The Visionaries Powering ABOPM

Guiding the future of precision medicine through clinical excellence, education, genomics, AI innovation, and global health leadership.

Dr. Elliot Dinetz
Chief Operating Officer

Elliot Dinetz, MD, ABFM, FAAMM, ABAARM

Dr. Elliot Dinetz is a board-certified Family Physician and Fellowship-trained specialist in Metabolic and Functional Medicine. Early in his career, he recognized that the central challenge facing healthcare is not merely a lack of access, but a culture that overlooks root causes — often providing one-size-fits-all solutions.

Committed to changing this paradigm, Dr. Dinetz employs preventive and restorative Functional Medicine. As an early adopter of Clinical Genomics and precision medicine, he utilizes advanced biomarkers to identify and correct imbalances, extending healthspan and reversing disease trajectories that conventional medicine accepts as inevitable.

His innovative approach has led to numerous publications in peer-reviewed medical journals and popular magazines, helping physicians understand that preventing and reversing disease is both possible and practical. His expertise has earned him invitations to speak at national and international medical conferences, promoting advanced methodologies and aiding physicians in transforming medicine for the better.

Dr. Dinetz serves on the advisory boards of the Age Management Medical Group (AMMG), Forbes Health, and the Institute for Regenerative and Cellular Medicine. He has contributed to prominent publications including Psychology Today and TIME Magazine, with a focus on empowering individuals to embrace a proactive approach to health. He is a Voluntary Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and is the founder of Timeless Health in Miami, FL.

Multi-Omics Science

The Role of Multi-Omics in Precision Medicine

Modern medicine increasingly recognizes that disease is driven by complex biological interactions rather than single genetic or molecular abnormalities. Multi-omics science integrates multiple biological layers to provide a comprehensive molecular understanding of health and disease.

Genomics

Genomics – The study of DNA and genetic variation that influences disease risk and treatment response.

Explore
Transcriptomics

Transcriptomics – Analysis of gene expression patterns that reveal how cells respond to disease processes.

Explore
Proteomics

Proteomics – Investigation of protein structures and interactions that drive biological function.

Explore
Metabolomics

Metabolomics – Measurement of metabolic pathways that reflect cellular activity and disease states.

Explore
Microbiomics

Microbiomics – Understanding the role of the human microbiome in immune regulation, metabolism, and chronic disease.
