This class is going to rock your socks! We are going to be talking about hormones and their effect on our bodies. We’re then going to cover what supplements Young Living offers to help support our endocrine systems (our hormones) and other complementary oils.

As women, we often associate hormones with certain stages in our lives, such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. The truth is that our hormones influence the health of our bodies, minds, & emotions every single day regardless of what “stage” we are in.

Safety & Usage

Let's start off by looking at the ways you can use the oils and supplements in this class.

1. AROMATICALLY: Put 6-8 drops of an essential oil or a combo in your diffuser. The diffuser will send the oil into the air and fill the room with the scent and beneficial properties of the oils.

2. TOPICALLY: Apply essential oils to your skin. Dilute your oils with a carrier oil if using topically, especially if you’ve never used them before. It is recommended that you use one drop of essential oil with 10-15 drops of coconut, olive, or almond oil and then apply it to your skin. Citrus oils like Lemon are photosensitive. Please avoid sun exposure for 12 hours after application to areas where you have applied citrus oils topically. Avoid putting essentials oils in the eyes or ears directly.

3. INTERNALLY: Young Living oils are pure and are labeled as Generally Regarded as Safe by the Food and Drug Administration. Because of their purity, some people like to ingest their oils to avoid "smelling" like an oil, or to support their body from the inside out.

4. SUPPLEMENTS: Follow the directions on each individual supplement package for proper safety and usage.   

Purity is EXTREMELY important when it comes to wellness products. When you use products that are pure, you will have more effective results. Products that are formulated with synthetic ingredients may not provide any results and can potentially cause damage to your body. Young Living goes above and beyond organic standards to provide natural products that work. YL farms on land without the use of pesticides, hand weeds their fields, and tests their essential oils multiple times in million-dollar labs to provide products with the purest and highest quality chemical constituents. If a batch doesn't meet these HIGH standards, YL will not bottle it up and send it to you.

What Are Hormones?

In order to understand your body and its needs, it’s helpful to understand how your body works. A healthy endocrine system = healthy moods, skin, bowels, and more!

Your endocrine system is comprised of all of the glands in your body that produce hormones, including your thyroid, pancreas, and for women, your ovaries. Hormones are like little chemical messengers in your body that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood, among other things. These messengers are produced by the glands and secreted directly into the circulatory system to achieve homeostasis (balance).

When our hormones are out of balance, it can contribute to migraines, insomnia, weak bones, weight gain, hot flashes, mood swings, infertility, and low libido, to name a few. Hormonal balance can also affect the way we handle stress. Over time, these hormone imbalances can lead to rapid aging and increase the risk of disease.

Your body is constantly working on the difficult task of keeping your system in balance. Stress, poor diet and food choices, inadequate sleep, synthetic hormones, genetic factors, and less active lifestyles can all throw hormones out of whack and create health problems. But there is good news! Young Living has some essential oils and other products to support your body in this delicate balancing act!

Thyromin

Thyromin helps maximize nutritional support for healthy thyroid function. The thyroid gland regulates body metabolism, energy, and body temperature. It controls calorie burning and even your heart rate.

What if one little pill could support your body so you feel energized and balanced or maintain that healthy weight you have worked so hard for?

You can be proactive in supporting your thyroid. This supplement contains iodine, and the porcine glandular extracts L'Cysteine & L-Cystine, which your thyroid needs to create hormones. By consuming this supplement and having a healthy lifestyle, you can support both your metabolism and your thyroid.

It also contains four essential oils that help increase the body’s ability to absorb the supplement.

• Spearmint - provides digestive system and respiratory support.

• Peppermint - provides digestive support by supporting healthy intestinal function and gastrointestinal comfort; also supports the nervous and respiratory systems as well as healthy muscles, bones, and skin.

• Myrtle - supports the respiratory system and promotes healthy skin and hair. It has been researched for its effects on supporting glandular balance.

• Myrrh - a very powerful antioxidant; may support healthy skin.

Cortistop

Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland in response to stress and low blood sugar. When you want to support a healthy amount of Cortisol in your body, you reach for Cortistop.

You remember the fight or flight survival response. This hormone is there to help you survive and it is important! Nevertheless, if it is produced and released too often, it can be harmful to your body. You can experience feelings of fatigue, difficulty maintaining a healthy weight, and difficulty maintaining optimal health of cardiovascular systems.

This supplement is going to support your body in maintaining natural balance and harmony. It’s also designed to aid female glandular systems. Wake up feeling more rested and less on edge. Maintain your desired weight. Feel more emotionally balanced and able to take on whatever life may throw at you next.

Cortistop contains the following essential oils:

• Fennel - supports the circulatory, glandular, respiratory, and digestive systems; may support feelings of well-being during the menstrual cycle.

• Peppermint - supports digestion by promoting healthy intestinal function and gastrointestinal comfort and soothing; supports the nervous and respiratory systems and encourages healthy muscles, bones, and skin.

• Clary Sage - provides hormonal support.

• Canadian Fleabane - offers cardiovascular and hormonal system support.

• Frankincense - encourages emotional balance and healthy skin and provides immune and nervous system support.

Usage: Take 2 capsule in the morning before breakfast. If desired, for extra benefits, take another two capsules before retiring. Use daily for 8 weeks. Discontinue use for 2-4 weeks before resuming use.

EndoGize

EndoGize is created especially for women and supports your entire endocrine system.

This supplement contains DHEA, which is the most common hormone in the body. Your body produces its own DHEA but after age 20 production starts to decline. That means this supplement can be very helpful for aging women.

You need this hormone because your body uses it to produce over 50 other hormones, including estrogen. Think of all the things older women commonly experience, or maybe you are experiencing them yourself. Get this supplement STAT so you can maintain your youthful health.

Don’t confuse the word COMMON with NORMAL. Just because something it common, does not mean it is normal. This supplement is going to support a healthy endocrine system so you don’t have to be one of those women with a common (NOT NORMAL) side effect of imbalanced hormones. It is especially supportive of the adrenal glands.

The adrenal glands are located on top of each kidney. The hormones that they produce help regulate your blood sugar and blood pressure. They help your body burn fat and use protein. They also release cortisol, your stress hormone. So by supporting these glands, you’re supporting your overall cardiovascular health, metabolism, weight management, and your body’s ability to manage stress and maintain energy. EndoGize is also infused with essential oils to help increase bioavailability to 80% (the body’s ability to absorb and utilize everything you ingest.)

Endogize contains the following essential oils:

• Clary Sage - has been used for centuries to help support the female body, particularly hormone support and reproductive function.

• Ginger - supports the digestive system; commonly used to soothe, comfort, and balance digestive discomfort.

• Myrrh - a very powerful antioxidant and stimulates the immune system.

• Cassia - smells and tastes like cinnamon and supports healthy blood sugar levels.

Usage: Take 1 capsule twice daily. Use daily for four weeks. Discontinue for two weeks before resuming.

NOTE: Do not use if pregnant or lactating. Intended for adult use only. Keep out of reach of children. If you are taking other medications or have a medical condition, consult your healthcare practitioner prior to use.

FemiGen

FemiGen capsules are for those ladies who are of childbearing age and want to give extra support to their lady parts.

It is formulated with herbs and amino acids that may support female health. It contains the following herbs: wild yam, dong quai, black cohosh, damiana and epimedium, black and blue cohosh. All of the herbs contain phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are dietary estrogens that occur naturally in compounds found in plants. These dietary estrogens support your own body’s estrogen.

Estrogen helps bring about physical changes that occur during puberty. It also helps control the menstrual cycle and is important for childbearing. It keeps cholesterol under control and protects bone health for both women and men. It also affects your brain, mood, bones, heart, skin, and other tissues.

FemiGen contains the following essential oils:

• Clary Sage - has been used for centuries to help support the female body, particularly hormones and reproductive function

• Sage - helps maintain balance between estrogen and the progesterone-testosterone balance; supports the nervous system and the adrenal cortex.

• Ylang Ylang - supports the adrenal glands.

• Fennel - supports the circulatory, glandular, respiratory, and digestive systems.

Usage: Take 2 capsules with breakfast and 2 capsules with lunch.

Keep in a cool, dry place. Do not expose to excessive heat. Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or under a doctor's care, consult your physician.

PRO TIP: SclarEssence™ Vitality™ is a perfect complement to this supplement. We will talk about this in detail later!

PROGESSENCE PLUS SERUM

Progessence Plus Serum, also referred to as PP or P+, contains USP-grade progesterone (from wild yam extract). Progesterone is a hormone that is produced in the body. It regulates the menstrual cycle and is crucial for pregnancy. You also NEED progesterone to have a healthy libido. As you age, you have a natural decrease in progesterone production so this product can be very beneficial when you are starting a family and after 30 years of age.

It's important to note that USP-grade progesterone is NOT the same as ‘progestins,’ which are synthetic versions of progesterone sold by pharmaceutical companies. Taking synthetic hormones is REALLY bad for you and can lead to life-threatening side effects. If you like to research, this is a topic worth researching. The USP-grade progesterone in Progessence Plus Serum is a natural hormone from wild yam extract.

Progessence Plus is formulated specifically for women. It contains Copaiba, Sacred Frankincense, Cedarwood, Bergamot, Peppermint, and Clove essential oils, all of which are calming and grounding, ideal for women who want to feel more relaxed and balanced. Progessence Plus also makes a lovely perfume.

Directions: Apply 2–4 drops of Progessence Plus to the stomach, feet, or inner thighs each day, rotating application sites to avoid applying to the same area two days in a row. For added effect, 1–2 extra drops may be applied. Do not exceed 2 applications per day.

NOTE: Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult a health professional prior to use. Avoid direct sunlight or UV rays for up to 12 hours after applying product.
