WHEN MENTAL HEALTH IS COMPLEX, IT DESERVES A DEEPER LOOK 

At Re:Health, we specialise in Nutritional Psychiatry and Functional Medicine, taking an integrative, personalised approach to mental health.​

Mental health is never just one thing. Nutrition, metabolic health, hormones, inflammation, gut health, sleep, stress and individual biology can all influence brain health and mental wellbeing.

We take time to understand the whole picture – your symptoms, your story, your physical health and what may have been overlooked.

 

Where appropriate, we use advanced clinical and laboratory testing to dig deeper, before creating a highly personalised nutrition and lifestyle strategy.  Our approach is compassionate, collaborative and rooted in science – helping you understand your health and empowering you to take an active role in supporting your mental 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 can build a highly personalised strategy designed to support your mental health and long-term wellbeing.

Key Areas We Explore

NUTRIENT STATUS

The brain has exceptionally high nutritional demands. We explore whether key nutrients needed for energy, cognition and normal nervous-system function may be lacking or suboptimal.

NEUROTRANSMITTER BALANCE

Neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, GABA and glutamate play key roles in mood, motivation, focus and emotional regulation. We explore the nutritional, metabolic and genetic factors involved in their production, breakdown and function.

GENETICS

Your genes can offer valuable clues to your individual biochemistry – from nutrient metabolism and methylation to neurotransmitter and inflammatory pathways – helping us personalise your approach.

GUT-BRAIN CONNECTION

The gut and brain are in constant communication. We explore digestion, the microbiome, intestinal health and gut–immune interactions that may be relevant to your mental and physical wellbeing.

METABOLIC HEALTH & BRAIN ENERGY

The brain needs a constant supply of energy. We look at blood-sugar regulation, insulin sensitivity and metabolic health – increasingly important areas of research in brain and mental health. 

INFLAMMATION & IMMUNE FUNCTION

Chronic low-grade inflammation can affect how the brain communicates, influencing mood, focus and clarity.  We explore whether inflammation or infectious triggers may be relevant to your individual picture. 

HORMONES & THE BRAIN

Changes in sex hormones, thyroid function and the stress-response system can have profound effects on how we feel. We consider hormonal patterns alongside symptoms such as changes in mood, anxiety, sleep, energy and cognition.

ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURES

Our environment can also form part of the picture. Where relevant, we explore mould, mycotoxins, heavy metals and environmental exposures.

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.
