Detox Manager and Nutritional Therapist

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 whilst learning about Ayurveda during his Yoga teacher training with the British Wheel of Yoga. His inquisitive and experimental mind soon led him to study Nutritional Medicine 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.

"I believe that each and every person is 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 use a mix of right and left brain, science and intuition. I encourage my clients to explore their mind/body connection and to listen to their bodies. I then use Functional Medicine clinical analysis and testing to identify any specific dysfunctions. Physical imbalances permeate through the whole of our being, affecting the different layers of our existence. Equally, negative emotions can have a devastating effect at physiological level. My goal is to help you find balance, for life."

Miguel is currently an Academic Tutor and Lecturer at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition. His research interests include oxidative cellular damage and the improvement of vital cellular energy, which is essential for biotransformation and detoxification processes. He also runs a busy clinic in London where his specialist areas include inflammatory conditions, skin disorders and gastrointestinal and hormonal imbalances.
