About me
I'm Ruth Etches, founder of RE:Health Clinic, a specialist brain and mental health clinic dedicated to uncovering the root causes of cognitive, neurological, and mood disorders.
At RE:Health Clinic, we are a collaborative team of Nutritional Therapists and Functional Medicine Practitioners, specialising in brain health, mental wellbeing, and the gut-brain connection. Our diverse expertise allows us to take a comprehensive, whole-person approach, integrating functional medicine, nutritional psychiatry, and neuroinflammation expertise. We support children, teens, and adults with:
- Neurodivergence & neurodevelopmental differences
- Mental health disorders
- Cognitive challenges – Brain fog, memory concerns, neurodegeneration
- Hormonal cognitive changes & mood disturbances
- Neuroinflammation & environmental illness – CIRS, mould toxicity, Long COVID
- Gut-brain imbalances & digestive disturbances
We take an investigative approach, using advanced testing and functional medicine strategies to uncover the biochemical, genetic, and environmental factors impacting brain and whole-body health.
Our Approach:
We work closely with our clients to connect the dots, helping them understand the why behind their symptoms. Through detailed case-taking and lab testing, we create personalised, actionable plans to address imbalances, support brain function, and restore overall wellbeing. Our approach is rooted in:
✔ Functional medicine & nutritional psychiatry – Science-backed, holistic strategies
✔ Targeted nutritional interventions & supplements – Based on individual needs
✔ Collaborative care – Working as a team to empower clients with knowledge and a clear recovery roadmap
At RE:Health, we understand first-hand the frustration of searching for answers—being told “everything is fine” when it isn’t, or receiving a diagnosis without meaningful support. Our own experiences within conventional medicine have deepened our commitment to helping others reclaim control of their health through a functional, root-cause approach.

Further information
Here's a selection of client feedback:
"I have suffered with ME for 15 years with symptoms including overwhelming fatigue, muscle aches, loss of appetite and a general feeling of unwell. Over this time I have tried countless treatments but none made any significant impact on my symptoms. Ruth reassured me by explaining why functional medicine is so different from other approaches. After taking a comprehensive medical history she prescribed a wide range of supplements and dietary changes to follow. After just 8 weeks my health has already changed for the better. The relentless fatigue caused by my ME has significantly improved and I have a general sense of well-being that I haven’t felt in years. I wish I had found Ruth and functional medicine years ago." - Sally Pearce
"Ruth's willingness to integrate the numerous needs which I took to the consultation was evident in the extremely detailed plan she presented me with. She researched to such a degree that she found the cause of one of my ailments, which other most admirable colleagues hadn't been able to. It was so reassuring to finally know the cause of it and to know that the same commitment, she had demonstrated in discovering it, would be reflected in her treatment plan for it. Her follow up and support of me in implementing the plan she created for me, have been meticulous. It is very motivating to work with such a dedicated Health Practitioner. Thank you indeed, Ruth" - Cristina Donaldson
"Ruth's vast knowledge and experience, along with her warmth, compassion, and commitment helped me and my family to make the changes we needed. Many thanks to you, Ruth!" - Joanne Chadwick
"By following Ruth’s honest and simple guidance I feel that both my body and my mind are in a much better and healthier place. As a qualified Nutritionist and Functional Medicine Practitioner, Ruth presents her subject in a relaxing and understanding way that makes you immediately feel at ease knowing that you are in very capable hands. I highly recommend Ruth if you wish to find your “get up and go” to live your life to the fullest. Your body will love you for it!" - Karen Wheeley
