an oriental twist'. He first became 'formally' interested in the world of nutrition while learning about Ayurveda during his Yoga teacher training with the British Wheel of Yoga. Soon after completing his postgraduate studies in Environmental Science, his inquisitive and experimental mind led him to start a Nutritional Medicine degree with acclaimed Dr Lawrence Plaskett at Plaskett College, then to complete his BSc Honours at Thames Valley (now West London) University. He has more recently studied Functional Diagnostic Medicine with Drs Grisanti and Weatherby at The Functional Medicine University and FMTown.
He runs two busy London nutrition clinics where his specialist areas include inflammatory conditions, skin disorders and gastrointestinal and hormonal imbalances. He also works at nutrition-based retreats by Detox International and Inside Out Nutrition. He has also recently become appointed expert Nutritional Therapist at the London Medical & Aesthetic Clinic, a world renowned Harley Street aesthetic medicine clinic directed by Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi a leading international plastic surgeon and a pioneer in the use of non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
Miguel has an Academic Tutor / Lecturer role at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, where he is currently leading a research project on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and mitochondrial integrity. Other research interests include oxidative cellular damage and the improvement of vital cellular energy, which is essential for biotransformation and detoxification processes.
As a Director of BANT (British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy), a member of BANT Council and Chair of the Membership Committee, Miguel aims to attain the highest standards of integrity, knowledge, competence and professionalism in the practice of Nutritional Therapy.
Outside his academic and clinical commitments, Miguel provides training and research support to academics and clinicians across Europe through his on-going collaboration with scientific publisher Springer and offers consultancy services to the nutritional supplements industry in the UK and Spain. He is fluent in Spanish, French and Italian and is happy to conduct consultations in any of these languages.
Miguel holds a full NTC Certificate of Competence by the Nutritional Therapy Council, is a full member of BANT and is registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council, which is funded by the Department of Health. He’s also registered on the NHS Directory of Complementary and Alternative Practitioners for GP referrals.
