Dr. Dimitris Tsoukalas is a highly esteemed board-certified family physician, scientific director of the Metabolomic Medicine® Medical Group, and the president of the European Institute of Molecular Medicine. He is also an associate member of the World Academy of Sciences. With clinics based in Athens, Greece, and Milan, Italy, Dr. Tsoukalas is widely recognized as a pioneer in the prevention and treatment of autoimmune and chronic conditions such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. His innovative approach utilises Metabolomic Analysis®, a method that identifies deficiencies in micronutrients and the metabolic causes of these conditions.

Dr. Tsoukalas graduated in 1991 from the Medical School of the Università degli Studi di Napoli, Federico II in Italy. He then completed his specialization in General and Family Medicine at the Hippocrates Hospital of Athens in 2000.

He is also a prominent figure in the scientific community, having published over 50 peer-reviewed studies. His research and work have earned him a reputation as a key speaker at international medical conferences, particularly on topics related to metabolic disorders and micronutrient deficiencies linked to autoimmune and chronic diseases. One of his studies, co-authored on the effects of MSG on human health, has become one of the most downloaded studies in recent scientific literature.

Dr. Tsoukalas is deeply involved in academic collaborations and research. He is working with La Trobe University in Melbourne on a clinical study investigating the impact of a Mediterranean diet, rich in omega-3 fats, on childhood asthma. He also collaborates with national and international university institutions to conduct research on autoimmune diseases, with the aim of identifying indicators for the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with modern lifestyles. In his editorial roles, he serves as associate editor for *Metabolomics* in the scientific journal *Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences*, as well as guest editor for several other respected scientific journals, including *Antioxidants*, *Nutrients*, and *Pathophysiology*.

Dr. Tsoukalas’s expertise and dedication to advancing medical knowledge have earned him recognition as an outstanding reviewer by ELSEVIER in 2017 for his work in the journal *Food and Chemical Toxicology*. His scientific work continues to shape the understanding and treatment of chronic diseases, particularly those linked to metabolic and autoimmune dysfunctions, making him a leading figure in the field of metabolomics and integrative medicine.
