S4 Ep 1: 'Sleep, Light and the Microbiome' featuring Adriano dos Santos, BSc, rNutr, AFMCP, MBOG, RSM, ESIM
02/28/25 • 52 min
Adriano dos Santos is a Functional Registered Nutritionist who focuses on nutritional therapy for patients with metabolic syndrome, particularly those suffering from digestive issues and sleep disturbances.
For Adriano, the fundamentals start with sleep, and he is on a quest to help people improve the quality of their night time rest. In doing so, he takes the gut-mind connection several steps further with his research on how light impacts the gut microbiota and, in turn, impacts sleep. Adriano shares with us some of the insights he’s learnt from his research, and how he’s translating that to help his clients in practice. This takes the conversation from chronotypes and peripheral clocks, to when to eat dinner, and how to support the gut microbiota. Both Adriano and his research are buzzing with possibility, and it’s exciting to see where his research will take us.
Adriano joins us again at the virtual IHCAN Conference in June, with his talk ‘Darkness of Light Exposure: Light, Circadian Rhythms, and Microbiota for Chronic Disease Management’ - for more information, and to book your ticket, visit https://www.ihcanconferences.co.uk/june-2025/
