Bio
Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas 是一位臨床神經科學家,擁有跨學科背景,涵蓋神經科學、微生物學、人類營養學和創業學等領域。Miguel 擁有超過 25 年的醫療保健、科學和技術經驗,他的工作將科學的嚴謹性與個人敘述相結合,專注於腸道與大腦的聯繫、神經多樣性及情緒健康。他的研究探索了腸道微生物群與專注力失調及過度活躍症(ADHD)之間的相互作用,提倡採用以強項為基礎的方式來處理神經多樣性狀況,從而改變我們對 ADHD 的理解,將其視為一種獨特的神經類型,而非一種障礙。

Miguel 是一個跨學科研究團隊的成員,該團隊專注於 ADHD 研究,並在《英國醫學期刊》上發表了關於 kefir(克非爾)減輕兒童 ADHD 症狀的研究成果。他的工作提倡神經多樣性,強調 ADHD 的創造潛力及其與情緒調節、執行功能和腸道健康之間的複雜關係。他的研究和臨床實踐專注於培養神經多樣性個體茁壯成長的環境,利用自我體諒、靜觀和營養策略來支持認知和情緒的抗逆力。

他在這個領域的貢獻為他贏得了多項榮譽,包括由桑坦德大學(米德爾塞克斯大學)頒發的著名「工作為本學習」博士學位獎項、倫敦南岸大學應用科學學院的五年研究員職位,專注於食物、情緒和 ADHD 的研究,並在目前擔任卡迪夫大學心理學院的名譽研究員。

Miguel 擁有專業研究博士學位(DProf),其研究重點是腸道微生物群與心理健康(米德爾塞克斯大學),臨床神經科學碩士學位(羅漢普頓大學),營養醫學榮譽學士學位(西倫敦大學),國際商業碩士學位(倫敦南岸大學),以及環境決策制定的研究生文憑(英國公開大學)。

Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas is a clinical neuroscientist with a transdisciplinary background in neuroscience, microbiology, human nutrition, and entrepreneurship. With over 25 years of experience across healthcare, science, and technology, Miguel’s work uniquely combines scientific rigour with personal narrative, focusing on the gut-brain connection, neurodivergence, and emotional well-being. His research explores the interplay between the gut microbiome and ADHD, advocating for a strength-based approach to neurodivergent conditions, transforming how we understand ADHD as a unique neurotype rather than a disorder.

Miguel is part of a transdisciplinary research team focusing on ADHD and has published research in the British Medical Journal on the effects of kefir in reducing the severity of ADHD symptoms in children. His work champions neurodiversity, highlighting ADHD’s creative potential and its complex relationship with emotional regulation, executive functioning, and gut health. His research and clinical practice centre on fostering environments where neurodivergent individuals can thrive, leveraging self-compassion, mindfulness, and nutritional strategies to support cognitive and emotional resilience.

His contributions to the field have earned him several accolades, including a prestigious "Work-Based Learning" doctoral award from Santander Universities (Middlesex University), a five-year research fellowship at the School of Applied Sciences, London South Bank University, focusing on food, mood, and ADHD, and his current role as Honorary Research Fellow at Cardiff University’s School of Psychology.

Miguel holds a Doctorate in Professional Studies (DProf) with a focus on the gut microbiome and mental health (Middlesex University), an MSc in Clinical Neuroscience (Roehampton University), a BSc Honours in Nutritional Medicine (University of West London), an MSc in International Business (London South Bank University), and a postgraduate diploma in Environmental Decision Making (The Open University).
