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

Image by Kelly Sikkema

Combining the latest science in Nutritional Psychiatry, Functional Medicine, and advanced lab testing to uncover the underlying imbalances contributing to anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions.

​

Rather than simply managing symptoms, we focus on restoring balance in brain chemistry 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. While this is still a developing field, research has shown that what we eat plays a crucial role in mental health, impacting everything from neurotransmitter production to inflammation and cognitive function.

​

Traditionally, medication has been the first line of treatment in mental health care. However, as our understanding of the gut-brain axis, nutrient metabolism, and the role of inflammation in psychiatric conditions grows, more clinicians and individuals are looking beyond medication alone—incorporating targeted nutrition, lifestyle changes, and personalised biochemical support into mental health care.

​

​At Re:Health, we integrate Functional Medicine and Nutritional Psychiatry to develop personalised strategies that go beyond symptom management—addressing the root causes of mental health imbalances for long-term, sustainable improvements.

The Re:Health Approach

BEYOND SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT

Mental health is deeply interconnected with multiple systems in the body, including the gut, immune system, hormones, and mitochondria (your cells’ energy producers). Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we take a comprehensive deep dive into your health history, lifestyle, and biochemistry to understand what’s driving your symptoms.

​

​By investigating key areas of imbalance, we help you identify root causes and create a personalised roadmap to mental wellness.

Key Areas We Assess & Support

NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES

Nutrients play a critical role in brain function, mood regulation, and cognitive health. Deficiencies in key vitamins, minerals, and amino acids are significant contributors to mental health symptoms

NEUROTRANSMITTER BALANCE

We assess serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and glutamate pathways to determine whether deficiencies or imbalances may be contributing to low mood, anxiety, or focus issues.

NUTRIGENOMICS

Genetic factors such as MTHFR, COMT, and MAO variations can influence neurotransmitter metabolism, detoxification, and mental health. We assess methylation pathways and nervous system pathways and provide targeted nutritional and lifestyle support based on your unique genetic profile.

GUT-BRAIN AXIS & MICROBIOME HEALTH

The gut plays a major role in mental health, producing neurotransmitters and regulating inflammation. Dysbiosis, SIBO, leaky gut, or food sensitivities can contribute to anxiety, depression, and cognitive symptoms

HORMONES BALANCE

Cortisol, thyroid hormones, oestrogen, progesterone, and testosteroneall impact mental well-being. Hormonal shifts, chronic stress, or adrenal dysfunction can lead to mood instability, anxiety, and fatigue.

INFLAMMATION & IMMUNE DYSFUNCTION

Chronic inflammation, autoimmunity, and environmental factors (such as mould exposure or infections like PANS/PANDAS in children) can affect brain function and mental clarity

BLOOD SUGAR & MITOCHONDRIAL HEALTH

Fluctuating blood sugar, insulin resistance, and mitochondrial dysfunction can contribute to brain fog, fatigue, and mood swings

HIDDEN INFECTIONS

Chronic infections such as Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), mycotoxins, and stealth infections can trigger neuroinflammation, contributing to persistent mental health symptoms

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS & DETOXIFICATION

Heavy metals, mycotoxins (from mould), and chemical exposures can disrupt brain chemistry. We assess detox pathways and provide targeted support

How can we help you

Depression &

Low Mood

Depression is a complex condition that goes beyond feeling sad or low. It involves persistent changes in mood, energy, and motivation that can interfere with daily life and well-being.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition characterised by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental acts (compulsions) performed to alleviate distress.

Anxiety & Panic Disorders

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but for some, it becomes overwhelming and persistent, interfering with daily life and well-being.

 

Burnout & Chronic Stress

Chronic stress is prolonged emotional, mental, and physical strain that depletes resilience. When unmanaged, it can lead to burnout—deep fatigue, detachment, and reduced productivity.

Bipolar

Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder characterised by alternating episodes of emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression).

Advanced Functional Testing 

FOR A PERSONALISED APPROACH

To move beyond guesswork, we use comprehensive lab testing to assess genetics, brain chemistry, gut health, nutrient levels, and more. 

YOUR PERSONALISED MENTAL WELLNESS PLAN

Using data-driven insights, we create a tailored programme designed to rebalance brain chemistry and support long-term mental well-being. This may include:

​

Precision Nutrition Strategies – Personalised dietary recommendations to stabilise mood, energy, and cognition.
Targeted Nutritional & Botanical Support – Evidence-based supplements to address deficiencies and biochemical imbalances.
Nervous System & Lifestyle Support – Sleep optimisation, stress resilience techniques, nervous system support and lifestyle shifts for sustainable change.
Ongoing Monitoring & Refinements – Regular check-ins to assess progress and fine-tune your plan.

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.
