Brain & Cognitive Health
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE IS A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT APPROACH TO CHRONIC DISEASE AND MYSTERY ILLNESS.
At Re:Health, we take an integrative and science-driven approach to cognitive health, helping you uncover the underlying causes of memory loss, brain fog, and cognitive decline. Whether you are experiencing age-related cognitive changes, early signs of Alzheimer’s, or difficulty with focus and mental clarity, we go beyond symptom management to optimise brain function, neuroplasticity, and long-term brain resilience.
Using Functional Medicine and cutting-edge lab testing, we assess key factors such as inflammation, insulin resistance, hormones, mitochondrial health, nutrient deficiencies, toxin exposure, hidden infections and vascular function, all of which are critical for cognitive performance and memory preservation.
The Re:Health Approach
BEYOND SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT
Cognitive decline and memory impairment are not inevitable parts of ageing—they are often the result of multiple underlying imbalances. Issues such as chronic inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, mitochondrial deficits, and poor detoxification can lead to brain fog, slowed thinking, forgetfulness, and progressive cognitive deterioration.
By addressing these root causes, we help you create a clear, proactive strategy to support brain health and protect cognition for the long term.
Key Areas We Assess & Support
NEUROINFLAMMATION & OXIDATIVE STRESS
Chronic inflammation is a major driver of memory loss and neurodegeneration. We assess markers of neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and cellular damage, all of which can contribute to cognitive impairment
MITOCHONDRIAL ENERGY & BRAIN FUNCTION
The brain is highly energy-dependent. Impaired mitochondrial function leads to slowed thinking, brain fog, and memory lapses. Supporting mitochondrial efficiency is key for cognitive longevity
NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES & BRAIN HEALTH
The brain requires specific nutrients for optimal function. We assess and correct these as needed
ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS
The brain is particularly vulnerable to toxins such as mercury, aluminium, pesticides, and mycotoxins from mould. Impaired detox pathways can lead to accumulated neurotoxins that contribute to cognitive decline
GLYMPHATIC DRAINAGE & BRAIN DETOX
The brain has its own detoxification system, called the glymphatic system, which clears waste products during deep sleep. Poor sleep, chronic stress, and inflammation can impair this process, allowing amyloid plaques and toxins to accumulate
BLOOD SUGAR & INSULIN RESISTANCE
The brain is highly sensitive to blood sugar fluctuations and insulin resistance. Dysregulated blood sugar levels can accelerate brain atrophy and cognitive impairment, sometimes referred to as ‘Type 3 Diabetes’ due to its link with Alzheimer’s disease
CEREBROVASCULAR HEALTH & CIRCULATION
Oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain is essential for cognitive function. We assess vascular health, homocysteine levels, and endothelial function to ensure optimal blood flow to the brain
HORMONAL INFLUENCE ON COGNITIVE FUNCTION
Hormones such as thyroid hormones, oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol play a significant role in cognitive clarity and memory function. Low hormone levels, particularly post-menopause, can contribute to brain fog and cognitive impairment
GENETIC RISK
We assess APOE genetic status, as well as other genes that can influence risk for neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's disease to create a proactive prevention plan for brain health
LONG COVID & COGNITIVE ISSUES
Many people experience brain fog, memory issues, and difficulty concentrating after viral infections, including COVID-19. We assess post-viral inflammation, immune activation, and mitochondrial dysfunction that may be impacting cognitive function
Advanced Functional Testing for Brain & Cognitive Health
To move beyond guesswork, we use comprehensive lab testing to assess brain inflammation, detox pathways, mitochondrial energy, and metabolic function. Read more about lab testing here
YOUR PERSONALISED BRAIN HEALTH PLAN
Using data-driven insights, we create a tailored programme designed to optimise brain function, improve memory, and promote long-term cognitive resilience. This may include:
Precision Nutrition Strategies – A personalised diet plan to support brain function, mitochondrial health, and neuroprotection.
Targeted Supplementation – Evidence-based nutrients, botanicals, and mitochondrial support for cognitive function.
Brain Detox & Sleep Optimisation – Strategies to enhance glymphatic drainage, detoxification, and neuroprotection.
Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustments – Regular check-ins to track progress and refine your plan.
A Science-Backed Approach to Protecting Your Brain
Whether you're experiencing brain fog, memory loss, or early cognitive changes, or simply want to future-proof your brain, our Functional Medicine approach provides a clear, personalised strategy for long-term cognitive resilience.
