Eucrasia Programmes

Our research approach and data tools have involved scientific exchanges and collaborations with:

Τhe Biochemistry Department at the Medical faculty of the University of Aristotle by Prof. Nikos Papanikolaou,

The Nutritional Department at the Dietetics faculty of the International Hellenic University by Prof. Despina Komninou and

The Analytical Chemistry Dep. At the Medical faculty of the University of Aristotle by Prof. George Theodoridis.

The following types of examinations, where medically indicated, are arranged and medically assessed by I our partner MON MED and performed by appropriately licensed providers and laboratories:

HORMONAL – BIOCHEMICAL BLOOD TESTING (where clinically indicated and performed by a duly authorized laboratory).

A SPECIFIC-COLLECTION KIT, where indicated and supplied under the responsibility of our partner IMON MED and the relevant laboratory, may be sent before the arrival of participants and may include samples for:

• METABOLOMIC ANALYSIS of organic acids using a urine sample.
• GENETIC SALIVA ANALYSIS of selected variants, where clinically appropriate and with the required safeguards.
• ASSESSMENT OF SELECTED ADIPOSE-RELATED MARKERS AND CYTOKINES using appropriate samples, if clinically indicated.
• METABOLOMICS ANALYSIS of amino acids using a urine sample.
• METABOLOMICS ANALYSIS of fatty acids using a blood sample.
• GUT MICROBIOTA ANALYSIS using a stool sample, where appropriate.

ERGOPHYSIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT, where appropriate, of the RQ index, fuel use under different respiratory conditions, energy metabolic rates, etc., by suitably qualified professionals.

GLUTATHIONE MEASUREMENT, where clinically indicated, and evidence-based assessment of relevant nutritional considerations.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT, if required, by a duly licensed psychologist; any medical or psychiatric diagnosis is made by an appropriately qualified physician through our partner IMON MED.

MUSCULOSKELETAL ASSESSMENT of muscles, joints and fascia by the appropriately licensed healthcare professional; medical diagnosis, where required, is undertaken by our partner IMON MED.

The Mediterranean Diet is widely acknowledged as a well-studied dietary pattern worldwide. With its variety of foods associated with antioxidant compounds, dietary fibres and nutritious macronutrients, it can contribute to a balanced diet and long-term wellbeing.

Our partner OMOIOSTASIS S.A. and its dietetic team draw on the parameters that make the Mediterranean Diet dynamic and multifactorial. With the aim of supporting balanced food choices and individual nutritional needs, the team uses the Isoglycemic Nutritional Model. The model focuses on dietary patterns associated with metabolic wellbeing.

In collaboration with specialized scientific partners of OMOIOSTASIS S.A. and IMON MED, a range of natural Greek biofunctional products has been developed. These products are incorporated into the EUCRASIA nutritional programme, where appropriate, to complement the Mediterranean Diet and enhance its nutritional variety and value. Their integration into individualized dietary plans is guided by the qualified dietitians of OMOIOSTASIS S.A., while any required medical assessment is carried out by IMON MED.

The dishes offered with our menus preserve the rich flavors of local tradition, enriched with carefully selected culinary combinations in order to offer balanced nutritional value and highlight the role of food in general health and wellbeing.

This nutritional model may be applied by collaborating dietetic professionals and centres, within their authorized scope. Individual medical conditions are evaluated and managed by our partner IMON MED where medical input is required.

We are committed to delivering integrated wellness experiences, and providing guidance and inspiration to allow our guests to gain a new perspective and make positive lifestyle changes. Our local sensibility is evident in the products we choose, the wellness experiences we design and the sustainable practices we implement. This approach enables us to maintain a closer relationship with nature and the surrounding world.

We respect the individuality of our guests and craft experiences to stimulate, energize and refresh. Our global relationships with appropriately qualified and, where required, licensed practitioners, wellness leaders and experts allow us to go beyond traditional service provision and combine high tech and high touch approaches which blend the old and the new. We offer our guests the tools to pursue a better quality of life.

Our members may experience greater mobility and awareness of body posture. They may feel more relaxed and active – experiences that can support their daily life.

Present-day man is ultimately an athlete who is fighting against time and the drive for success, surpassing himself on a daily basis as current situations demand. Both physical inactivity and overexertion can negatively affect comfort and movement. Prolonged strain, poor posture and insufficient rest may contribute to muscular stiffness. Balanced nutrition, appropriate exercise and, where indicated, professional assessment can support physical wellbeing.

With carefully applied manual techniques, when clinically appropriate and provided by suitably qualified professionals, attention may be directed to soft-tissue comfort, movement patterns and postural habits.

Appropriate stretching and movement techniques may assist mobility and postural awareness. Depending on individual circumstances, participants may experience greater comfort and relaxation.

Physical rehabilitation may be relevant to people with musculoskeletal difficulties only following assessment by the competent licensed healthcare professional. Rehabilitation following surgery or trauma, and any diagnosis or medical treatment, is provided under the responsibility of IMON MED and/or the appropriately authorized treating professionals, each within their legal competence.

The relevant professional interventions are implemented by appropriately qualified and licensed physiotherapists or other authorized healthcare professionals, as applicable. All medical examinations, diagnoses, treatment decisions and medical acts are performed exclusively by our partner IMON MED through its lawfully authorized medical professionals.

Aerobic exercise and functional exercise are widely recognized as important components of a healthy lifestyle and metabolic wellbeing. With aerobic exercise, participants may support cardiovascular fitness and metabolic health, whereas the neuromuscular system and musculoskeletal function can be supported with functional exercise.

Swiss balls, heart-rate monitors, suspension belts (such as TRX), movement-based activities inspired by martial arts and wellness techniques (such as TAI CHI and YOGA), water or ground exercises and many more constitute the tools for appropriately qualified trainers and, where physiotherapy is involved, licensed physiotherapists.

The Eucrasia programmes may be informed by published research in the fields of Nutrigenetics, Ergophysiology, Clinical Biochemistry and Exercise Biochemistry, Toxicology, Preventive Medicine, Neuropsychology and Psychosomatics, Cellular Genetics and relevant medical sciences. Any individual clinical screening, diagnostic investigation or medical interpretation, if indicated, is carried out exclusively by our partner IMON MED through authorized medical professionals.
