About

Mariel Silva directs medical services at SHA Spain. She trained in medicine at the National University of Rosario in Argentina, validated her qualification in Spain, and later completed anti-aging and cosmetic-medicine training, including a master's in Anti-Aging Medicine at the University of Barcelona. Her clinical center of gravity is gut health: dysbiosis, leaky gut, microbiome balance, and lifestyle patterns that support digestive and whole-body health. As medical director, she also coordinates how Spain's clinical pillars work together during a stay.

What to Know

Signature approach

Silva leads with the microbiome. She uses testing, history, symptoms, and patient education to connect digestive health with energy, inflammation, cognition, skin, and general wellbeing. Her style is practical and explanatory: reduce sugar and ultra-processed foods, protect sleep, move regularly, avoid unnecessary antibiotics or anti-inflammatories, and give patients a clear map of why each step matters.

What sets them apart

  • Spain medical lead. She coordinates medical services across the flagship SHA campus rather than owning only one narrow specialty.
  • Gut-health anchor. Microbiome and dysbiosis work give the broader longevity program a clear clinical center.
  • Argentina-to-Spain path. Rosario medical training, Spanish validation, Barcelona anti-aging study, and HLMS membership create an international longevity-medicine profile.

Before You Book

  • Care focus. Gut health, microbiome concerns, functional medicine, whole-program orientation, or medically led coordination.
  • Director-level role. Her clinical input is part of the SHA stay structure rather than a simple one-off appointment.
  • Languages. Public sources support Spanish and English.
