The shop
Not a wall of links. Six partners, organized by what they fix: light, minerals, twelve-hour shifts, clinical training, and practitioner-grade supplements. If it isn't in my own house or on my own schedule, it isn't here.
Where to start
Each card tells you what it's for, who it's for, and whether you actually need it. That last part matters.
Light therapy eyewear. Their Daylight lenses filter the artificial blue-heavy range screens throw at you all day, and Sunset lenses go on after dark so your brain stops reading your ceiling light as sunrise (Ra Optics).
I'm a Pure Encapsulations provider and Pure Ambassador. Their formulas are built around what's left out: no unnecessary binders, fillers, or the common allergens that quietly complicate a treatment plan. Every batch is NSF-GMP certified and tested for potency, heavy metals, and pesticide residue before it reaches you (Pure Encapsulations). Registering with my practitioner code is free, and every order ships free in 2 days straight to your door (register here).
Fullscript is my main dispensary for everything outside the Pure Encapsulations line: dozens of professional-grade brands, all vetted for third-party testing, bioavailability, and clinical relevance, not shelf appeal (Fullscript). This is where I keep the rest of what I recommend in one place.
My running list of the boring, effective stuff: magnesium glycinate, a sunrise alarm, blackout curtains, a decent water bottle, the exact notebook I use for pattern tracking. Organized by shelf, not by hype.
I'm an ambassador. Premium scrubs at honest prices, no venture capital, no inflated markup (Mandala Scrubs). What I care about: they survive a 12-hour shift and still look like clothes.
Where I trained on the functional and integrative side, and where I earned my Functional Medicine for ADHD provider certification. Their Fellowship in Functional & Integrative Psychiatry is built for prescribers who want the nutritional and metabolic layer alongside the pharmacology (Psychiatry Redefined).
Registered dietitians who actually understand the gut-brain axis, matched to you and billed through insurance, most people pay $0 per visit (Nourish). I refer here when a plan needs a nutrition layer I'm not the right person to build.
I make novelty coloring books under the pen name Dara Castle: cat illustrations, new-grad-nurse humor, nothing clinical. Still, coloring is a legitimate down-regulation tool, repetitive, low-cognitive-load, screen-free (Dara Castle on Amazon). Consider it the Pause principle with a sense of humor.
Inside the storefront
Four shelves, mapped to the framework. Buy in this order and you'll waste less money.
Sunrise alarm, blackout curtains, warm-spectrum evening bulbs, sleep mask.
Magnesium glycinate, electrolytes without the sugar, glycine, a decent B-complex.
Timer cube, resistance bands, standing mat, the notebook I use for pattern tracking.
Air purifier, humidifier, weighted blanket, the mug that makes tea feel like a ritual.
Supplements interact with prescriptions more often than people expect. Bring this list to your own prescriber before adding anything.
Every tool in my free guide is free. Read that, try a week, then come back and spend money on the one thing you're actually missing.
