Unlock Your Health Potential with a
Personalized DNA Nutrition Test!
Personalised Nutrition to Optimise Your Health
Now you can eat according to your genes, with personalised nutrition through an exciting service called Nutrigenomix. A Nutrigenomix test analyses your DNA for genetic variants that affect your response to the foods and beverages you consume.
Some people respond differently than others to certain foods. If you’re lactose intolerant, for example, you’ll experience gastrointestinal discomfort from consuming dairy products, while others can consume all the dairy they want with no problems. DNA-based recommendations can provide greater individual precision than the general dietary guidelines. With Nutrigenomix testing, your dietitian will be able to develop the best dietary plan to help you meet your nutrition and fitness goals.
Lifestyle choices have a big impact on health risks
Instead of falling for the next celebrity diet, ever-changing fads or the latest superfood, you can make meaningful changes with dietary advice tailored to your individual genetic profile. Knowing your key health risk factors — based on your genes — can help you focus on the changes that will have the most impact.
You’ll eat smarter when you know what works for your genetic makeup, while avoiding trends and advice that don’t work for you.

Robert K. Hip Pain & Mobility Issues
I was having pain and mobility issues with an arthritic hip. Michael McCreight designed a very effective, incremental physiotherapy program to improve the flexibility in my hips and strengthen the muscles surrounding the hip. So much better now! And Michael was great to work with. Thanks!
Karine B. Elbow PainMike is knowledgeable, personable and focused on getting you better in a short amount of time. My elbow pain went from constant pain to hardly any pain after 3 to 4 weeks of treatments. I would recommend Mike to everyone and will be seeing him again if needed. Thanks again Mike for the amazing care and sharing some laughs with me.
Mohamed I. Hip & Back PainI honestly have nothing but great words to say about this place everything about this place is amazing the cleanliness the staff and how professional they are I was always skeptical about going to physio since I’ve always had the worst groin pain which led to my hips and back hurting. I know Moe the owner personally and I decided to give it a shot and got to work with Mike; I am proud to say after about 2 and a half months of working with Mike that my Groin pain is gone and my body feels amazing I didn’t think it was possible but it happened. Elysian is the best place to be if you care about your health trust me!!

Nutrigenomix adjusts advice to your genetic tolerances and looks at added factors, from caffeine to whole grain intake.

Nutrigenomix FAQs
Our registered dietitian will perform this simple genetic test to determine the best foods for your body. You’re asked not to eat or drink anything (water is allowed) for 1 hour before your test.

The sample will be sent off to the Nutrigenomix lab to test 70 genetic markers, which will produce the report regarding your nutritional needs.
