Dimitrios Samaras M.D.

Dr Dimitrios SAMARAS completed his postgraduate medical training in Switzerland where he obtained his title in Internal Medicine and in Geriatrics. Concurrently with his studies, he obtained medical diplomas in “Nutrition of the elderly” and in “Rheumatology and systemic diseases”, respectively at the University “Pierre et Marie Curie” in Paris and at the University “Louis Pasteur” in Strasbourg. His particular interest in the prevention of aging led him to become a Board member of the “American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine” in the United-States of America.

He has worked as an attending physician in the University Hospitals of Geneva, in the fields of Geriatrics, Bone Diseases and Clinical Nutrition. He is currently continuing his academic activities as consultant physician at the University Hospitals of Geneva in the Unity of Clinical Nutrition.

He has a particular interest in micronutrients and nutraceuticals (foods with pharmaceutical properties) and how they can be used to promote a healthy aging. His nutritional program called mispoon combines the need for a “lifestyle revision” with evidence-based medicine promoting thus a successful aging. His first book is already published in French and in Greek.

Dr Samaras is an awarded author of multiple scientific publications on nutrition, micronutrition, hormonal substitution and aging, published both in Europe and North America. His profile as well as his capacity to easily explain medical information and making it accessible for everybody has made him popular in Swiss media (television, radio, newspapers) for commenting nutritional news and literature.
