Miguel has been a friend and volunteer at Body & Soul Charity for a few years, and more recently has been contributing to the You Are Not Alone programme for 16-30 year olds who struggle with suicidality and self-harm. As part of our trauma-engaged wellbeing programme, he has been delivering workshops for young people on the connection between gut health, trauma and mental wellbeing. During the workshops, I have been struck by his ability to answer a vast range of questions with ease, wisdom and kindness, and participants have shared with me that he presents in a way that is creative and accessible to those with neurodivergence.

With Miguel, you get a wonderful combination of enthusiasm, creativity and care. We're so grateful that he is a generous contributor to our community and are looking forward to continuing to collaborate.

It was an absolute pleasure to chat with Dr Miguel on The Doctor's Kitchen Podcast. The insights and knowledge that he shared around ADHD and diet and the benefits that making small dietary changes may offer are super interesting. This episode will be so well received by our audience. Dr Miguel has a wonderful way of connecting with the audience through sharing personal experiences, and that really does resonate well with people. We had a super time chatting and cooking up a wonderful dish in our studio!

Dr. Toribio-Mateas is an outstanding scholar and speaker who has the remarkable ability to translate cutting-edge science in a way that's relevant, inspiring, and deeply engaging.

We have been privileged to have Dr. Toribio-Mateas speak at the Nutritional Medicine Institute (NMI) Summit, which is the largest and most important annual event on personalised nutrition and lifestyle medicine in the UK and attended by hundreds of health professionals and academics from all over the world. 

Miguel is an amazing source of gut health knowledge.

"Miguel, you're someone I've always respected. Your knowledge and expertise when it comes to food, and especially nutrition for brain health, has always impressed me."

Miguel Toribio-Mateas is a unique, innovative scientist. He takes his creative flair into his research pursuits, including emphasizing the diverse colorful variety of foods for healing of the gut and its connection with the brain. Miguel brings science into the realm of artistry, which is what we need in the 21st century to connect all the dots between knowledge and application.

D Miguel perfectly straddles the credible science with how this works in practice: how to adapt it in a clinical setting as well as to the general public. His research work on the gut-brain axis is fascinating and we need practitioners like him more and more - so the public stay in touch with what is going on in the ivory towers. He is a ball of energy and we are very grateful for him!

We have worked with Miguel since June 2017. The feedback we get from corporate clients is outstanding. Miguel’s key strength is the unique way he takes complex neuroscience concepts and delivers them in plain, straightforward English. He does this with passion, a practical mindset and a sense of realism. So, the audience comes away determined to make simple nutrition-based changes to optimise their performance in the workplace. People can relate to his recommendations because he puts them forward in language and suggestions which feel sustainable.

Miguel distils the incredible complexity of the gut and gut-brain connection with expert precision, providing valuable evidence-based insights and practical, actionable translation. A scientist and practitioner, Miguel is the perfect guide to navigate this complex field.

Dr Miguel understands the science. Has vast experience of working with real people, not lab mice. It is rare to find a scientist who has such a lot of clinical practice. Gut science is so new; there are few people with hands-on experience linked with the theory out there like him. He empathises and motivates real human beings to implement the changes needed to get better health results.

The work that Miguel has been doing to support our clinical teams for the last few years has been immense. He has provided thorough nutritional assessments and delivered well-informed, evidence-based and innovative programmes to our patients, aiding in their recovery from mental and behavioural disorders. With a population that can demonstrate difficulties with motivation and engagement, his responsiveness and expertise are matched by his warm, kind and enthusiastic approach, which is consistently popular with our patients.

I worked with Miguel at Atlas Biomed Group. We conducted several phase IV clinical trials and went through dozens of negotiations with partners together. As a professional, he has profound knowledge of the microbiome, nutrition, and research in general. Miguel showed a systematic approach to projects we did, and I think it was essential for achieving the results we had. It was an absolute pleasure to be in the negotiations he drove because he is an excellent speaker. As a person, he is very positive, optimistic and ready to help with any issue. I enjoyed working with Miguel very much, and this is the cause I am writing this recommendation.
