HOW THIEVES SAVED MY THYROID
Personally, I credit this one product for reversing the chemical overload that almost led to my thyroid being removed. Long story short, in 2021 my TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) levels were dangerously low. After diagnosing me with subclinical hyperthyroidism, my endocrinologist recommended removing my thyroid and putting me on medications for the rest of my life. Before deciding, I simply asked for 90 days to see if there was something I could do on my own. After researching endocrine disruptors and replacing every single chemical cleaner in my house with just this one product, my thyroid numbers went back into normal range, and I no longer qualified for treatment at all!

Although the word menopause often brings a bit of dread for most women, this natural process doesn't have to be overwhelming! There are a lot of great tips and tools for managing this season of women's health, and I have them all right here for you.
MENOPAUSE AT A GLANCE
- Signals the end of a woman's menstrual cycle and fertility years
- A natural part of the aging process for the female reproductive system
- May involve symptoms that can be soothed with oils and supplements
- Differs for each individual woman
During menopause, your body drastically reduces its production of reproductive hormones, and your periods gradually stop. Our goal is to be cycling and menstruating for as long as possible, since that is the natural state of female bodies. However, menopause is a normal, natural part of our body's aging process.
When it comes to finding relief from menopause symptoms, the hardest part is often the emotional and physical side effects that the decline in hormones can bring. Transitioning through menopause may mean dealing with uncomfortable symptoms, such as weight gain, low energy, low sex drive, and changes in your mood; however, we have tools in our toolbox to help our bodies through this process!
Although menopause might feel inconvenient and hard at times, taking conventional hormone replacement medications can cause many unwanted side effects. A wiser option is to naturally manage symptoms through a healthy diet, exercise, stress reduction and natural supplements.
THE ESTROGEN-PROGESTERONE BALANCE
Estrogen and progesterone are two of the key players when it comes to hormone balance and menopause.
Estrogen is a key component of a healthy heart and immune system, and it plays a role in energy and mood as well. As you age, your estrogen levels begin decreasing, leading to menopause, which marks the end of the reproductive years.
Progesterone levels also affect a wide range of other body systems, so when the ovaries don't make as much progesterone, you may experience things such as migraines, mood instability, bone density decline, skin issues, and changes in bleeding.
The balance of these hormones is important for ALL WOMEN. No matter the age. Even those who've had a hysterectomy!
Ok but what about estrogen? Where does she come into the picture? I'm glad you asked…
Estrogen has to first attach to a cell, then it grabs hands with the progesterone. If the progesterone is not there, the estrogen begins to inhibit the chemical process that is supposed to happen and it can begin a process of mutation.
Bottom line? Both estrogen and progesterone are important. Both are needed. BUT they are needed in a balance of each other.
MENOPAUSE-SUPPORTING OILS & SUPPLEMENTS
If you determine that you need some support through this natural process, how do you get it?
This is usually where conventional HRT comes in. However, many of these hormones are made with horse urine, medroxy-progesterone acetate, and other synthetic progestins. These are VERY different from what is found in plants or in your body. Plus, their long term effects have some dramatic risk factors.
Natural hormones are easily recognized by the body. It says, “Hey! I know you! And I know exactly where you need to go to help me.” This is why we love phyto-progesterones like the ones in these products!
SUPPLEMENTS
EndoGize is a daily women's hormone support supplement powered by essential oils, minerals, and herbs, including ashwagandha root – a well known herb for hormone balance and stress reduction. EndoGize also contains DHEA, a hormone precursor for estrogen and testosterone, DHEA is naturally made in the body, but levels decline as we age. These ingredients work synergistically to create a formula that supports a healthy endocrine system for women.
FemiGen is a twice-daily supplement that combines whole-food herbs including wild yam, damiana, and dong quai with synergistic amino acids, and clary sage, fennel, ylang ylang, and sage essential oils. FemiGen specifically supports the female reproductive system through estrogen balance and helps maintain and nourish the reproductive system from development through menopause.
PD 80/20 is a daily supplement that contains pregnenolone and DHEA, two substances produced naturally by the body that decline with age. Pregnenolone is the key precursor for the body's production of estrogen, DHEA, and progesterone, and it has an impact on mental acuity and memory. DHEA is involved in maintaining the health of the cardiovascular and immune systems. These ingredients combine to help support the endocrine system and balance overall hormone levels.
CREAMS & SERUMS
Progessence plus is a mainstay for progesterone support. It is a pure progesterone serum from wild yam that is infused with Sacred Frankincense essential oil. This serum easily absorbs into the skin and also contains the nourishing oils Copaiba, Cedarwood, Bergamot, Peppermint, and Clove giving it many added benefits for supporting and stabilizing mood. Fun bonus: Clinical studies are also showing that essential oils can enhance the ability of natural hormones to penetrate the skin, allowing us even more benefit. This way we quickly get our new progesterone on its way to that estrogen that's been left hanging.
This is a natural estrogen support cream with plant-based phytoestrogens that soothe the skin and can provide an alternative to conventional estrogen creams. This rich, nourishing cream of plant extracts such as wild yam (phyto-progesterone!) and black and blue cohosh (phyto-estrogens) supports female hormone health – especially estrogen levels. This cream also contains St. John's Wort and adaptogenic herbs to help soothe the adrenal glands and emotions!
This cream is very similar to Regenolone, except it has one more ingredient – DHEA. This body cream smells incredible and provides so many wonderful hormone supporting herbs such as St. John's wort, wild yam extract, ginkgo biloba leaf extract and green tea leaf extract. These herbs and essential oils work synergistically to promote a healthy balance of hormones while also nourishing the skin. The DHEA in Prenolone Plus can be really helpful to some women. DHEA is a hormone precursor for estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, meaning you would further increase the hormone levels that you need.
ESSENTIAL OILS
Sclaressence is an essential oil blend containing Clary Sage, Peppermint, Spanish Sage, and Fennel. This blend is rich in phytoestrogen oils. Phytoestrogens are simply plant-based compounds that are similar enough to human estrogen that they are easily recognized as estrogen in our bodies. There is also thought that they help our body create its own estrogen!
Clary sage is a natural phytoestrogen and can help the body balance estrogen levels.
Healthy hair starts from the inside out. Nutrition plays a vital role, but sometimes we need a little extra help. These are my two favorite supplements that will take your hair health, as well as your overall health, to the next level.
This is the product that started my newfound healthy hair obsession, when I observed fellow Young Living brand partners raving about what it does to their hair. In fact, one brand partner said that it seemed to be taking away all her greys. Since I had just stopped bleaching my hair and was noticing the new "sparkles" appearing, I had to try this. Sulfurzyme contains MSM, a dietary sulfur that is essential for healthy hair. It comes in two forms: capsules and powder. I take two capsules each morning and two capsules each evening. But beware, one of the side effects of Sulfurzyme is long, strong fingernails and healthier, brighter-looking skin. Yuck. Oh, and it also boosts your immune system and helps with joint pain. Kind of a jack of all traits.
If there was one supplement I would recommend for overall health, it would be NingXia Red, which is derived from wolfberry of the NingXia province and infused with essential oils. I can't say enough about this powerhouse! For starters, it has incredible antioxidant power. Antioxidants fight free radicals, those pesky little guys that cause aging, greying, low energy, the list goes on and on.
So when I say "incredible antioxidant power", what do I really mean? I'm so glad you asked! One ounce of NingXia Red has the antioxidant power of:
- 4 Pounds Carrots
- 2 Quarts Carrot Juice
- 8 Oranges
- 1 Pint Orange Juice
- 2 Pounds Beets
- 2 Cups Beet Juice
- 3 Cups Raspberries
- 2 Cups Blueberries
… combined!
The NingXia wolfberry also contains every essential amino acid, which makes it a complete protein. At 13% protein, it has the highest protein content of any fruit. It also has B1, B2, and B6—you know, the energy vitamins. It has more Vitamin C (148 mg) than all fruits and veggies on earth, including oranges (53 mg) and spinach (133 mg). It has more calcium than cherries and cruciferous vegetables and more beta carotene than carrots! And it's loaded with fiber because the pulp and skin are preserved.
I strongly recommend consuming 2 ounces of NingXia Red each day. We mix it into our "green slime" each morning. It tastes delicious and gives us a kick of natural, sustained energy throughout the day.
NingXia Red is available in various forms:
My math whiz friend Dee calculated that, by drinking 2 ounces a day, a 750 ml (25-oz) bottle would last about two weeks for one person.
As you can see, NingXia Red does much more than just encourage healthy hair. I drink NingXia Red every single day for general health. It has made a huge difference in my energy, my mental focus, my mood....oh, and my skin, hair, and nails. This is definitely one you want to put on Loyalty Order. More on that in a different post.
I'm happy to send you a free sample. Just say the word!
But what if you need a little extra hair support? Read on to see how Young Living can help!
Next stop is Cortistop. Get it? (Insert eye roll here.) This is a phenomenal supplement for people who have too much cortisol. Wait...what's that, and how do I know if I have too much?
Cortisol is our stress hormone. Too much of it causes anxiety, fatigue, and difficulty maintaining healthy weight. Cortistop Capsules help support glandular systems that can balance out cortisone activity.
If you're going to be all rebellious and not include enough healthy fats in your diet, then you need to supplement with Green Omega 3, which contains plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin E, and flaxseed oil (which is also good for brain health!). Along with essential oils, this supports normal brain function and heart, eye, and joint health.
I put all my favorite hair products in one nifty spot. Check them out here.
