AT RE:HEALTH, WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT AN INTEGRATIVE AND HOLISTIC APPROACH TO MENTAL HEALTH

Combining the latest science in Nutritional Psychiatry, Functional Medicine, and advanced lab testing to uncover the underlying imbalances contributing to mental health conditions.

Rather than simply managing symptoms, we focus on restoring balance by addressing nutritional, biochemical, hormonal and gut-brain factors that influence mood, focus, and emotional resilience.

WHAT IS NUTRITIONAL PSYCHIATRY?

Nutritional Psychiatry is an evidence-based approach that explores how diet, nutrients, and gut health influence brain function, mood, and behaviour. Research shows that what we eat plays a powerful role in mental health, from neurotransmitter production to inflammation and cognitive performance.

For many years, mental health care has focused mainly on medication. But as our understanding of the gut-brain axis, nutrient metabolism, and the role of inflammation in psychiatric conditions grows, more people are looking beyond medication alone - incorporating targeted nutrition, lifestyle changes, and personalised biochemical testing & support into mental health care.

At Re:Health, we bring together Functional Medicine and Nutritional Psychiatry to create personalised strategies that go beyond symptom management. Our focus is on uncovering underlying drivers and imbalances and supporting long-term resilience and wellbeing.

The Re:Health Approach

BEYOND SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT

We look at mental health through a whole-body lens. Instead of a one-size-fits-all plan, we explore the unique interactions between your biology, lifestyle, and environment to understand what may be driving your symptoms.

By investigating these areas in depth, we create a personalised roadmap designed to restore balance and build long-term resilience.

Key Areas We Explore

NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES

Deficiencies in key vitamins, minerals, amino acids & essential fats are significant contributors to mental health symptoms

NEUROTRANSMITTER BALANCE

Serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and glutamate pathways.

GENETICS

Methylation and nervous system pathways (e. MTHFR, COMT, MAO) - we provide targeted nutritional and lifestyle support based on your unique genetic profile.

GUT-BRAIN AXIS & MICROBIOME HEALTH

Gut microbiome imbalances, leaky gut, SIBO, parasites and  food sensitivities are important drivers of mental health.

HORMONE BALANCE

Cortisol, thyroid, oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone balance.

INFLAMMATION

Chronic low-grade inflammation can affect how the brain communicates, influencing mood, focus, and clarity. 

BLOOD SUGAR & MITOCHONDRIAL HEALTH

Energy regulation, insulin resistance, fatigue, brain fog, and mood swings.

HIDDEN INFECTIONS

Chronic infections such as Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr & stealth infections including periodontal disease triggering neuroinflammation,

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS & DETOXIFICATION

Heavy metals, mycotoxins (from mould), and chemical exposures which disrupt brain chemistry.

Advanced Functional Testing 

PERSONALISED INSIGHTS FOR MENTAL WELLNESS

To move beyond guesswork, we use advanced lab testing to explore areas like genetics, nutrient status, brain chemistry, gut health, and hormones. These insights help us create a tailored plan to support your mental well-being.

Tests we use include:

  • ​Comprehensive Blood Chemistry

  • Genetic Testing 

  • Stool & Gut Microbiome Testing 

  • SIBO testing

  • Organic Acids Test (OAT) 

  • Hormone Testing (e.g. DUTCH) 

  • Kryptopyrroles (Pyroluria) Testing 

  • Amino Acids

  • Food Sensitivities

  • Toxins & CIRS markers

  • Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) 

By combining these results with your health history, we can create a personalised roadmap that looks at the bigger picture of your mental and physical wellbeing.

A Science-Backed Path to Lasting Mental Wellness

If you’ve been struggling with mental health symptoms and feel like conventional approaches haven’t provided the full picture, there is another way. Our Functional Medicine and Nutritional Psychiatry approach empowers you with a clear, personalised strategy for restoring balance—without guesswork.
