Hormones for Him
Let's talk about hormones and their effect on our bodies! There are some easy things you can do to balance your hormones without making radical lifestyle changes.
Young Living has some really effective products that help support our endocrine systems (our hormones)... including supplements! We will cover those too!
Safety & Usage
Let's start off by looking at the ways you can use the oils and supplements in this class.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Hormones
Your endocrine system consists of all the glands in your body that produce hormones, including the thyroid, pancreas, and for men (the testes).
Hormones are 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 so that homeostasis (balance) is maintained.
When our hormones are out of balance, it can contribute to migraines, insomnia, weak bones, weight gain, mood swings, infertility, and low libido, to name a few. We may not be able to handle stress as well either. Over time, these hormone imbalances can lead to rapid aging and increased risk of disease.
Your body is constantly trying to keep your system in balance but it’s no small task. Things like stress, insufficient diets, poor food choices, inadequate sleep, synthetic hormones, genetics, and less active lifestyles can throw hormones out of whack and create health problems. But there is good news! Young Living has products to support your body in this delicate balancing act!
PowerGize
Are you ready to have the energy and stamina to complete your toughest workout or chase your kids around with their endless energy? These little pills pack a lot of punch. They are formulated with powerful plants from around the world that are known to help increase muscle mass and strength with physical activity and they also promote recovery after those tough workouts.
This supplement also increases your ability to concentrate, think clearly, and stay alert. It also helps your body cope with stress, feel more balanced and calm, and relax more efficiently. It also contains antioxidants and other immune-supporting ingredients!
PowerGize is specially formulated for men. It’s infused with Blue Spruce, Goldenrod, and Cassia essential oils, to increase your body’s ability to absorb it by 80% (compared to 30% absorption in generic store supplements) and support the male reproductive system. It also contains Eurycoma longifolia, which supports healthy testosterone levels.
USAGE: Take 2 capsules daily.
Prostate Health
Prostate Health does exactly what it says. It supports normal prostate function. If your doctor hasn’t told you yet, EVERY man needs to support his prostate.
This supplement also supports the entire male glandular system. Prostate Health is an essential oil supplement featuring powerful saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oils—ingredients known to support a healthy prostate gland. It is a proprietary blend of pure Geranium, Fennel, Myrtle, Lavender, and Peppermint essential oils.
These essential oils not only increase bioavailability but also provide the body support for maintaining a healthy urinary tract which is linked to better prostate function and health!
Prostate Health contains the following essential oils:
Geranium - encourages emotional balance and healthy skin.
Lavender - provides nervous and cardiovascular systems support and aids in emotional balance and healthy skin.
Fennel - provides digestive and hormonal system support.
Myrtle - supports the digestive, hormonal, and respiratory systems as well as promoting healthy muscles and bones.
Peppermint - offers digestive support by promoting healthy intestinal function and gastrointestinal comfort and soothing. It is supportive to the nervous and respiratory systems and encourages healthy muscles, bones, and skin.
USAGE: Take 1 liquid capsule two times daily. For maximum benefit, Prostate Health should be taken consistently over time.
PD 80/20
PD 80/20 replaces two hormones that you NEED (Pregnenolone and DHEA) to produce testosterone, progesterone, cortisol, estrogen, and other hormones. As you age, you produce less and less of these two hormones which will, in turn, produce less of the other hormones and cause some not so good things to happen.
This supplement contains an 80/20 blend of Pregnenolone and DHEA, two hormones you need to create a ton of other hormones. As you age and they decline, it is important to replace them so you don’t have added health issues.
These hormones support healthy adrenal glands and are located on top of each kidney. The hormones that they produce help to regulate your blood sugar and your blood pressure. They help your body burn fat and use protein. They also release cortisol, your stress hormone.
By supporting these glands, you’re supporting your overall cardiovascular health, your metabolism, weight management, and your body’s ability to manage stress, which is directly linked to your body’s ability to fight bacteria and other infections- i.e. our immune system! Not to mention your libido: low DHEA and pregnenolone can mean low testosterone, which means low sex drive!
Lastly, pregnenolone is also linked to brain function; particularly the memory. As with everything, correlation is not causation, but is it possible that less pregnenolone might be implicated in age-related memory decline? Faster learning, better memory, and mental acuity sounds like a win!
As you can see, an adequate supply of these hormones is very important!
USAGE: Start with 1 capsule per day, then increase to 2 capsules per day as needed.
Thyromin
Your thyroid is a gland that regulates body metabolism, energy, and body temperature. It controls calorie burning and even your heart rate. As you can see, it is important that it functions optimally, especially if you are trying to maintain a healthy weight!
As a man, thyroid issues can also manifest themselves in some specific ways. Do any of these symptoms sound familiar to you? Balding/hair loss, lower sex drive, decreased testosterone levels (not feeling like your macho self), or loss of muscle mass and/or strength?
Like every other human, you could also be feeling tired, struggling with brain fog, weight gain, or chills. Or maybe it's the opposite? You feel anxious, sweaty and on edge? Try taking Thyromin every day.
Thyromin is a perfectly balanced formula to help maximize your nutritional support for healthy thyroid function. This supplement contains iodine, porcine glandular extracts, L'Cysteine & L-Cystine and a supportive blend of essential oils... everything your body needs to support your metabolism and your thyroid along with an active lifestyle! It also contains four essential oils, which increases the body’s ability to absorb the supplement.
Thyromin contains the following essential oils:
Spearmint - may help calm occasional upset stomach; provides digestive system support as well as respiratory support.
Peppermint - provides digestive support by supporting healthy intestinal function and gastrointestinal comfort and soothing. It also supports the nervous and respiratory systems & healthy muscles, bones & skin.
Myrtle - supports the respiratory system and promotes healthy skin and hair. It has been researched for its effects on glandular imbalances.
Myrrh - a very powerful antioxidant and may support healthy skin.
USAGE: Take one to two capsules daily, immediately before going to sleep.
Complementary Oils
So we’ve covered some supplements to aid your hormonal balance and function. How about we cover some oils that perfectly complement these supplements and can help you live above that wellness line! The supplements we've mentioned actually contain many of these oils, but why not apply or diffuse these oils a little more often?
GOLDENROD
Goldenrod is an oil for the bedroom. Yes, that wasn't a typo. Just say the name slowly as two words and you will understand. It’s going to help you achieve and maintain what you need and want in the bedroom. Nothin’ like some good circulation to get the mood just right!
This one goes in and out of stock often, especially around Valentine's Day, so keep an eye out and SNAG IT UP fast! People know that it works, so it goes very quickly!
USAGE: Dilute with a carrier oil. You or your significant other can massage on lower abdomen, inner thighs, or even on your testes - just avoid the urethra opening.
Ylang Ylang
Ylang Ylang has been used to balance both male and female emotions. Even the manliest men have a sensitive side.
This can help you and your other half achieve a state of harmony. Like Yin and Yang.. it helps you release the negative emotions of anger, possessiveness, or low self-esteem and nourishes the positive emotions like confidence, self-love, and awareness.
This one is also good in the bedroom. It is one of the most powerful aphrodisiac oils around. It’s found in both Joy and Sensation blends, two favorites for making you feel happy and help get you in the mood.
USAGE: Diffuse a few drops when needed or dilute with a carrier oil and place over your heart and on your inner thighs.
Shutran
Shutran is a blend of exotic and rare oils that harmonizes male and female energy but in a different way than Ylang Ylang.
Have you ever heard of pheromones? Pheromones are behavior-altering agents. They are unlike most other hormones. They are ectohormones - which means they act outside the body of the individual that is secreting them and impact the behavior of ANOTHER individual and can induce activity such as sexual arousal.
SAY WHAT? Basically, you can lure someone in and get them aroused with your scent. The chemical constituents in Shutran were made for a man to wear to attract a woman! #WorthEveryPenny
Men, you can wear it every day like cologne to boost your confidence or put it on your forearms, shaft, and inner thighs.
Also available: Shutran Bar Soap, Shutran 3-in-1 Wash, Shutran After- Shave Lotion, Shutran Beard Oil
Mister
Mister was originally formulated to help balance the male energies. It balances emotions and promotes relaxation and mental clarity. Find peace and calm throughout your day by applying a drop to your wrists or ankles in the morning before you leave for work!
If you need a little boost in the libido department, then this one is a must-have. Apply this oil to your ankles and front and back pubic bones (pelvic area) when you need a boost.
Peppermint
Diffusing Peppermint can help bring you focus, a sense of calm, well-being, and invigoration. Rub on your temples for the relief of occasional head tension. You may want to dilute it first.
PEPPERMINT VITALITY
Put a drop on your tongue for fresh breath.
Add a drop in your NingXia Red before a big meal to support your digestive system.
This is the perfect complement to the Prostate Health supplement. Just a few drops a day can help support the prostate and help promote healthy sexual function.
Add a drop in your water bottle before you work out to stay cool, refreshed, and motivated.
Dorado Azul
Dorado Azul is good for promoting balance, a complement to any of the hormone-focused supplements we covered in this class. Apply a drop or two to your throat and mid-back daily or diffuse it for a calming, fresh, herbaceous scent.
