Dr. Michael Fortunato, M.D., board-certified physician and founder of Optimize MD (OMD), has spent decades helping individuals explore precision health and hormone optimization. His work combines scientific rigor with practical wellness strategies, guiding people to reclaim energy, clarity, and resilience. Now, his expertise is paired with Elyxar, a premium superfood and nutraceutical brand co-founded with Chef Gregg Fortunato, designed to support metabolic function, recovery, and overall vitality.
Science Meets Nature: The Elyxar Philosophy
Elyxar is positioned as more than a supplement it is a philosophy of clean, purposeful nutrition. Each ingredient is carefully selected for its bioavailability and potential to support bodily systems naturally. Dr. Fortunato explains:
“As a physician, I saw too many patients trying to fix their health with supplements that were more marketing than medicine low-dosage, full of fillers, and synthetic additives that don’t deliver. Real results come from real nutrition. That’s why with Elyxar, every ingredient has a purpose, every dose is effective, and nothing is hidden. We combined proven science with nature’s most powerful foods to create a formula that works in harmony with your body not against it.”
Chef Gregg Fortunato adds a culinary perspective, emphasizing taste, quality, and accessibility:
“When I’m in the kitchen, every ingredient matters. I’d never add anything fake, artificial, or unnecessary because that’s not real food. And I believe supplements should hold the same standard. With Elyxar, we set out to create something different something you’d actually look forward to drinking. Every ingredient is clean, natural, and carefully chosen to fuel your body without compromise. It’s the standard I hold in my kitchen, now in your daily ritual.”

metabolic, and hormonal.
The Holistic Philosophy Behind Elyxar
