About

Vicente Mera leads Internal & Longevity Medicine at SHA Spain. He earned his MD at the University of Seville, achieved Spain's top MIR exam score, trained in internal medicine at Hospital Clinica Puerta de Hierro, and joined SHA at its opening era. He later built or led the clinic's longevity, sleep, anti-tobacco, echography, and densitometry services. He is also one of SHA's most visible clinical voices through European anti-aging medicine award recognition, the book Joven a cualquier edad, and a long-running role as SHA's senior longevity physician.

What to Know

Signature approach

Mera works from a seven-pillar healthy-aging model: nutrition, movement, emotional management, sleep, intestinal microbiota, detoxification and regeneration, and hormonal balance. Biological-age markers, telomere length, epigenetic methylation, genomics, imaging, and internal-medicine judgment help decide where to intervene. When appropriate, the plan can include bioidentical hormones, regenerative medicine, smoking cessation, sleep work, and metabolic support.

What sets them apart

  • Founder-era SHA tenure. He has shaped SHA's internal medicine, longevity, sleep, anti-tobacco, and imaging services from the early years onward.
  • Awarded longevity physician. European anti-aging medicine recognition and later Spanish health excellence awards give him unusually visible credibility.
  • Author and advisor. His book and Lifeboat Foundation Life Extension Board role extend his public longevity voice beyond the clinic.
  • Spanish internist base. A conventional internal-medicine career underpins the anti-aging and regenerative work.

Before You Book

  • Care focus. Comprehensive longevity medicine, biological clocks, genomics, bioidentical hormones, sleep, smoking cessation, or internal-medicine risk review.
  • Program-based access. His care is folded into SHA Spain stays rather than offered as a simple local consult.
  • Separate hospital roles. Vithas Alicante, IMED Levante, and Clinica Britannia are independent affiliations, not SHA booking channels.
