Getting pregnant and readying your body for the changes in your hormones… this is such a stressful season no matter how long you’ve been here. Support your body with healthy nutrition, natural progesterone, and the minerals/oils/herbs your body needs!
While I could make countless recommendations for ways to support your body during this time, below are my top five for you.
NingXia Red
harness the power of antioxidants
Ningxia is a powerhouse antioxidant drink clinically shown to increase physical energy levels, improve sleep patterns, and reduce daily stress.
It's packed with powerful antioxidants to help against oxidative stress, support normal cellular function, and promote healthy energy levels.
A recently published clinical study found that consuming 2oz of NingXia Red daily significantly boosts overall health in areas such as sleep, cognitive wellbeing, physical function, and immune health.
Everyone in your family can benefit this daily nourishment!
Progessence Plus
enhanced progesterone serum for mood & hormones
Progessence Plus is one product we do not want to be without. This topical serum combines Frankincense oil with USP grade progesterone from wild yams to create a topical supplement that offers support for everything from mood to skin to hormone balance and reproductive health.
Wild yams are said to help normalize blood sugar levels, combat weight gain and hair loss, and help reduce the occurrence of hormonal headaches. Progessence Plus also helps promote restfulness and sleep.
Recommended use is 1-4 drops on the wrist daily. Patiently give yourself 4 months of using this oil consistently to affect a change and bring yourself back into balance.
ENDOFLEX OIL
In our modern world, glands like our thyroid and adrenals have to work ever harder to keep us healthy, and we want to support them properly! EndoFlex oil blend is a great way to do just that. Endoflex supports healthy thyroid function, hormones, metabolism, and adrenals - the entire endocrine system! This oil blend will help all of these pieces of your puzzle come together as you gradually work your way to a place of more energy that comes from within.
1-2 drops daily - sublingual or in your daily NingXia Red - an effective way to support your Endocrine system and your hormones!

HORMONE HEALTH CHEAT SHEET

No single body system works in a silo. Our reproductive system does not operate separate from our digestive system or endocrine system. Likewise our circulatory health plays a role in regulating hormones, too. All too often we treat one system as though it is the only thing affecting our health. For hormone health, we do often at least begin in the endocrine system.
The endocrine system is a network of glands throughout the body that make hormones - insulin, thyroid hormone, cortisol, sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone) and more. The hormones made in the endocrine system are responsible for almost every cell, organ, and function in the body.
Adrenal, thyroid and sex hormones work in a cycle together. Thyroid hormone affects sex hormones. Adrenal hormones affect thyroid hormones. Sex hormones affect adrenal hormones. So when one part of the cycle is out of balance, there are consequences for the entire endocrine system.
THYROID & ADRENALS The adrenal glands are located just above the kidneys and are known for the 'fight or flight' response. This response is natural and necessary. It protects us when in high stress situations (like running from a lion), but the constant stress of daily life often keeps our adrenals on overdrive. Stress: try CortiStop, EndoFlex Vitality, NingXia Red and Super B
The thyroid gland performs a myriad of tasks in the body. It regulates metabolism, energy, body temperature, and hormone production which impacts just about every other body system in some way. Thyroid support is always important, but it is especially so for women aged 25-45 and before/during/after pregnancy. Thyroid: try Thyromin, NingXia Red, and EndoFlex
SEX HORMONES Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone play a huge role in our overall health - everything from reproduction to muscle tone to mood to energy levels. Chronic stress, improper nutrition, low vitamin D levels, an unhealthy gut balance and yeast overgrowth can all negatively affect estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
Low estrogen: try FemiGen, Clary Sage, and EndoFlex
Low progesterone: try Progessence Plus, FemiGen and EndoFlex
Men's hormone health: try PowerGize, Idaho Blue Spruce, and NingXia Red
Overall hormone balance (estrogen/progesterone/testosterone): try Progessence Plus, EndoGize, NingXia Red and Super B
MENSTRUAL CYCLE When estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are out of balance, it can cause some pretty uncomfortable symptoms during the monthly cycle. Other factors for painful periods include overall inflammation and even dietary sensitivities. This topic is multifactorial, but here are a few options when it comes to balancing and supporting menstrual cycles.
Hormonal tension: try Clary Sage, EndoGize, and Golden Turmeric
Fertility support: try Progessence Plus, EndoGize, and NingXia Red
Menstrual support (PMS, cramping, etc.): try Progessence Plus, EndoGize, Golden Turmeric and NingXia Red
Menopause: try FemiGen, Clary Sage, and Golden Turmeric
Uterine tissue support: try Progessence Plus, Golden Turmeric, and CortiStop (intermittently)
