B-Life Clinic: more details about the clinic

Portugal, Cascais
B-Life Clinic is a private multi-specialty facility in Marina de Cascais, Portugal. Established in 2014, it operates through six departments focused on preventive medicine and longevity. The medical team turns advanced diagnostic data into personalized health strategies.

Clinical Expertise and Leadership

Dr. Joana Costa leads the clinic. She specializes in longevity and family medicine and holds a Lifestyle Medicine certification from Harvard Medical School. She also serves as President of the Portuguese Society of Medicine and Longevity Science. This leadership keeps all protocols aligned with modern preventive standards.

Dr. Helder Dores heads the cardiology department. He is a senior consultant with over 100 scientific publications and formerly served as cardiologist for Sport Lisboa e Benfica. Dr. Gustavo Luersen directs radiology, specializing in high-precision abdominal and pelvic imaging. The team also includes nephrology and internal medicine experts with 15 years of experience.

Specialties and Preventive Care

B-Life Clinic functions as a longevity center rather than a traditional diagnostic facility. The medical team focuses on several key areas:

  • Longevity Medicine: Specialists use a "Longevity Board" to decode biological age and build resilience plans.
  • Cardiology: The team manages hypertension and cardiovascular risks through sports cardiology and cardiac rehabilitation.
  • Orthopedics and Sports Medicine: Surgeons specialize in knee pathology and complex injuries like ACL tears.
  • Nephrology: Doctors manage chronic kidney conditions using functional and lifestyle medicine approaches.
  • Physiotherapy: The "Recovery" program uses targeted techniques to reduce pain and prevent training injuries.

The clinic also offers neurology consultations for cognitive performance and gastroenterology for gut health.

Advanced Diagnostic Technology

The clinic uses a proprietary Full Body Scan protocol developed exclusively for its patients. This advanced imaging is performed with Primum Imagem to detect silent health threats. The procedure is non-invasive – no intravenous contrast or ionizing radiation. It includes 14 summarized MRI scans that give a detailed view of internal health.

Every scan goes through a rigorous "post-scan review" process. Three sub-specialized radiologists interpret the results to maximize accuracy. Patients then receive a structured assessment of their current health status. This high-precision data helps the Longevity Board optimize physical performance and long-term recovery.

Services for International Patients

B-Life Clinic offers a structured journey for patients traveling from abroad. Staff provide consultations in both English and Portuguese. The diagnostic process is integrated, from initial consultation to final imaging interpretation. This means international visitors receive a complete health plan during their stay in Cascais.

A clinic with great quality! All the care is provided with great kindness. I am a client of physiotherapist Dr Sérgio Nuno, an excellent professional who, over the years, has played a fundamental role in my problems. I strongly recommend this physiotherapist’s excellence because, in addition to his knowledge and technique, he is a great human being!

The follow-up by physiotherapist Sérgio (to whom I’m very grateful for his professionalism and knowledge!), focused entirely on my recovery, along with a suitable and absolutely beautiful space, makes this experience of improving my physical condition and pain treatment have B-Life Clinic as its reference point, represented by physiotherapist Sérgio. Thank you very much.

Just say that I went in with pain and left with almost no pain. My exams were scheduled by BLife itself. The medication was only the essentials, without exaggeration. Dr Alex instills confidence and calm. I don’t have words to express the care and all the questions he asked to understand my migraine history.
