LONGEVITY
Longevity nutrition in Lisbon and online
Longevity isn't about adding supplements. It's about measuring where you are now, from metabolism and muscle to inflammation and sleep, and changing what moves those numbers years before disease shows up.

This is for you if
If several of these are familiar, you're in the right place.
You feel fine and want to stay that way
Your energy isn't what it was
Diabetes, heart disease or dementia run in your family
Blood sugar or cholesterol are creeping up
You're losing muscle or gaining fat after 40
Burnout, poor sleep or high stress
You like decisions based on data
What we focus on
Healthy ageing comes down to a few systems. We measure them, then work on the ones that need it.
Metabolic health
Blood sugar and insulin, the earliest signals of most chronic disease.
Muscle
The strongest predictor of healthy ageing, and something nutrition can protect.
Inflammation
Low-grade inflammation speeds up ageing. We look for its source.
Energy and mitochondria
Nutrients and habits that support how cells produce energy.
Sleep and stress
The repair work happens at night, and chronic stress undoes it.
How I find the cause
Every assessment is personal. I start with your story and the results you already have, and only add what will change the plan.
Your full story
Symptoms, history, medication and everything you've already tried.
Your existing results
I go through any recent results you bring, in detail.
Testing only when it changes the plan
No standard package. If more information is needed, I'll explain why.
Alongside your doctor
Medical causes are ruled out first, with your doctor when needed.
How we work
Over four months, with a consultation roughly every month and the plan adjusted as you improve.
1
Baseline
A personalised starting point, so we can measure change.
2
Nutrition for metabolism and muscle
Protein, blood sugar and food quality.
3
Targeted supplements
Only what your results justify. No standard stack.
4
Sleep, stress and training
Recovery habits, and coordination with your trainer if you have one.
5
Retest
Measure the change and adjust.
Two ways to start
Most people start with a first consultation. If you already know you want the full programme, you can book it directly.

A note on medical care
Prevention work complements medical check-ups. It doesn't replace them.
