✨ Women’s Health Essentials (Start Here)
Core daily foundations for energy, balance and long-term wellbeing.
Magnesium is great for winding down in the evening and supporting deeper, more restful sleep. I noticed it helps me feel more relaxed at night, especially when my mind is busy, making it easier to switch off and fall asleep naturally. A solid everyda...
Swanson - Triple Magnesium Complex
A simple but important daily staple. This particular fish oil provides a concentrated dose of omega-3s to support heart, brain and overall wellbeing. It’s especially important for women as they get older, when maintaining healthy inflammation levels ...
NOW Foods - Super Omega EPA Fish Oil
This brand of zinc is a highly absorbable form that supports immune health, skin clarity and overall wellbeing. It’s one of those basics I like to keep in my routine, especially during busy periods or when I feel run down. Easy, effective, and a soli...
Swanson Vitamins - Zinc Picolinate
Chromium is especially popular for supporting healthy blood sugar metabolism and is often recommended for people managing PCOS or insulin-related symptoms. Many use it to help with energy stability and cravings throughout the day. It’s an easy, no-fu...
NOW Foods - GTF Chromium
Something I’ve become much more aware of over time is just how important iron is for women, especially during busy, demanding phases of life. This iron is a sublingual formula, which means it dissolves under the tongue and is absorbed more efficientl...
Superior Source - Iron
I like to take a multi-layered approach when it comes to iron, especially as a woman, and beef spleen is one of the more unique additions in my routine. It’s a whole food source that’s naturally very high in iron and other supportive nutrients, makin...
Codeage - Grass-Fed Beef Spleen
🧠 Sleep & Stress Support
For winding down, calming the nervous system, and better rest.
My favourite melatonin supplement for the whole family. A simple, effective option for supporting a natural sleep routine when needed (especially during travel, disrupted schedules or restless nights). It helps ease the body into sleep without feelin...
KAL - Melatonin
A calming herbal tincture I reach for during stressful or overstimulating days. Passionflower is traditionally used to support relaxation and ease nervous tension, especially when my mind feels a bit “on” and I need help winding down. I like that it ...
Herb Pharm - Passionflower
A small but interesting addition to my “when stressed” toolkit. Lithium used in low doses supports mood balance and emotional steadiness during periods of stress. I like that it’s a liquid, so it’s easy to take and adjust as needed. It feels like a s...
KAL - Lithium Orotate Drops, Lemon Lime
👶 Family Health Essentials
Simple supports I keep in the house for the whole family.
Swanson Oral Probiotic Formula is something I keep on hand to support oral and respiratory health when we’re run down or unwell. It’s become such a familiar part of our routine that my son now asks for his “probiotic chew” when he starts feeling sick...
Swanson - Oral Probiotic Formula
These mints are a simple way to support oral health, especially when getting kids to brush properly feels like a daily battle. Chewing xylitol helps reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth and supports dental health between brushes. It’s become an easy,...
Epic Dental - Xylitol Mints
Iron gummies are an easy way to support children’s iron levels, especially when diet can be a bit hit and miss. I like that this chewable includes vitamin C to help with absorption, making it a more thoughtful all-in-one formula. It’s simple to add i...
VitaWorks, Kids - Iron With Vitamin C
🤱 Milk Production & Breastfeeding Support
Everything I used to support lactation and postpartum wellbeing.
A classic herbal supplement that’s been used for generations, especially by breastfeeding mums. Nature’s Way Fenugreek Seed is often taken to help support milk production, and while it’s definitely not winning any awards for taste, I found it genuine...
Nature's Way - Fenugreek Seed
A herbal supplement I added while looking for extra support with milk production. Moringa leaf is traditionally used in breastfeeding and postpartum nutrition, and many mums take it as part of their routine to help support supply. A simple, natural a...
MRM Nutrition - Moringa Leaf
This one feels a bit more fun than your typical breastfeeding supplement. What stood out straight away (besides the very clever name) was the branding: it genuinely made me smile every time I saw it, which is not something you usually say about suppl...
Legendairy Milk - Lechita®
A gentle herbal tea I kept reaching for during breastfeeding. Naturally herbal, this tea was one of those comforting little rituals in my post-partum day. An easy, calming way to support milk production alongside everything else.
Traditional Medicinals - Organic Mother's Milk®
Another tea, this time more fruity! I found it really easy to drink throughout the day, especially during those early breastfeeding weeks when you just need something warm, comforting and simple. A nice, gentle way to support milk supply while also g...
Oat Mama - Lactation Tea, Blueberry Pomegranate
A sweet little snack that feels a bit like a treat but is designed to support breastfeeding mums. This oat bar is soft, satisfying, and easy to grab when you’re busy and need something quick between feeds or while on the go. I like that it combines c...
Oat Mama - Lactation Oat Bar
💆♀️ Self-Care & Skin Rituals
Small daily rituals that make me feel human again.
One of those small self-care rituals I didn’t expect to love as much as I do. The EcoTools Dry Body Brush has become a little spa moment in my day: quick, simple, but oddly grounding. I use it before showers and it always leaves my skin feeling smoot...
EcoTools - Dry Body Brush
One of my absolute favourite toners, Kikumasamune Skin Care Lotion comes in a huge, budget-friendly bottle, which makes it perfect not just for the face but for the body too when you’re short on time. It’s hydrating, refreshing, and easy to layer, so...
Kikumasamune - Skin Care Lotion
Possibly a bit of an “out there” recommendation for some, but hear me out. This is one of those skincare products that sounds unusual at first, but genuinely delivers. It has a lightweight gel texture that sinks into the skin quickly, leaving it feel...
Mizon - Snail Recovery Gel Cream
