Our Story

The WA siblings.

More than 20 years of method, three siblings, and one conviction: the same science that takes an athlete to a world championship takes you to 100 with energy, independence, and mental clarity.

WA did not start as a clinic. It started as a protocol, a conviction, and a brother who decided to measure before prescribing. More than 20 years later, it became a longevity club with its own laboratory, artificial intelligence, and a team dedicated to every club member. This is the timeline.

Timeline

2005
The beginning.
Waltão Abreu graduates in Physical Education and starts seeing clients with his own lifestyle change protocol. The foundation was already what it is today: daily training pulls nutrition, nutrition pulls sleep, and the results sustain the cycle.
2008
All of Brazil.
The method reaches clients in every state of the country and in a few other countries, through online care. Remote care enters WA's story well before it became a trend.
2012
The team is born.
One rented room inside a clinic. Then a second, a third, a fourth. The multidisciplinary team is born: physician, nutritionist, physical trainer, and psychologist. It is in that room that Waltão Abreu meets Deborah, now WA's administrative director. The method becomes a team.
2015
Nutrition.
Waltão Abreu studies Nutrition to also master the side of the table that changes results the most. The method now speaks training and nutrition with the same depth.
2018
MonitoradoWA.
The continuous glucose sensor enters the method with MonitoradoWA, launched in the Brazilian market even before the clinic was founded. For the first time, the club member sees in real time what each meal does to their body.
2019
Clínica WA.
Opening of WA's own premium space in Jardins: its own laboratory and facility, built to measure everything before prescribing anything.
2021
The pandemic and the leap.
With the world at home, WA creates new care plans, expands remote monitoring, and grows exponentially.
2023
Wearables and the world's elite.
Watches, rings, and bands start feeding the team's decisions about each club member's lifestyle. That same year, Wagnão Abreu, Waltão Abreu's brother, a USP-trained pharmacist-biochemist and researcher in the United States, becomes a professional bodybuilder, with WA's structure and rigor.
2024
WAnda, NeuroTraining, and Face.
WAnda, the nutrition AI connected to lab results, is born: one photo on WhatsApp and the club member has flexibility in their diet anywhere in the world. Waltão Abreu launches NeuroTrainingWA, integrated physical and cognitive training, a method of his own creation. And Dr. Valquíria Blatzheim, Waltão Abreu's sister, a USP graduate and author of reference books in the academic world, brings from Europe, on her bimonthly visits, the facial rejuvenation techniques that join WA's body and hair techniques. FacialWA is born.
2025
Eighth in the world.
Wagnão Abreu reaches 8th place in the Master pro division of the Mr. Olympia world championship. Proof that the same method serves the stage and longevity.
2026
WA Health Tech Club.
Clínica WA becomes WA Health Tech Club: a club for members seeking health, performance, and longevity, with the WA Method, the WA Longevity Score, concierge, and CorporateWA for companies. WA's own platform goes live, reading each club member's watches, rings, bands, and sensors at the same time and delivering everything to the team in a single dashboard. Waltão Abreu takes a director's seat at the newly created Brazilian Society of Lifestyle (Sociedade Brasileira do Estilo de Vida).

Three siblings, one standard

Elite sport and a centenarian's life ask for the same thing: detail, method, science, and continuous medical care. Each of the Abreu siblings took that standard somewhere different. The three meet at WA.

Waltão Abreu

Based in Germany for 20 years, she runs her own health and facial care clinic and was the first Brazilian in her region to have her credentials recognized for legal practice in the country. At WA, she is responsible for FacialWA: taking care of what weight loss doesn't fix.
