Aneurysms and hemorrhages can sound alarming, but early detection can make a meaningful difference.

Through full-body MRI screening, we are able to identify early signs of vascular abnormalities, including aneurysms and hemorrhages, before they become urgent.

An aneurysm occurs when a weakened section of a blood vessel begins to bulge, often without obvious symptoms. Hemorrhages can result from injury or underlying vascular issues. In both cases, understanding size, location, and risk early allows physicians to plan care thoughtfully rather than reactively.

MRI imaging provides detailed insight without invasive procedures. If an abnormality is identified, follow-up imaging helps determine whether monitoring, medication, or further intervention is appropriate. This proactive information supports better decision-making and long-term health planning.

Elysian’s Imaging and Diagnostics clinic uses advanced Siemens MRI technology to deliver high-quality imaging in a comfortable, efficient setting. Because clarity today can help prevent serious outcomes tomorrow.

If you have questions about MRI screening or your personal risk, our team is here to help.

Mindfulness isn’t about doing more or striving for perfection. It’s about paying attention to what’s already happening, with intention. Small, consistent practices can meaningfully reduce stress, improve focus, and support overall wellbeing.

Here are five practical ways to live more mindfully day to day:

1. Slow down transitions

Pause between activities. Take a breath before opening your laptop, entering a meeting, or getting in the car. These brief moments help reset the nervous system and reduce mental overload.

2. Eat without distraction

When possible, eat without screens or multitasking. Paying attention to taste, texture, and fullness supports digestion and helps reconnect you to your body’s signals.

3. Notice your breath

You don’t need formal meditation to benefit from mindful breathing. Simply noticing your breath for 30–60 seconds can help calm the nervous system and improve emotional regulation.

4. Reduce input, even briefly

Constant notifications, news, and noise keep the mind in a reactive state. Short breaks from stimulation, even a few minutes at a time, allow space for clarity and rest.

5. Tune into your body

Mindfulness includes physical awareness. Noticing tension, fatigue, or discomfort early can help prevent stress from becoming chronic and support healthier responses over time.

Mindfulness is less about changing who you are and more about becoming aware of how you move through your day. Small moments of attention, practiced consistently, can make a meaningful difference in long-term health and resilience.

Here’s what health and wellness leaders are focusing on as we move into the new year:

1. Preventative and longevity-focused care

More people are shifting from reactive medicine to prevention and long-term healthspan planning. Advanced screening, genetic insights, and diagnostics are being used earlier to detect risk and guide personalised care.

2. Personalized health optimization

Health is becoming tailored. From precision nutrition and metabolic health to bespoke wellness plans, individuals want care that reflects their unique biology, lifestyle and goals.

3. Mental fitness as a daily priority

Mental well-being isn’t an afterthought. Stress management, resilience training, and tools for cognitive health are becoming as central as physical fitness in everyday routines.

4. Digital wellness and tech-enabled health

Wearables, health apps, AI-driven insights, and remote monitoring continue to reshape how people engage with their health data and decisions.

5. Holistic self-care and sustainable health choices

Wellness is expanding beyond individual pursuits to include community, lifestyle balance and eco-conscious choices — from digital detoxing to mindful, slow-tech living.

6. Gut, brain and immune health focus

Consumers are increasingly connecting digestion, cognition and immunity as foundational elements of wellbeing, not just isolated concerns.

The common thread across these trends is clarity and control.

People want meaningful insight into their health, tools to act on that insight, and care that fits their lives.

Running is simple, accessible, and powerful. But how you warm up can make a real difference in how efficiently your body performs and how resilient it stays over time.

Two concepts matter here. 

- Running economy refers to how much energy your body uses at a given running pace.

- Plyometric training uses quick, elastic muscle actions to prepare your muscles and nervous system for movement. 

Research shows that warm-ups including plyometric exercises can improve running economy in healthy adults, meaning you run more efficiently with less wasted effort.

Before your next run, try adding these simple plyometric movements to your warm-up:

• 2 sets of 8 squat jumps
• 2 sets of 8 scissor jumps
• 2 sets of 8 walking single-leg skips, driving the free knee upward

Rest 20–30 seconds between sets.

These movements help activate muscles, improve coordination, and prepare your body for the demands of running without overloading it.

If you’re starting a running routine, returning from injury, or looking to improve performance, our physiotherapists can provide personalized guidance to help you move better and run stronger.

A healthy immune system depends on many factors, including sleep, stress, movement, and nutrition. While whole foods are always the foundation, certain vitamins and minerals play a well-established role in supporting immune function, especially when dietary intake is low.

Here are the top 5 vitamins & minerals in immune health research:

Vitamin D

Vitamin D supports immune cell activity and helps regulate inflammatory responses. Deficiency is common, particularly during winter months or in people with limited sun exposure, and low levels have been associated with increased susceptibility to respiratory infections.

Zinc

Zinc is essential for immune signaling and wound healing. It plays a role in the body’s response to infection, and some evidence suggests early supplementation may help shorten the duration of common cold symptoms when taken at symptom onset.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C supports the function of multiple immune cells and helps protect them from oxidative stress. While it may not prevent illness outright, supplementation has been shown to reduce the duration or severity of symptoms in some individuals.

Glutathione

Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant involved in immune defense and cellular protection. It supports the body’s ability to manage oxidative stress and plays a role in detoxification processes.

Vitamin B complex

Certain B vitamins, particularly B6, are involved in immune cell production and function. Because B vitamins are water-soluble, deficiencies can occur, especially in people with higher stress levels or limited dietary intake.

Supplement needs vary from person to person, and some nutrients can interact with medications or existing conditions. For that reason, immune support should be individualized rather than assumed.

If you have questions about nutrient status or supplementation, speaking with a qualified healthcare professional can help determine what’s appropriate for you.

At Elysian, chiropractic care is about more than short-term relief. It’s about understanding how your body moves, where it’s compensating, and how to restore function in a way that supports long-term health and performance.

Our chiropractors take an evidence-based, personalized approach. Every patient begins with a thorough history, physical examination, and imaging when appropriate, allowing us to arrive at a clear diagnosis before treatment begins. From there, care is tailored to your goals, whether that’s pain relief, recovery from injury, improved mobility, or preventing future issues.

Treatment may include skilled spinal and joint adjustments, soft tissue therapies such as Active Release Technique or Graston, and corrective exercises designed to support strength, stability, and movement. 

We look at the whole system, not just the site of pain, because the body doesn’t work in isolation.

At Elysian Imaging and Diagnostics, HeartFlow Analysis is changing how heart health is assessed.

Using advanced cardiac imaging and functional analysis, this non-invasive approach goes beyond traditional screening to show how blood is flowing through your coronary arteries.

The process begins with a Coronary CT Angiography. HeartFlow uses those images to build a personalized, three-dimensional model of your arteries. This allows physicians to see not only where plaque exists, but whether it is affecting blood flow and posing real risk.

This level of detail helps guide smarter, more personalized treatment decisions. In many cases, it reduces the need for invasive testing while improving diagnostic accuracy and confidence for both patient and physician.

Performed by experienced technologists in a calm, private setting, HeartFlow is designed to give you and your care team the information needed to act early, thoughtfully, and with precision.

Understanding your heart today can shape your health for years to come.

This year brought growth, momentum, and something we’re especially proud of.

In 2025, we took a meaningful step forward by opening our Vancouver location. 

Bringing Elysian’s approach of preventative health to a new city wasn’t just growth for us. It was a responsibility we take seriously.

As the year has come to a close, we’re deeply grateful for the trust our patients place in us and for the quiet, important conversations we get to be part of. Conversations about longevity, presence, and caring for health before urgency forces the issue.

From our team to yours, Happy New Year. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

Mindfulness and meditation have gained attention as supportive tools for managing ADHD symptoms, and for good reason.

Research suggests that mindfulness practices can help improve attention, reduce emotional reactivity, and support self-regulation in both children and adults with ADHD.

While these practices do not replace medical treatment, they can be a valuable complement, especially for managing stress and improving executive functioning.

Mindfulness works by training the brain to notice distractions without immediately reacting to them. Over time, this can improve the ability to pause, redirect focus, and respond more intentionally.

Regular practice has also been linked to reductions in anxiety and impulsivity, which are two challenges commonly associated with ADHD.

Meditation does not have to be long or silent. Techniques like breath awareness, mindful movement, and guided body scans may be more accessible for neurodivergent minds. Even a few minutes of daily practice can begin to create change.

Consistency matters more than perfection. Mindfulness is a skill that can be learned, strengthened, and adapted to fit each person’s needs.
