Press Reviews

• Dr Rupy Aujla, The Doctor's Kitchen

  What I love about Miguel's book is how he weaves his own story and experience into really solid science and practical nutrition advice. He has created something powerful here. Miguel fully understands ADHD - and it shows, this book is compassionate, evidence based and genuinely useful.

• Tj Power, Neuroscientist and bestselling author of The DOSE Effect

  This book makes ADHD make sense. It helps you understand your biology in a simple, human way and shows you how to actually work with your brain rather than fight against it.

• Alex Partridge, bestselling author of Now It All Makes Sense

  This book will completely transform the way you think about ADHD and your biology. It's evidence-based but also full of radical self-kindness and genuine empathy. A must-read for anyone touched by ADHD - diagnosed or not, or supporting someone who is - seeking to understand themselves better.

• Dr. Deanna Minich, PhD, MS, CNS, IFMCP Nutrition Scientist and author of The Rainbow Diet and Whole Detox

  ADHD Body and Mind offers a refreshing and much-needed perspective by reframing ADHD as a different neurotype rather than a disorder. I appreciate how this book weaves together neuroscience, nutrition, and the gut-brain connection in a way that feels both accessible and deeply respectful of the lived experience of ADHD. It's guided by compassion, grounded in research, and filled with practical tools that honor the whole person. Whether you are navigating ADHD yourself or supporting someone who is, this book brings insight, validation, and a sense of possibility. It's a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the body-mind connection through a more integrative and empowering lens.

• Dr Rachel V. Gow, PhD, RNutr, FHEA Child Neuropsychologist, Nutritional Neuroscientist & Founder, Nutritious Minds Trust Charity

  Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas is first and foremost a friend, a colleague, and an Ambassador of Nutritious Minds Trust Charity. He is also a poetic, raw, and honest writer. I am privileged to know him. This book is different because Miguel is different, and I am not speaking about labels here. I am speaking about a human being who shares his journey with bravery, vulnerability, and ownership - helping others to learn to do the same with that same rawness, transparency, and truth. Those qualities are all too rare in this modern world. We need books like this - more human-like, compassionate, empathetic, and wise. That, in Miguel's own words, reminds us: "I see you." ADHD Body and Mind is a celebration of difference, but it is more than that; it is a kind of warm and cosy comfort blanket that you won't want to put down, written in poetic notes that sing to you. I am honored to endorse this beautiful book.

• Timothy Frie, DMS(c), MS, CNE Neuronutritionist and president of the National Academy of Neuronutrition and Center for Neuronutrition

  ADHD Body and Mind is a powerful and paradigm-shifting read that can alter the trajectory of your mental and physical health. Miguel has developed a comprehensive and compassionate owner's manual for everyone living or caring for those with ADHD. This book is filled with stories, insights and information that can change the way you see yourself and others.

• Rosie Turner, Accredited ADHD Coach & Founder of ADHD Untangled

  This book gives you a wealth of valuable knowledge while somehow nourishing your body, mind and soul instead of overwhelming you. It's not another surface-level take on ADHD. It's a full 360 look that finally brings the body, the brain, the nervous system and the soul back together. Inside you'll find gentle reminders, science that actually lands, practices to regulate your energy, recipes that genuinely help, and reflections that make you stop and breathe for a moment. It feels interactive, personal and full of compassion. As someone who has lived with the messiness of disordered eating and the emotional chaos ADHD can bring, this book finally feels practical for people like us. It's something you can reach for on a hard day and actually feel supported by. It's soulful science. It's grounding. It's hopeful. And it's needed. If you live with ADHD or love someone who does, this book will help you understand yourself in a way that feels kind and human. It honours the complexity of ADHD without ever making you feel broken. I'm so grateful this exists.

• Katie Brown, Co-Director at Body & Soul Charity

  This book reads like the joy of a conversation with Miguel himself - relatable, open-hearted, thoroughly-researched and brimming with compassion. It's clear on every page that it's been written from a place of genuine care, and that at its heart it is about feeling less alone. We look forward to sharing this book with our community, as we know many will feel seen in its pages.

• Daniel O'Shaughnessy, author of Letting Go of Perfect

  Dr Miguel's work has played a direct role in my own ADHD diagnosis, so reading this book has been both professional and personal. As someone who writes about queer health and the body, I am used to seeing information presented in a way that feels detached from lived experience. This book does the opposite. It brings neuroscience, nutrition, and nervous system care together in a way that feels honest, clear, and deeply human. ADHD Body and Mind is the companion I wish I had at the start of my own process. It explains the science without reducing you to the science. It shows you how the nervous system can be supported without promising quick fixes. And it offers language and insight that make sense of patterns many of us have carried for years without understanding why. For anyone who suspects their brain works differently or is trying to make sense of a recent diagnosis, this book gives you something rare. It gives you understanding, not judgement. It gives you tools that respect complexity. Most of all, it gives you a way into your own story that feels compassionate and grounded. This is an important contribution to neurodivergent wellbeing, and I am grateful it exists.

• Dr Mark Rackley, Chartered Psychologist

  This book is a gift from Dr Miguel. His talent and expertise from his years of experience are brought together in this wonderful book. He makes complex information accessible and understandable to help you. Enjoy reading this gift.

• Annika Angelo, ADHD Nutrition Science Communicator and Founder of Nutrimind Lab

  We all focus on what to eat. But it doesn't tell the whole story. It's not just about what to eat---it's how our nervous system responds. Dr. Miguel masterfully brings us back to the roots of food: us and nature. This isn't just another ADHD self-help book: it's a layperson textbook, cookbook, and mental health skills session in one. I can't recommend it enough.

• Dr Megan Arroll, Clinical psychologist and author of Tiny Traumas

  As a psychologist and fellow author, I'm struck by how rare it is to find a book that is both scientifically rigorous and profoundly human. Miguel has achieved something remarkable here: he translates complex neurobiology and the lived realities of ADHD into a narrative that feels soothing, grounding, and genuinely transformative. ADHD Body and Mind is not simply informed by research, it is infused with compassion, clarity, and the courage to name the factors that shape our nervous systems. This is a book written by someone who understands that healing is both science and tenderness. I see this book as a vital contribution to the ADHD field and a generous gift to readers. ADHD Body and Mind is the kind of book that doesn't just inform, it steadies you like a lifelong friend who just happens to be an expert in neuroscience and nutrition! Miguel weaves science, lived experience and deep compassion into a guide that feels like someone is finally seeing the whole of you. This isn't another manual telling you to fit yourself into some peg, rather, it's a gentle, evidence-based invitation to help you understand your nervous system, soothe the tiny 't' traumas you've carried for far too long, and meet yourself with more kindness than you ever thought possible. This is a beautifully written book by my colleague and friend, and a neuroaffirming companion for anyone who has ever felt 'too much' or 'not enough.'

• Ben Branson, founder of The Hidden 20%

  This book FINALLY joins the dots between science, story, and the lived reality of ADHD. Miguel speaks our language with clarity and compassion. A must read!

• Dr Susanna Petche, founder of Trauma-Sense

  This book has gold on every page. Dr Miguel gently guides the reader through the landscape of ADHD; simplifying neuroscience and the latest research to provide a deep, grounded understanding of the reality of living with ADHD. This book beautifully lays out the intersection between trauma and ADHD, providing tools and support for how to bring love and compassion to ourselves so we can truly thrive. This book is essential reading for those anyone impacted by ADHD, as well as for those wanting to better understand how and why ADHD shows up the way it does, in relationships, health & wellbeing and the workplace, and how to support, or just be with someone who identifies as being neurodiverse.

• Diann Wingert, MSW Former Licensed Psychotherapist, Business Coach for Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs, and Host of the Top 5% Globally-Ranked ADHD-ish Podcast

  Dr. Miguel has written the book I wish I'd had when I was diagnosed with ADHD well into adult life. This isn't another surface-level ADHD self-help book promising quick fixes-it's a deeply researched, scientifically grounded, yet profoundly human exploration of what it means to live in an ADHD body and mind. For my clients and podcast listeners who are ready to go beyond 'ADHD 101' and really understand their brains, this is the book I'll be recommending. Dr. Miguel has given us exactly what we need-not more #ADHDhacks, but actual understanding of what's happening in our brains and bodies, delivered with both rigor and compassion.
