Neurodivergent Conditions
SUPPORTING NEURODIVERGENT CONDITIONS WITH A ROOT-CAUSE APPROACH
At Re:Health, we take a holistic and personalised approach to supporting ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent conditions—with or without a formal diagnosis. Rather than viewing neurodivergence as simply a neurological difference, we explore the biochemical, nutritional, and environmental factors that may be contributing to attention difficulties, sensory sensitivities, emotional dysregulation, learning challenges, and behavioural symptoms.
​
​Using Functional Medicine and advanced lab testing, we assess the gut-brain axis, neurotransmitter balance, inflammation, nutrient status, and detoxification pathways—offering evidence-based, practical strategies to help individuals thrive.
The Re:Health Approach
UNDERSTANDING THE WHOLE PICTURE
Every neurodivergent person is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. While mainstream approaches often focus solely on medication and behavioural therapy, we take a whole-body perspective, asking:
​
What factors may be amplifying challenges?
What does this individual need to feel their best and thrive in a way that works for them?
​Could gut health, food sensitivities, inflammation, or environmental toxins be playing a role?
Key Areas We Assess & Support
NEUROTRANSMITTER BALANCE & BRAIN CHEMISTRY
ADHD and autism often involve imbalances in dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, and GABA. These neurotransmitters influence attention, focus, mood, and impulse control. We assess the biochemical pathways involved and support optimal neurotransmitter function through targeted nutrition and co-factor support.
NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES & BRAIN FUNCTION
The brain requires specific nutrients to regulate focus, mood, and cognition. We assess and support as needed.
GUT-BRAIN AXIS & DIGESTIVE HEALTH
The gut and brain are deeply connected, and gut dysfunction is common in neurodivergent individuals. Issues such as dysbiosis, leaky gut, SIBO, and food sensitivities can contribute to mood swings, irritability, brain fog, and focus issues.
BLOOD SUGAR & ENERGY REGULATION
Fluctuating blood sugar can worsen hyperactivity, mood instability, and brain fog. We assess insulin sensitivity, metabolic function, and mitochondrial health to support stable energy and focus
INFLAMMATION & IMMUNE ACTIVATION
Chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction can affect brain function and behaviour. We assess for systemic inflammation, mast cell activation, and immune dysregulation (including PANS/PANDAS in children), all of which can contribute to neuroinflammation and behavioural changes.
METHYLATION & DETOXIFICATION PATHWAYS
Genetic variations (such as MTHFR, COMT, and MAO) can impact neurotransmitter metabolism, detoxification, and brain chemistry. Supporting methylation can help with focus, emotional regulation, and cognitive function.
ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS & HEAVY METALS
Exposure to toxins such as lead, mercury, pesticides, and mycotoxins from mould can impact brain function, attention, and emotional regulation. We assess detox capacity and toxin burden to reduce neurological stress.
SENSORY PROCESSING & NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) and vagus nerveplay a critical role in sensory processing, emotional regulation, and resilience to stress. Supporting vagal tone, nervous system balance, and stress response can help improve self-regulation and executive function.
How can we help you
Autism Spectrum Disorder
(ASD)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects social communication, behaviour, and sensory processing.
Behavioural Challenges
​
Behavioural challenges can present in both children and adults, affecting social interactions, emotional regulation, and daily functioning.
Attention Deficit /Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
A neurodevelopmental condition characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning.
PANS &
PANDAS
Autoimmunity and neuroinflammation are conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, leading to inflammation in the nervous system.
Learning & Developmental Delay
Learning and developmental delays occur when a child does not reach cognitive, social, or physical milestones at the expected age.
Advanced Functional Testing for Neurodivergent Conditions
We use comprehensive lab testing to move beyond guesswork and uncover biochemical imbalances, gut dysfunction, and metabolic stressors affecting brain function. Read more about lab testing here
YOUR NEURODIVERGENT SUPPORT PLAN
Using data-driven insights, we create a tailored programme to support cognitive function, focus, emotional regulation, and resilience. This may include:
​
Precision Nutrition Strategies – Personalised dietary recommendations to stabilise blood sugar, mood, and brain function.
Targeted Nutritional & Botanical Support – Evidence-based nutrients, amino acids, and co-factors for neurotransmitter balance.
Nervous System & Lifestyle Support – Sleep optimisation, sensory regulation, and nervous system resilience strategies.
Ongoing Monitoring & Refinements – Regular check-ins to track progress and fine-tune your plan.
