Personalised support for Depression & Low Mood

Depression and persistent low mood can leave you feeling flat, depleted, and alone—often affecting every part of life. For women in midlife, hormonal changes, life stresses, and years of coping can make depression more complex and isolating. At Urban Wellness, we offer compassionate, root-cause support to help you rediscover hope, vitality, and a sense of you.

Our root-cause approach doesn’t just mask symptoms. We work together to uncover and address deeper factors driving depression, including:

Hormonal imbalances (peri/menopause, thyroid, PMS/PMDD)
Nutrient deficiencies (omega-3, vitamin D, B vitamins, magnesium)
Inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune shifts
Gut health and microbiome imbalances
Chronic stress and nervous system exhaustion
Medication interactions and nutrient depletion
Emotional patterns, trauma, loneliness or unmet needs
Sleep and circadian rhythm disruption

With this whole-person picture, we create a science-based plan for:

More stable, uplifted mood
Restorative sleep and better energy
Enhanced resilience to stress
Improved cognitive clarity
Reigniting passion for life and relationships

Is There a Link Between Bile Acids, the Microbiome, and Mental Health?

We often think of bile as simply a digestive fluid, something that helps break down fats after a meal. But emerging research is revealing a much broader role. Bile acids are not just digestive helpers; they are powerful signalling molecules that interact with the gut microbiome, influence inflammation, and may even shape brain function.

How Bile Flow Influences Your Gut Microbiome and Health

When we think about digestion, bile often flies under the radar. But this little digestive fluid plays a massive role in breaking down fats, removing toxins, and even shaping the health of your gut microbiome, espically in perimenopause. Let’s dive into bile acid formation, its flow, and why it matters for your gut.
