Nutritional Therapy Consultant Miguel Toribio-Mateas has teamed up with Master Clinical Hypnotherapist Monica Black and the group of Complementary Therapy practitioners at the Belsize Health Complementary Medicine Centre to provide a specialist weight loss clinic.
More and more research is looking at the all important link between the brain and the gut. We now know that approximately 80 percent of the human body’s total serotonin is located in gut cells. Only a few years ago we thought serotonin only existed in the brain. Serotonin is “the happy neurotransmitter”, responsible for the regulation of mood, appetite, sleep, as well as muscle contraction. It also has some cognitive functions, including in memory and learning. Ever had a “gut feeling” about something? Well, now you know why! It is therefore hardly surprising that our relationship with food is so deeply emotional. So much so that – in most instances – our minds are the best place to start when looking for the root of problems relating to body weight, eating disorders, and even digestive issues. Given that appetite regulation is one of the key functions of serotonin, understand this brain-gut relationship seems paramount to resolving any issues with portion control, overeating and weight management.
Monica is one of the country’s leading qualified Master Clinical Hypnotherapists and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) Practitioner. She specialises in the Virtual Gastric Band Surgery technique, which has helped thousands of overweight people around the world to lose weight without the need of actual surgery. She also has an excellent success record with sufferers of skin disorders and eczema.
Miguel runs two busy London Nutritional Therapy Clinics – Harley Street and Belsize Health – where his specialist areas include hormonal/endocrine imbalances and inflammatory conditions, particularly gastrointestinal and skin disorders.
When these two practitioners begun to talk about how they believed they could help each other’s clients, the energy and enthusiasm kept growing by the second. They were instantly excited about the advantages of tackling your individual case from different angles. Monica will help the more behavioural and emotional aspects of your condition, whilst Miguel will help you change those elements in your diet that may be causing the problem, as well as order any tests you may need in order to find any biochemical or nutritional imbalances.
