CHRONIC & COMPLEX HEALTH – A ROOT-CAUSE APPROACH

Doctor woman

At Re:Health, we specialise in supporting people with chronic, complex, and multi-system health conditions, helping to uncover the root causes of persistent symptoms that often go unexplained or overlooked. 

​

Conditions like autoimmune diseases, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS), chronic infections, and environmental illness can be deeply frustrating, exhausting, and life-altering. Many of our clients have seen multiple practitioners, tried countless treatments, and still feel like they are searching for answers.

​

​We take a whole-body, investigative approach, using advanced lab testing, personalised nutrition, and functional medicine strategies to piece together the puzzle—so you can move toward lasting relief and a better quality of life.

The Re:Health Approach

BEYOND SYSTEM MANAGEMENT

Complex conditions rarely have a single cause or simple solution. They often stem from immune dysregulation, chronic inflammation, gut imbalances, environmental exposures, or stealth infections that trigger a cascade of dysfunction throughout the body.

​

Rather than suppressing symptoms, we take a systems-based approach, identifying the underlying imbalances driving chronic illness and creating a targeted, personalised plan to help your body recover and rebalance.

Key Areas We Assess & Support

AUTOIMMUNE CONDITIONS & IMMUNE DYSREGULATION

Autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are often driven by chronic inflammation, gut dysfunction, and immune system overactivation. We assess immune triggers, gut permeability, and inflammatory pathways to help bring balance.

CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE SYNDROME (CIRS) & MOULD ILLNESS

Chronic exposure to mould, biotoxins, and other environmental toxins can lead to persistent inflammation, neurological symptoms, extreme fatigue, brain fog, and immune dysregulation. We take a Shoemaker Protocol-informed approach, assessing genetic susceptibility, immune markers, and detox pathways to support recovery.

MAST CELL ACTIVATION SYNDROME (MCAS) & HISTAMINE INTOLERANCE 

Mast cells play a crucial role in immune defence, but in MCAS, they become overactive—leading to unpredictable reactions, inflammation, hives, flushing, headaches, fatigue, and neurological symptoms. We investigate histamine metabolism, triggers, and stabilisation strategies.

CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME (CFS) & MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION

CFS is more than just fatigue—it’s a condition deeply tied to mitochondrial dysfunction, immune dysregulation, viral reactivation, and post-exertional malaise. We explore cellular energy production, oxidative stress, and viral/inflammatory drivers to support recovery.

CHRONIC INFECTIONS & STEALTH PATHOGENS 

Viruses (EBV, CMV, herpesviruses), Lyme disease, co-infections, mycotoxins, and intracellular bacteria can persist for years, driving immune dysfunction, neurological symptoms, and fatigue. We assess immune function, pathogen load, and inflammatory markers to address underlying infections and use micro-immunotherapy to gently restore balance.

TOXICITY, HEAVY METALS & DETOXIFICATION PATHWAYS 

The body’s detox pathways play a crucial role in eliminating toxins, chemicals, and environmental pollutants that may contribute to neuroinflammation, fatigue, and immune dysfunction. We investigate liver function, phase 1 & 2 detoxification, and heavy metal burden.

GUT HEALTH & MICROBIOME IMBALANCES 

The gut is at the centre of immune function, and conditions like leaky gut, dysbiosis, SIBO, and fungal overgrowth can drive autoimmune activation, systemic inflammation, and nutrient malabsorption.

MITOCHONDRIAL HEALTH & ENERGY PRODUCTION 

The cells’ energy factories (mitochondria) are often impaired in CFS, autoimmune conditions, and environmental illness, contributing to fatigue, brain fog, and muscle weakness. We focus on optimising mitochondrial function, oxidative stress defence, and energy metabolism.

HORMONAL IMBALANCES & STRESS RESPONSE 

Chronic illness often disrupts the HPA axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system), leading to cortisol imbalances that drive fatigue, brain fog, and immune dysregulation. We assess adrenal function, sex hormones, and thyroid balance.

How can we help you

CIRS & Mould

Illness

Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), often referred to as mould illness, is a complex, multi-system condition triggered by prolonged exposure to biotoxins

Mast Cell Activation

Syndrome

A chronic condition in which mast cells, a type of immune cell, become overactive and release excessive amounts of inflammatory chemicals.

Chronic Fatigue

Syndrome & ME

Known also as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), is a complex and debilitating condition characterised by profound fatigue that does not improve with rest

Long Covid

Support

Long COVID refers to persistent symptoms that continue for weeks or months after the acute phase of a COVID-19 infection.

​

Autoimmunity

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the protective covering of nerve fibres

​

Chronic

Infections

Occur when the body is unable to fully eliminate pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, leading to ongoing immune activation and inflammation

Advanced Functional Testing for Complex conditions

We use comprehensive lab testing to move beyond guesswork and identify the root causes of chronic and complex conditions. Read more about lab testing here 

YOUR PERSONALISED COMPLEX CONDITION PLAN

Using data-driven insights, we create a targeted, step-by-step plan to support immune regulation, mitochondrial function, detoxification, and systemic balance. This may include:

​

Precision Nutrition Strategies – A tailored approach to reduce inflammation, stabilise immune function, and optimise detox pathways.

Targeted Nutritional & Botanical Support – Using evidence-based supplements, mitochondrial cofactors, and anti-inflammatory support.

Nervous System & Stress Resilience – Supporting vagus nerve function, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed approaches to healing.

Ongoing Monitoring & Refinements – Regular check-ins to track progress and adjust your personalised plan.

A Science-Backed Approach to Complex, Chronic Illness

If you’ve been living with persistent symptoms, unexplained fatigue, immune dysfunction, or environmental illness, our Functional Medicine approach provides a clear roadmap toward healing—even when other approaches have fallen short.
