Learn more about Dr. Ammous

Physician, educator, and advocate for medicine that addresses causes rather than symptoms.

Dr. Ahmad Ammous in clinical attire

Dr. Ahmad Ammous is an Assistant Professor at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, where he holds a faculty appointment in the Department of Medicine, Section of General Internal Medicine. He also serves as an Internal Medicine Hospitalist at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital–Plymouth in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

He completed his medical training in internal medicine in the United States, but was unsatisfied with modern medicine's focus on treatments rather than cures. He therefore chose to study nutrition, quantum biology, and natural medicine — disciplines that address the root cause of disease rather than simply hide symptoms.

His work focuses on metabolic health, circadian biology, ancestral nutrition, and the deeper environmental and systemic factors behind chronic disease. He is also an advocate for decentralized healthcare and frequently discusses the intersection of medicine, economics, and patient sovereignty.
