Meet Our Team
Preventative & Holistic Health Care
For years, our competition claimed we do ‘non-scientific’ work and we take care of soccer moms.
We’re thrilled to see they are all trying to catch up to us. They are now offering what we have for years: genetics testing and taking a holistic approach to health delivery by hiring naturopathic doctors and nutritionists.
PRECISION MEDICINE EXPERTS
Our secret is not really a secret. Global CEOs and their families come to Executive Health Centre because we are leaders in delivering what people with means really need: personalized healthcare leveraging the knowledge of precision medicine.
SEASONED CURATORS
We’ll remain leaders by doing more of what we’ve always done: helping our clients stay the healthiest they can be to live a longer life. As expert curators of evidenced based and precise diagnostics, we help our clients reduce their risks of life-threatening conditions and optimize their health and longevity.
QUALIFIED HEALTH ADVISORS
Our team of integrated health professionals are specially trained to interpret the reports from specialized testing and develop your customized action plan based on these findings.
Unfortunately, your annual check-up has hardly changed at all. The good news is, new breakthrough diagnostics can test you for the things that really count.
Take Genetics testing which can give you an indicator of your disease risks, determine the best diet and exercise program to lose weight and recommend the type of skin care that’s best for you.
While these tests have become more accessible, the bad news is many doctors don’t yet know how to interpret and advise on them.
That’s why I created Executive Health Centre, to provide health consumers with the diagnostic tests and clinical services they’ll need to prevent bad things from happening to their health and for ensuring good things.
First, you get the benefits of a true team approach. Our physicians, naturopathic doctors, nutritionists and behavioural scientists, will expertly curate and interpret your specialized diagnostic results to give you a deeper dive into your health risks. We will meet with you for an initial consultation and later review in a health team conference model for at least 1-2 hours to interpret your tests and create an integrated health action plan with specific dietary, lifestyle, medication and supplement recommendations.
But no health plan survives reality without tracking and re-evaluation – especially if you lead a busy life. So, we work with you to make sure you can start your plan and stick with it easily.
You’ll receive concierge-level service throughout your entire experience with us. This is especially true around scheduling urgent appointments at our clinic or with top specialists in Toronto and elsewhere.
You’ll also have your own “MyWellnessFile” app that holds all your medical records, action plans and charts your lifestyle habits through wearables and other Apps. It’s accessible 24/7 through your App, and you can restrict access or share it with whoever you choose.
We are very proactive! Many of our clients lead incredibly busy lives. They feel they’re okay physically today, so what’s the problem? Well, the problem – the one that will make you very sick — could be lurking inside your body right now. Or the accumulation of stress and lifestyle could make you more vulnerable not only to serious illness but to lack of good health.
So, we offer FDA-approved tests difficult to access in Canada to find those hidden problems before they become life-threatening ones, especially around cancer, heart disease, diabetes and brain decline.
Once we get those tests back, our team of experts can knowledgeably interpret them. This includes diagnostic testing of your DNA, as well as metabolic, hormone and nutrient levels.
Finally, we integrate the best of Western Medicine and Functional Medicine in order to keep your health at peak levels. We also coach you on how to reduce your risks of serious illness and improve your physical performance and mental stamina – year-round.
It’s ironic that one of the slowest-changing sectors in our fast-changing world is healthcare.
Traditional medicine, and especially conventional testing lag far behind. Often, they’re based more on tradition than on evidence.
And surely, we all know by now that health and wellness is more than just treating what ails you. It’s about taking a holistic approach to managing and optimizing your well-being.
That’s why we turned our focus years ago to preventing disease using Precision Medicine. Today we are recognized leaders in this field; and our holistic programs are proven by science – specifically with the Nobel-Prize winning science of telomeres.
We are always looking forward, always deploying new scientific discoveries to arm you with knowledge and give you power over your total health. Using groundbreaking diagnostics, innovative technology, and guidance from expert health coaches, your good health is truly — and finally — within your control.
Many chronic conditions, including cancer, can be prevented if they’re detected early. If you’re on the path toward getting sick, it’s not too late to reverse the harm done. We can show you how to achieve this reality for yourself and your loved ones.
Our Executive Health Centre team is recognized for its visionary work in personalized, preventative health care. Founder, Dr. Elaine Chin, formed North America’s first physician and naturopathic doctor-integrated health clinic in 1997 at the Mississauga Hospital (now Trillium Health Partners). Today, the combined expertise of this innovative model is unmatched in North America and provides you the best in seamless medical and naturopathic care.
Executive Health Centre continues to lead the way in integrating health professionals as well. We do this by supporting their patient’s holistic approach to health care. Little wonder our team has been heralded for introducing a more positive and effective approach to personalized medicine.
