Magnesium: The Foundation of Your Health and Supplements with Dr Sadek.

The first reason why it’s important to optimise the magnesium level in your system is that it’s important to understand that this mineral is one of the elements of the infrastructure of your health. That’s why magnesium is a foundational supplement in other words, there’s no point in taking other supplements if your magnesium level is low. For example, Vitamin D needs a proper level of magnesium to support bone health properly.

Today is International Women’s Day 💖

Women are often told their symptoms are “normal.”
Symptoms such as exhaustion, mood changes, poor sleep or low energy aren’t normal.

Many women are never taught how much hormones influence their overall wellbeing. Brickworks Medical Clinic was founded by a woman (Dr Maura McGill), and our team has a passion for supporting women to better understand their health and hormones.

Today, we’re proud to support women through every stage of life, with personalised care, open conversations, and evidence-based approaches to hormonal health. Because when women understand their bodies, they can make more informed choices about their wellbeing.

Supplement Education Series: Healthy Ageing with AKG (Alpha-Ketoglutarate)🧬

Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG) is a naturally occurring molecule involved in the body’s energy production cycle (the Krebs cycle). As we age, cellular energy efficiency and metabolic signalling can change, and AKG is now being studied for its potential role in supporting these processes.

Emerging research suggests AKG may support:
• Cellular energy metabolism
• Muscle and protein metabolism
• Healthy inflammatory balance
• Gut barrier function
• Epigenetic pathways associated with ageing

Some early human studies have explored its role in biological ageing markers, however research is still developing and long-term data is currently limited.

Always seek personalised medical advice before starting new supplements.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA): Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and More!

Supplement education series with Dr Sadek: Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring molecule, found in every single cell of the body It’s a unique antioxidant and because it’s both water soluble and fat soluble it can potentially provide effective protection against oxidative stress and inflammation to your body cells. We all know that oxidative stress is the root for long list of health issues and it also accelerates aging. According to the scientific evidence ALA also could have some specific therapeutic benefits particularly in the management of peripheral neuropathy including the peripheral neuropathy that happens because of diabetes Alpha lipoic acid mimics the effect of insulin and this means that it can help particularly in the management of insulin resistance potentially and in metabolic regulation The recommended daily dose of alpha lipoic acid is six hundred milligrams every day But as usual before taking any supplement discuss it with your doctor.

ALA is available in clinic. Book an appointment today to see if ALA is a suitable supplement for you.

InVest in your HEALTH and BOOK in for a Vitamin or Mineral IV Infusion.

Support your general health, hydration, energy production and immune system function with a vitamin and mineral infusion.

What Are Vitamin and Mineral Infusions? Vitamin and Mineral Infusions, also known as IV Therapy, are a modern therapy to deliver essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream through an IV (intravenous) drip. This bypasses the digestive system, allowing for increased absorption of key vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support your overall health, immune system function, and energy production.

At Brickworks Medical Clinic on the Gold Coast, all Vitamin and Mineral Infusions are medical-grade, approved by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and are administered by trained healthcare professionals.

Why Choose an IV Vitamin or Mineral Infusion? IV Vitamin and Mineral Infusions therapy delivers hydration and replenishes vitamin and mineral levels, straight into the bloodstream, for optimal absorption and bioavailability.

Urolithin A (UA) is a bioactive molecule produced by the gut microbiome from natural plant compounds found in foods such as pomegranates, walnuts, berries, and some other nuts.

After these foods are consumed, specific gut bacteria can convert ellagitannins and ellagic acid into Urolithin A. Not everyone produces this molecule efficiently, as the conversion process depends on individual gut microbiome composition and may change with age.

Current research continues to explore how Urolithin A supports normal cellular processes, including mitochondrial function and cellular renewal pathways. For this reason, it has gained interest within integrative and longevity-focused care as part of a broader, preventative approach to health.
