Mental & Emotional Health: The Biochemistry of Mood
You aren't "broken"—your chemistry might just be out of balance.
Mental health is often treated as something purely psychological, but your brain is a physical organ. It requires specific minerals, a healthy gut, and balanced hormones to produce the neurotransmitters (like Serotonin and Dopamine) that allow you to feel calm, happy, and motivated.
We provide support for:
- Anxiety & Panic: That "racing heart" feeling or persistent, intrusive worry.
- Depression & Low Drive: Feeling "flat," unmotivated, or hopeless.
- Emotional Volatility: Rapid mood swings, irritability, or "meltdowns."
- Burnout: Feeling "wired but tired," where you are exhausted but can't switch off.
- Sleep Issues: Insomnia or waking up feeling unrefreshed.
The Root Causes of Emotional Distress
We look beyond the symptoms to find the biological "glitches" that affect your mood:
- The Gut-Brain Axis: 90% of your serotonin is made in your gut. If your gut is inflamed or has dysbiosis, your mood will suffer.
- Mineral Burnout: High stress "burns" through Magnesium and Zinc, which are essential for keeping the nervous system calm.
- Hormonal Mood Triggers: Shifts in Oestrogen, Progesterone, and Cortisol can mimic or worsen anxiety and depression.
- Neuro-Inflammation: "Brain fog" and low mood are often caused by systemic inflammation from mold, toxins, or hidden infections.
Our Mental Health "Investigation" Toolkit
To help you feel like yourself again, we need to see what’s happening under the hood:
- Genetic Testing: We look at markers like MTHFR and COMT to see how your body creates and breaks down neurotransmitters. This is a game-changer for understanding why certain people feel "anxious" by nature.
- HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis): This reveals your "Stress Pattern." It shows if your adrenal glands are exhausted and if you have heavy metals (like Copper or Lead) that can drive anxiety and irritability.
- EndoMap: We map your Cortisol rhythm. If your stress hormones are peaking at the wrong time, you will feel anxious at night and exhausted in the morning.
- GI Mapping: We check for the specific gut bacteria that produce "calming" vs. "agitating" metabolites.
A Holistic Approach to Emotional Resilience
We combine modern testing with traditional wisdom to stabilize your mood:
- Neuro-Nutrient Therapy: Giving your brain the raw building blocks it needs to make happy chemicals.
- Handcrafted Herbal Medicine: Using "Nervines" and "Adaptogens" to soothe the nervous system and build stress resilience.
- Gut-Brain Repair: Healing the digestive system to support neurotransmitter production.
- Vagus Nerve Support: Techniques to flip your body from "Fight or Flight" into "Rest and Digest."
