Adam Martín Skilton

Adam Martín Skilton (Tossa de Mar, Girona, 1973) holds a degree in Journalism from the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He is a writer and science communicator specialising in health and nutrition. He has worked in radio since 1992 and has served as a writer, scriptwriter and contributor to various radio and television programmes, including Les mil i una (TV3), Fet a Barcelona (Ràdio Barcelona) and La Tarda (BTV).

His books include Estimada rutina, Sempre hi ets and Mans, a defence of hands-on living, as well as El nedador d’aigües obertes, a fable that uses the sea as a metaphor and has been adapted for the theatre. Later, he focuses his research on food, seeking a balanced, healthy and environmentally friendly approach, and publishes Menjar per ser millors. Claus per a una alimentació saludable per a tota la família, La cuina natural. 101 receptes fàcils i econòmiques per a una dieta equilibrada and Cuina flexi, a book about the new trend towards flexible vegetarian eating. With Esportista i vegetarià, he explores the benefits, guidelines and myths of applying a veggie diet to sport.

His latest book, La travessia infinita, is a true story of resilience and strength that shows how pain can be transformed into energy and a driving force for taking on new challenges. The book is based on the true story of swimmer Jeremias Mateo and his ability to overcome adversity.

In 2024, he received the Ondas Award for the podcast Gent normal, which focuses on mental health disorders. His entire body of work and journalistic activity share the same aim: to bring issues related to health, habits and well-being to a broad audience through an approach that is rigorous, accessible and engaging.
