Provider at Solace Wellness Aesthetics
Last updated May 2026
Doctor of Nursing Practice • Board-Certified Family Practitioner • Associate, American College of Cardiology
Dr. Flávio is a Doctor of Nursing Practice who graduated with honors from Chamberlain University in Chicago. He completed his clinical fellowship in 2018 and earned his Associate designation from the American College of Cardiology (AACC) in 2019 — one of the most rigorous credentials in cardiovascular medicine. He has served as a hospitalist at all four major Lee County hospitals, giving him a depth of acute care experience that is rare in the wellness space.
Now based at Solace Wellness Aesthetics in Fort Myers, Dr. Flávio applies his clinical background to functional and integrative medicine. His practice is rooted in a core belief: the body knows how to heal when given the right conditions. He creates those conditions through precision lab analysis, targeted peptide protocols, hormone optimization, and personalized nutrition guidance — all without the rushed 12-minute appointment model.

Clinical Philosophy
Dr. Flávio trained in high-acuity hospital medicine — the kind of environment where every decision has immediate consequences. That experience built a level of clinical rigor that translates directly into his functional medicine practice. He reads labs the way a hospitalist reads a deteriorating patient: with full context, not cherry-picked markers.
His philosophy draws from three pillars. First: individualization. No two patients receive the same protocol, because no two people have the same biology, history, or goals. Second: evidence. Every intervention he recommends has a mechanistic rationale and a growing body of research behind it — whether that’s peptide biology, endocrinology, or metabolic medicine. Third: integration. At Solace, his protocols work alongside IV therapy, PRP microneedling, and aesthetic treatments to create outcomes that neither modality could achieve alone.
Fort Myers patients who see Dr. Flávio are not managing decline. They are actively optimizing. There is a meaningful difference between those two approaches, and it shows in every result.

Dr. Flávio works with patients experiencing hormonal imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, chronic fatigue, poor recovery, weight gain, cognitive decline, sexual health concerns, and general optimization goals. He also works with healthy patients who simply want to perform at a higher level and age better. He does not treat acute disease or replace your primary care physician.
Because Dr. Flávio is physically at Solace, he can coordinate care with our aesthetic providers. Hormone optimization improves skin collagen and neuromodulator longevity. Peptide therapy enhances wound healing and PRP outcomes. NAD+ supports the cellular environment that makes every aesthetic result more durable. We design integrated protocols for patients who want both.
