Wellness: How Hormones Can Impact Your Sex Life (from Suzanne Somers)
Friends,
please read the notes I took at the seminar Gary gave in NY,NY. He spoke a lot on the subject of hormonal balance. His and his wife's personal appearance and health is the evidence of how well and young we can feel.
Let me share with you a little secret - Ylang Ylang adds so much to romance!
For men
Blue spruce (rub topically- important where you put it - on the face or as a deodorant, or thighs ) and EndoGize
For ladies: Ylang Ylang and blue spruce, for men - Hong Kuai and blue spruce
"Will not take responsibility for increase in the family."
Please check information from the Essential Reference Desk, attached at the bottom of the page, on fixing sexual imbalance with the essential oils.

Feeling a little less than revved up about sex lately? Well, it’s no wonder! You’ve passed the big 4-0 and your hormone levels are likely out of whack. Think of them like a teeter-totter you’d see on a playground. When certain hormones drop, other hormones spike, and unless everything is in perfect, harmonious balance, your body
may feel like a train wreck. Not feeling quite like a sex kitten? Don’t worry, I get it.
Declines in levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone that take place in middle age often cause women to never feel “in the mood”—and that only worsens as the levels continue their decline. Then you’re faced with bloating, weight gain, hot flashes and dryness that can make you feel anything but sexy. (To find out if your hormones are out of balance, take a hormone panel test.)
So, if you’re over 40 and feeling burned out, sick, bloated, and unattractive; if watching TV seems like a more exciting prospect than getting intimate with your partner, don’t feel ashamed. This is what happens to our bodies when we hit middle age. Rejoice. Now that you know the solution, it’s time to make things happen.
Balance your hormones - you’ll be back to your old self in no time. Cut back on stress. Our high-stress lifestyles affect our adrenal glands, causing them to amp up production of adrenaline and cortisol, which can blunt the production of your sex hormones and create a cascade of other health problems. So if you want to get in the mood, try relaxing. Take a little bit of time out of your day to practice self-care—read a magazine, do some yoga, soak in the tub, have a cup of tea—and get your beauty rest! Sleep is crucial to maintaining your adrenals.
SleepEssence™ contains four powerful Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils that have unique sleep-enhancing properties in a softgel vegetarian capsule for easy ingestion. Combining Lavender,
Vetiver, Valerian and Ruta graveolens essential oils with the hormone melatonin—a well-known sleep aid—SleepEssence™ is a natural way to enable a full night’s rest.
Minimize medications. I would not want to live in a world without modern medicine, but I always try to use natural remedies first. By replacing your missing hormones, you will find you will sleep better, which is a much better solution that using sleeping pills. Your mood will also improve—and isn’t that preferably to daily doses of medicine to treat depression? Your anxiety will become more quiet, alleviating the need for anxiety medications or allowing you to transition with natural anxiety products. You will find your ideal weight, getting you off the cholesterol lowering meds. What’s great about balancing your hormones is that your overall health will be greatly improved—you won’t take as much medicine because you won’t need as much medicine! And when your body is feeling good, you’re feeling good. That’s something that definitely extends to the bedroom.
FOR MEN
Young Living’s Prostate Heatlh™ is uniquely formulated for men concerned with supporting the male glandular system and maintaining healthy, normal prostate function.
Prostate Health is an essential oil supplement featuring powerful saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil—ingredients known for their support of a healthy prostate gland. A proprietary blend of pure Geranium, Fennel, Myrtle, Lavender, and Peppermint essential oils provides the body with key anti-inflammatory components. These precision-delivery vegetable softgels quickly absorb into the system, thereby supporting healthy inflammation response and normal urinary tract function. For maximum benefit Prostate Health should be taken consistently over time.
Mister™
is beneficial to men. It also helps promote greater inner-body balance and many have found it soothing when stressed. Mister is recommended for men age thirty and over. Ingredients: Sage, fennel, lavender myrtle, peppermint, and blue yarrow, in a base of sesame seed oil.
FOR WOMEN
CortiStop® Women’s is a proprietary dietary supplement designed to help the body maintain its natural balance and harmony. When under stress, the body produces cortisol. When cortisol is produced too frequently,
it can have negative health consequences such as feelings of fatigue, difficulty maintaining healthy weight, and difficulty maintaining optimal health of cardiovascular systems. CortiStop supports the glandular systems of women.*
FemiGen™ capsules were formulated with herbs and amino acids designed to balance and support the female reproductive system from youth through menopause.* FemiGen combines whole food herbs like wild yam, damiana, and dong quai, along with synergistic amino acids and select essential oils to supply nutrition that is supportive of the special needs of the female systems.*
Progessence™ Plus serum is formulated for maximum performance. All natural, USP-grade super-micronized progesterone from wild yam is melted in vitamin E and essential oils for optimal absorption. Studies indicate that limonene from Frankincense and Bergamot and menthol from Peppermint oil can enhance substance penetration through the skin. Progessence Plus does not require the cycling of application sites.
How to use: Apply 2-4 drops daily on neck area. For added effect apply 1-2 drops along forearms daily. Do not exceed two applications per day. Does not need to be rotated on different areas of the body or cycled throughout the month.
Caution: Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant, nursing, taking medication or have a medical condition,
consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use. Do not use in conjunction with contraceptives containing progesterone.
