We combine clinical experience and an integrative vision to take care of your digestive health.
We are two gastroenterologists, longtime friends with a shared dream. We met during our gastroenterology internship at Egas Moniz Hospital, Western Lisbon Hospital Center, which also includes São Francisco Xavier Hospital and Santa Cruz Hospital, where we also practiced emergency and internal medicine.
Our training and growth as gastroenterologists was marked, from the outset, by the technical and scientific advances and demands of this field of medicine – gastroenterology has been one of the fastest-growing specialties in recent years. There has also been an exponential increase in the functional gastrointestinal pathology now known as brain-gut interaction disorders (BGID).
We grew and developed our teamwork, participating in various clinical trials conducted at our hospital center, ranging from inflammatory bowel disease to hepatology, where we participated in the study and implementation of innovative therapies, such as the treatment of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and viral hepatitis. During our internship, we always sought to establish close relationships with peers, the hospital, and the community, actively participating in courses, training sessions, conferences, patient associations, and health centers, promoting well-being and preventing disease. Furthermore, we sought to gain experience and wisdom through internships in leading national and international institutions. All of this occurred while balancing our professional and personal lives, during which we also became mothers and wives.
After finishing our internship and this very important and decisive stage in our lives, we continued our common path, geographically separated:
-to treat our patients as best as possible, not only by managing their acute and chronic illnesses, but above all by preventing disease and promoting health and well-being. To this end, we have always focused on the patient as a whole, not the disease itself. However, we found a shortage of multidisciplinary and integrative medical services, particularly for brain-gut disorders.
And so Gut For Life was born: the first multidisciplinary online clinic in our field, where science is combined with empathy, respect and understanding, so that each person can be the architect of their own health.

Michael, Logistics & Guest Services
Temilola and team came in, spoke with our management team, and assessed what wasn't working. They gave us clear systems we actually use every day. Our service flows better, our team communicates more clearly, and I finally feel like I'm not running in circles.
