Go-To Health Foundations
This is a curated collection of the products, tools, and supplement brands I use most often in practice.
These are items I trust, recommend, and return to consistently based on clinical experience and client outcomes.You’ll find support here across key areas like digestion, hormone health, nervous system regulation, detox pathways, and daily foundational nutrition.
This resource is designed to simplify the process of choosing high-quality options without the overwhelm.
Please keep in mind that not every product is appropriate for every individual. Always refer to your personalized protocol or reach out before adding anything new to your routine.
Hormone & Fertility Tools
I use Inito because it gives us a much more complete picture of your cycle than traditional ovulation strips.
Most ovulation tests only track LH, which can tell you that ovulation might be approaching—but it doesn’t confirm what actually happened.
In reality, your cycle is a sequence of hormonal events, not a single moment.
Inito measures four key hormones—estrogen (E3G), LH, FSH, and PdG (a metabolite of progesterone)—all on one test strip. This allows us to see when your fertile window is opening, when ovulation is likely to occur, and most importantly, whether ovulation was successfully confirmed afterward.
What I love clinically is that we’re not guessing—we’re looking at actual hormone patterns and trends, not just a yes/no result. This is especially helpful if you have irregular cycles, are coming off birth control, navigating hormone imbalances, or trying to strengthen ovulation and luteal phase function.
Using Inito allows me to:
-
Identify your true fertile window (not just predicted days)
-
Confirm ovulation with progesterone (PdG), which most tests miss
-
Assess how your hormones are communicating throughout your cycle
-
Personalize your protocol based on real data—not assumptions
It essentially turns your cycle into something we can see, track, and work with, rather than guess through.
As always, this is a tool—not a one-size-fits-all solution. I use your results alongside your symptoms, history, and labs to guide your protocol in a more precise and individualized way.

Pantry Swaps
I often recommend using Thrive Market as a simple way to source high-quality pantry staples without having to search multiple stores. It’s an online membership-based grocery platform that carries a wide range of organic, gluten-free, and specialty items—including many options that fit low-histamine, gut-supportive, and cleaner ingredient standards. What I like most is that it makes it easier to filter for specific dietary needs and avoid unnecessary additives, which can be a challenge with conventional grocery shopping. It’s a practical tool for keeping your kitchen stocked with foundational foods that support your protocol without added stress or guesswork.

Science Backed Testing
HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis)
HTMA is a non-invasive test that gives us a deeper look at your mineral status, stress patterns, and metabolic function. Minerals play a foundational role in everything from thyroid function and hormone balance to nervous system regulation and detox pathways—yet they’re often overlooked.
This test allows us to assess key mineral ratios (like calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium) and identify patterns such as slow or fast metabolism, chronic stress adaptation, and potential imbalances in how your body is utilizing nutrients. Rather than guessing, HTMA helps us build a targeted, foundational protocol that supports your body at a cellular level—especially when symptoms feel complex or don’t fully resolve with gut work alone.
I use HTMA as a starting point to guide mineral support, nervous system regulation, and overall resilience, so your body is better equipped to respond to deeper healing work.
Tiny Health Microbiome Testing
I use Tiny Health testing to get a clearer picture of the gut microbiome—especially in infants and children, where early imbalances can shape long-term health.
This test looks at beneficial bacteria, opportunistic microbes, and overall microbiome diversity, helping us understand patterns that may be contributing to symptoms like eczema, digestive issues, immune challenges, or sensitivities. It also provides insight into early-life factors such as antibiotic exposure, birth method, and feeding history.
What makes this valuable is that it allows us to move from general recommendations to more personalized, targeted support—whether that’s rebuilding beneficial bacteria, supporting the gut lining, or addressing imbalances in a gentle, age-appropriate way.
I use these results alongside symptoms and history to create a practical, supportive plan that helps restore balance in the gut and support overall health from the foundation up.

Mineral Support
One of my favorite tools for foundational support is Mineral Mist. I use this regularly with clients who need gentle, consistent support for hydration, nervous system balance, and overall mineral status.
Many people are walking around depleted in key minerals like sodium, potassium, and trace elements—especially if there’s been chronic stress, gut dysfunction, or hormonal imbalance. This can show up as fatigue, poor stress tolerance, dizziness, headaches, or low energy throughout the day.
What I like about Mineral Mist is that it provides a clean, balanced source of electrolytes without added sugars, dyes, or unnecessary fillers, making it a great option for those who are more sensitive or working through gut healing protocols. It’s an easy way to support hydration at a cellular level while also helping to stabilize energy, improve resilience, and support overall daily function.
I often recommend using this as part of your daily routine—especially in the morning or between meals—to help maintain steady hydration and mineral balance. You can find their different flavors here, and use code COLLEEN15 for 15% off your order.
