The Happy Hormone Guide

Oh hormones...we all have to deal and some of us more than others (like me). I will highlight a few products I use to support my emotional wellness.  You can also check out the Young Living website for other amazing supplements and products to use.

Progessence Plus Serum 

Progesterone plays a role in helping to maintain pregnancy, helping prepare the body for conception and pregnancy. It also aids in regulating the monthly menstrual cycle and plays a role in sexual desire. 

The hormone is produced in the ovaries, the placenta (when a woman gets pregnant) and the adrenal glands. It can prevent changes in the uterus in women taking estrogen after menopause. It can also treat menstrual periods that have stopped before menopause.

According to the National University of Natural Medicine research is surfacing  that the benefits of progesterone apply to breast health, cardiovascular health, and nervous system health, most importantly brain function. Cool!

Progesterone is a hormone found in both men and women that is generally associated with women’s health. 

Progessence™Plus serum, intended only for woman, is an option for those looking to supplement progesterone levels. Expertly formulated by D. Gary Young and Dr. Dan Purser, Progessence Plus takes pure, USP-grade, super-micronized progesterone from wild yams and combines it with vitamin E and an essential oil serum to easily penetrate the skin for improved delivery. Containing frankincense,bergamot, and peppermint essential oils to aid in absorption. 

You do not need to alternate where you apply this serum, as that is the case with most cream based progesterone supplements. 

According to Dr. Purser, some of the common unwanted effects of menopause that adequate levels of progesterone can help support or minimize include:

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Fatigue
• Insomnia
• Increased wrinkles
• Weight gain and muscle loss (sarcopenia)
• Memory issues

If you have not gotten on board with this serum...do it and thank me later! 

Thyromin

Thyromin A natural thyroid supplement to support healthy thyroid function. It is a special blend of porcine glandular extracts, herbs, amino acids, minerals, and therapeutic-grade essential oils.

This supplement was a game changer for me and I still take it daily. Here is a list of things that can be affected by a sluggish thyroid: 

• weight gain
• lethargy
• poor quality hair and nails
• hair loss 
• dry skin
• fatigue
