Dr. Dimitris Tsoukalas is a medical doctor and scientific director of Metabolomic Medicine® medical group, with clinics in Athens Greece and , Milan Italy.
He is 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, using Metabolomic Analysis®.
Metabolomic Analysis® detects deficiencies in micronutrients and the metabolic causes of autoimmune and chronic diseases.
He graduated in 1991 from the Medical School of " Università degli Studi di Napoli, Federico II" in Italy.
In 2000 he completed his specialization in General & Family Medicine at the Hippocrates Hospital of Athens, while in 2013 he completed the Update Course For General & Internal Medicine at Harvard Medical School.

He is an Associate Member Wolrd Academy of Sciences.
Dr. Tsoukalas has a significant scientific and research activity. He has published more than 50 scientific studies and is a keynote speaker at medical international conferences for the detection of metabolic disorders and micronutrient deficiencies related to preventing and treating autoimmune and chronic diseases.
One of the published peer-reviewed studies on the effects of MSG on human health, in which he participated as an author, is among the most downloaded studies in recent scientific literature.
