Why subscribe to The Creative Scientist?
Welcome to The Creative Scientist, a space where science, creativity, and the art of being human intersect. I’m Dr Miguel, a clinical neuroscientist, nutritionist, and gut-brain/mental health specialist with a uniquely wired brain (hello, ADHD and autism!). This is where I explore the beautiful messiness of life through a scientific lens and a compassionate heart.
Here, you’ll find more than just science. You’ll discover:
Insights into the gut-brain connection: How microbes, nutrition, and neuroscience influence emotional and mental health.
Reflections on resilience and growth: Stories and tools for navigating burnout, unique neurotypes, and life’s inevitable challenges.
Food, mood, and meaning: How what we eat shapes how we feel, think, and show up in the world—explored through science, storytelling, and practical wisdom.
Musings on meaning and self-awareness: I weave Zen philosophy, neurobiology, and lived experience to inspire more authentic, connected living.
Creative takes on human connection: Because science isn’t just about data. It’s a way of understanding ourselves and others more deeply.
What Can You Expect?
I offer rigorously grounded ideas you can apply to your life. Whether it’s a thought-provoking piece on mindfulness, a deep dive into how gut health shapes your mood, or reflections on neurodivergence as a strength, my goal is simple: to help you think differently, nourish yourself, and live more fully.
So, are you ready to embark on a transformative journey that combines the wonders of science with the beauty of human connection? Subscribe to The Creative Scientist today 🙏🏽
