Our Team
Our multidisciplinary team is available to you, wherever you are, with online consultations that are easy to schedule and focused on your needs.
We believe that treating the intestine is treating the whole person.
Gut for Life is a 100% online polyclinic specializing in functional gastrointestinal diseases.
We combine conventional medicine and functional medicine in an integrative clinical approach that respects each person's body, mind, and lifestyle.
Our mission is to respond to those who suffer in silence from chronic symptoms, often ignored or misunderstood. Here, we create truly personalized treatment plans, with a multidisciplinary team that follows each case with empathy and expertise.

Criámos a clínica que faltava.
Gut for Life was born from the desire to care better—with more time, more attention, and a more complete vision of health.
Muitas pessoas com doenças gastrointestinais funcionais vivem sem diagnóstico, com frustração e mal-estar constante.
As fundadoras da Gut for Life, ambas especialistas em gastrenterologia, decidiram criar uma alternativa à medicina tradicional: uma clínica digital, mais próxima e mais humana.
Inspiradas pelas suas experiências clínicas e pessoais, uniram forças para lançar um projeto inovador que coloca o doente no centro — com consultas 100% online e uma abordagem integrativa.
Meet the founders of Gut for Life
Two doctors with different backgrounds, a common mission.
Dra. Liliana Araújo

Her practice integrates medical science with a patient-centered approach and the impact of the brain-gut axis.

"Medicine is a form of care. The intestine is a reflection of how we live."
