My name is Dargkinis Sotirios and I hold a degree in Dietetics and Nutrition from the A.T.E.I. of Thessaloniki.

Nutrition, through my perspective, is a journey that transforms lives; you are unique and deserve individualized guidance to achieve your goals. That is why I am here, as your companion throughout this entire journey.

Additionally, I have attended educational seminars on clinical nutrition for hospitalized patients, metabolomics, and clinical applications in autoimmune and chronic diseases, and I have been trained in sports nutrition and auriculotherapy. Through my training in auriculotherapy, I aim to manage stress, hunger, and metabolism. Finally, I have participated in numerous seminars related to the microbiome and diabetes.
