Humberto Luís Rodrigues Barbosa (Funchal, August 8th, 1961) is a Portuguese nutritionist.

He completed his university degree in England, and in 1983 he completed a doctorate degree in nutrition. In 1983 he submitted to the Rome Academy of Sciences a scientific thesis in psychology and nutrition. This thesis gave him a merit gold medal in the area of Psycho-Biological Sciences. This thesis was published in 1986 in Portugal under the name “Nutrição - a Ciência da Saúde[1]”.

In 1992 he founded a nutrition clinic in Parede, municipality of Cascais, and introduced in 1997 the specialty of Orthomolecular Nutrition. In 1999 this clinic was franchised and several clinics were established throughout the country (including Azores and Madeira Islands) and one clinic in Spain (Madrid). Humberto Barbosa developed a method in the field of nutritional psychology called “Consultation on Nutrition, Weight Management, Diet and Revitalization[2]”, which in 2002 obtained the Qualicert certificate, Compliance Certificate No. 9332/38/61600/SO102, awarded by SGS ICS - International Certification Services, and was the first quality certification awarded in Portugal in the nutrition area.

In 2007, after more than 20 years of professional experience in nutrition, he published his second book on the dietary habits of the Portuguese people and the necessity of nutritional re-education [3].

Humberto Barbosa regularly participates in thematic television and radio shows, and also writes some articles in various publications, both in general and specialty publications, as the journal “Saúde e Bem-Estar”.

He continues to practice nutrition in Parede, in “Clínica do Tempo” [4].
