Felicity's Favourites
Books, tools, products, and resources I personally recommend to patients and use in my own life. Updated regularly.
Preferred products & discount codes
My curated list of trusted products — supplements, tools, and everyday essentials — along with exclusive discount codes. Updated regularly as new favourites come along.
These are genuinely the things I use, read, and recommend in clinic. I update this page regularly as my research and clinical experience evolves. Always talk to me before starting new supplements or protocols — context matters.
Understanding Your COMT Gene
COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase) regulates dopamine, adrenaline and oestrogen metabolism. Knowing your COMT status can inform supplement choices, stress management, and hormonal support strategies.
Ask me about genomic testing in clinic.
Magnesium — Why Most of Us Are Deficient
Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic processes. I recommend magnesium glycinate or threonate for most patients. Deficiency is common and often missed, showing up as muscle tension, poor sleep, and anxiety.
Form and dose matter — I prefer to guide this individually.
Posture, Positioning & Optimal Birth Outcomes
How you hold and move your body throughout pregnancy directly influences in utero positioning and the mechanics of birth. Webster Technique chiropractic care is a core tool I use to support pelvic balance and optimal foetal positioning — with research showing meaningful outcomes for both maternal comfort and birth presentation. Posture awareness in all trimesters is something I work through with every pregnant patient.
Webster Technique assessment available in clinic.
Screen Time and Postural Load in Children
Tablet and phone use creates significant forward head posture loading in children. I recommend 20-20-20 breaks and dedicated device-free floor play time for children of all ages.
I cover this in detail in paediatric consults.
Bodyweight Movement — The Foundation of Functional Health
Bodyweight training, calisthenics, Pilates, and functional movement patterns are among the most effective and accessible tools for building strength, mobility, and spinal resilience. These approaches develop real-world movement quality — improving coordination, body awareness, joint stability, and postural endurance without the load or injury risk of heavy lifting. I recommend them across all ages and fitness levels.
I can help tailor movement recommendations to your stage of life and health goals.
Bone Broth & Collagen — What the Research Shows
Collagen peptides and glycine-rich foods support connective tissue, gut lining, and bone density. The research on collagen supplementation for joint health has strengthened considerably in recent years.
Brand-agnostic — quality and sourcing matter most.
MTHFR and Folate Metabolism
MTHFR variants affect how we process folate and B12 — with implications for pregnancy, cardiovascular health, mood, and detoxification. Methylated forms of these vitamins are critical for those with MTHFR variants.
Especially relevant in pregnancy — discuss with me before supplementing.
Circadian Biology & the Light-Health Connection
Your body's circadian rhythm governs far more than sleep — it regulates hormone production, immune function, metabolism, mitochondrial health, and cellular repair. Dr Jack Kruse's work on circadian biology, quantum biology, and the critical role of light (sunlight, artificial blue light, and red/infrared light) in human health is some of the most important — and underappreciated — science in integrative medicine today. Morning sunlight, minimising artificial light at night, and strategic use of red light therapy are foundational tools I incorporate into patient care.

Vitamin D in Pregnancy — Optimal Levels
Vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy is extremely common in Australia and significantly underestimated. I recommend testing 25-OH vitamin D levels and aiming for 100–150 nmol/L throughout pregnancy.
Discuss supplementation amounts with your healthcare provider.
Tummy Time — Why It Matters More Than You Think
Prone play activates deep neck flexors and spinal extensors, supports primitive reflex integration, and builds the neurological foundations for crawling and walking. I include a tummy time assessment in all infant appointments.
Start from day one — I'll show you how.
Daily Walking — The Most Underrated Health Tool
7,000–10,000 steps per day is associated with significantly improved back pain outcomes, mental health, and metabolic markers. Walking is load — and the spine needs it.
Especially for desk workers — I give specific strategies in consults.
Eating for Oestrogen Balance
Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, kale) support oestrogen detoxification through the DIM pathway. Fibre, flaxseed, and reducing processed food all support healthy oestrogen clearance — especially relevant for COMT slow metabolisers.
I discuss this in detail in nutritional genomics consultations.
