He completed his college education in England in 1983 when he obtained a PhD in nutrition. In 1983 he submitted to the Academy of Sciences of Rome a scientific thesis in Psychology and Nutrition, and was awarded a merit gold medal in Psycho-Biological Sciences. In 1986 he published in book that thesis in Portugal, as an author's Edition "Nutrition - The Science of Health" (Barbosa, Humberto - "Nutrition - The Science of Health".[1] Lisbon: Nave, [D.L. 1988]. 123 p.).

In 1992 he founded a nutrition clinic in Parede, municipality of Cascais (Portugal), where he introduced in 1997 the specialty of Orthomolecular Nutrition. In 1999 this clinic was franchised and under his clinical direction other units were opened throughout the country (Portugal-Mainland and Islands) and one in Spain (Madrid).

He created a method in nutritional psychology he called "Consultation of Nutrition, Weight Control, Alimentary Re-education and Revitalization"[2] for which he obtained, in 2002, the Qualicert certificate, Certificate of Conformity No. 9332/38/61600/SO102, awarded by SGS ICS – International Certification Services. That was the first quality certification awarded in Portugal in that same field.

In 2007, after more than 20 years of professional practice in the nutritional-care, he published his second book about the Portuguese eating habits and need for alimentary re-education (ISBN 978-972-20-3294-0).[3]

He regularly participates in radio and television thematic shows, besides being a chronicler in several publications in social media like VIP Magazine,[4] and in specialty publications like "Health and Wellness".

Currently he continues his clinical practice and research on nutrition and anti-aging treatments in Parede, at his clinic "Clínica do Tempo".[5]
