My Story
I’m Vânia Pinto — neuroscientist, mother of two, and the heart behind Glym.
From rural Portugal to London’s leading hospitals to helping build the first Neurological Institute in the UAE, my journey has always been guided by curiosity, science, and compassion.
After years of caring for patients with devastating brain diseases, I realized something was missing in healthcare: prevention. That’s why I created Glym.
To show how everyday choices can shape long-term brain health and to empower people to act early, build resilience, and protect what matters most.
Why trust me?
Because I truly care for others.
Because I’ve seen what happens when we wait too long — and what’s possible when we don’t.
Because you deserve more than quick fixes and one-size-fits-all advice.
Because your brain is you — your memories, your dreams, your identity.
And it’s worth protecting.
