Why are Omega-3s so important?

❤️ Heart health - Way back in the early 1970s, two scientists, Bang & Dyerberg, noticed that despite eating a high fat diet, Greenland Eskimos had excellent cardiovascular health. They soon realised that the type of fat they were eating was very different to that normally found in a typical Western diet. They ate large quantities of oily fish and cold water marine animals, packed full of omega-3 fats. Omega-3s are now recommended for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease.

🧠 Brain – Omega-3s are essential for the structure and function of the brain. They are needed at every stage of life, from conception and throughout pregnancy to support a growing baby’s brain, through childhood for learning and development, for balanced mood at any age and right through into older age to preserve cognitive function and protect the brain against life stresses.

🦵 Joints, pain & inflammation - Multiple studies have found benefit in using omega-3-rich fish oil to support improved joint health, reduce pain, support immune balance and calm inflammation.

👁️ Eye health - Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, are essential for maintaining the structure and function of the retina, supporting clear vision and protecting against conditions like dry eye.

😊 Mood Regulation – Omega-3s, especially EPA, play a key role in brain signalling and reducing inflammation, which can help regulate mood and lower the risk of depression and anxiety.

With the growing popularity of GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® as tools for weight management and metabolic health, more people are beginning their journey on these medications. But what many don’t realise is that safely and effectively using—and eventually weaning off—GLP-1 medications requires more than a script. That’s where a practitioner who has a special interest in GLP-1 support can make a world of difference.

If you're using GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic®, work with specialist practitioners who can support your weight reduction journey.

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you. We are moving to Kenmore! From the establishment of our Brisbane CBD clinic almost 17 years ago to the opening of our Graceville location 10 years ago, and the addition of online consultations 5 years ago, we've always strived to grow with the needs of our patients. It’s now time for another exciting chapter!

We have outgrown our current space in Graceville, and from 7th July 2025, we will be relocating to our new clinic in Kenmore.

Our new address will be: Suite 3, 18 Brookfield Road, Kenmore.

We are excited to welcome you to our new, larger clinic where the same friendly faces will greet you. Rest assured, we will continue to provide the same high standard of care across all our locations: Kenmore, the CBD, and through our online consultations. Our team of highly qualified and experienced practitioners will be there to guide you on your journey to better health.

Many Aussie men are reluctant to check in with healthcare practitioners for screening tests, even when they have a nagging health issue that they know should be checked out. But it’s not just when an issue already exists that guys should be being more proactive with their health. It’s just as important to consider preventative healthcare and to try and identify early signs of chronic health issues before they develop into major concerns. What you may not realise is that there are a range of general and functional pathology men’s health tests that can be conducted without the need to see a GP or other healthcare professional.

Men's health checks are often delayed for a whole host of reasons but a health check up can be done for a range of issues with no consult.
