Detox Manager and Nutritionist

Miguel first became interested in the world of nutrition via previous study in Yoga, Reiki, Environmental Science and a life-long love of good food. Spanish-born, he always favoured a Mediterranean diet "with an oriental twist". His inquisitive and experimental mind soon led him to study Nutritional Medicine with the acclaimed Dr Lawrence Plaskett at the Plaskett College, and then Thames Valley University; and more recently Functional Medicine with Drs Grisanti and Weatherby at The Functional Medicine University.

"I believe that each and every person is utterly unique. Each of us is made up of an individually coded web of interconnections among the physical, the mind, the spirit and environmental inputs such as psycho-social circumstances, our diet, the air we breathe and the water we drink. The sum of all of these factors creates our own dynamic balance which rests upon our genetic predisposition to health and disease.

In my practice I combine theories concerning the body's subtle energies with Functional Medicine and Neuro Linguistic Programming to identify and treat specific dysfunctions that permeate through the whole of our being, affecting the different layers of our existence."

As part of his Honours in Nutritional Medicine Miguel is currently researching the effects of nutritional therapy on oxidative cellular damage and the therapeutic implications on the improvement of vital cellular energy, which is essential for biotransformation and detoxification processes. His other areas of interest include inflammatory conditions, skin disorders and gastrointestinal and hormonal imbalances.
