Recommended Products and Resources

I am putting this together sharing some of the supplements and health products I have found useful in my own and patients lives. With quite a saturated market out there in the health industry it can be quite difficult to know which products and supplements are good and stand out as superior to their competitors. Whilst we do our best to stock as many of the best products across the globe on our own website, logistically there are some barriers so I will link to others in this resource. I don’t endorse lightly and am contacted by lots of companies sending samples and products to try and to see if I would like to promote and endorse, so this list is a collection of some that get my tick of approval.

Disclosure: some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning at not additional cost to you (and sometimes you will receive a discount) I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase.

* 2023 UPDATED - this is first update I have done in a few years - Enjoy! *

Water Filters —

I have been using the Zazen filters now for around 10 years and have been contacted by some other brands out there to endorse their products. In my research and investigations Zazen were the company that were able to send me the most comprehensive data on their filters so they get my endorsement. For 10% discount use HLCONNECT

Non Toxic Cookware —

Solidteknics have the best non toxic cookware in my opinion. They have expanded to quite a large range since their inception and a worthy investment!! You can find Solidteknics store here

Collagen, Organic Gelatin and Dehydrated Organ Supplements —

Very hard to find a certified organic gelatin product, the guys at Gelpro Australia deliver the goods though. Organic gelatin is a staple food in my diet for it’s health benefits and versatility in making snacks with endless possibilities. I’d caution using non certified gelatin as there have been reports of glyphosate residues detected in them.

Collagen is another food based supplement consistently in my diet, there are so many options available now and some key specific differences which make them more effective for different purposes which can make it confusing choosing one. These guys were one of the originals and have very high standards. A good starting point is their Unflavoured Peptipro Collagen

Desiccated / Dehydrated organ supplements are a great way to get in non-synthetic vitamins and nutrition, and lets face it most people are not eating fresh organs these days so are missing out on high quality nutrient dense nutrition! You will find a comprehensive range or grass-fed and finished and organic organ supplements over at Gelpro otherwise we stock Grassfed Dehydrated organ supplements from NXGEN Wholefoods, including the popular bull testicle supplement, organic beef spleen & whole blood builder

Coconut Yogurt & Kefir Starter Cultures —

Kultured Wellness produce the most potent and well thought out starter cultures that I have seen. They are carefully selected probiotic strains that have been chosen with a much deeper understanding of the microbiome so I routinely recommend these with my patients.

Health Supplements and Wholefood Products —

Changing Habits is a great company that use only the highest quality products. You will find they have a large selection, one of my favourites is their Organic Gelatin which is great for making gummies. Changing Habits also have an education platform so for those looking to further study I also recommend their courses.

Medicinal Mushrooms —

Life Cykel is my favourite without a doubt, I have personally met one of the owners, Julian and had many discussions with him and they take pride in producing the highest quality most potent extracts. They have their own team of biotech scientists and grow a lot of their own mushroom’s for their extracts. They are constantly researching product development and have expanded their range in recent times. For 10% discount use code HOLISTC at checkout.

Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation) —

I’ve tried a few of these devices from various companies now, if you are looking at buying a red light device I suggest researching the companies thoroughly before guying.. Here are my two favourites.

1) Block Blue Light - These guys are Australian and have a nice range of devises. Block Blue Light have an extensive range of not only Red Light Devices but also blue blocking glasses, light bulbs, sleep accessories and phone screen filters. They have kindly offered 10% discount for our followers - discount code HOLISTIC

  • Since initally putting this resource together Block Blue Light Australia has expanded their range. I am really impressed with their updates and loving the new light bulbs and downlights that I’ve put in my house.

2) Platinum Red Light Therapy these guys have a very thorough and high quality range of red light devices

Strength Training Supplements —

There are very few companies I trust when it comes to supplements to support my training needs. I find most are full of artificial sweeteners, colours, number & stimulants.

One company I do recommend is ATP Science & they have kindly offered 10% off with discount code HOLISTIC10 - These guys have a range of collagen, amino acids, and specific supplements without throwing in all the artificial sweeteners and colours etc.

I’ll share my typical Pre-Workout, Intra & Post workout concoctions (varies depending on the volume of training I’m going to do but looks something like this:

Sit-Stand Office Desks —

Desky

Australian company Desky have some great options for quality and affordable electric Sit-Stand Work Desks. Lets be honest us humans are not designed to be sitting for prolonged periods of time, nor steading still in one position for that matter - in terms of the amount of pressure that has been quantified to go through the low back discs in order of most pressure to least is - sitting, standing and walking coming in at the least of the three. So for those that need to be at a computer or desk my suggestion is a sit-stand desk so that at least every so often you can shift your postures around and mix up the load so that no one tissue is getting strained for long periods of time.

We have one of the Desky electric sit stand desks in our chiropractic clinic and very happy with it.

UpDown Desk

Another Australia company. We have both the Bamboo and Melamine top versions from UpDown Desk in our chiropractic clinic. These table are very well build, robust, easy to set up and visually appealing.

Customer service was brilliant with UpDown Desk and went above and beyond to help out.

I have no hesitation in recommending them if you are after a great quality electric sit stand desk.

Updown Desk Australia Bamboo Top version

Courses and Education Platforms —

1) CHEK Institute - Can not recommend Paul Chek’s Institute more highly, Holistic Lifestyle Coaching course was probably the most influential course I have taken shaping my personal and professional Career. The Institute have a range of courses that are worth checking out!

2) Helen Padarin’s Kids Immunity Course is a fantastic course empowering parents

3) Changing Habit’s - as previously mentioned Cyndi O’Mera has an online education platform. I haven’t personally done any courses however I know Cyndi quite well and know what she stands for so she gets my recommendation as one to check out.
