I used to think that if I just ate “clean” enough, I wouldn’t need any other support. But the deeper I’ve gone into my wellness journey—especially now in midlife—the more I’ve realized that high-quality supplements are not a luxury. They’re a necessity.
Our bodies are constantly working to restore balance, fight inflammation, and process everything we throw at them—hormonal changes, stress, environmental toxins, lack of sleep. Supplements don’t replace healthy habits, but they do support the body’s natural processes and help us feel our best in seasons where our bodies need more.
4. Supporting Wellness from the Inside Out: Why I Take Quality Supplements
Let’s start with the one I won’t go a day without: NINGXIA RED. If I only took one supplement for the rest of my life, it would be Ningxia Red. This powerful superfood puree is packed with antioxidants that help reduce inflammation, fight free radicals, and support cellular health. Since I’ve been drinking it consistently, I’ve noticed better sleep, more energy, less joint discomfort, clearer skin, and way less bloating. I also have my inflammation markers checked yearly because of my autoimmune disease, and since starting Ningxia Red, my inflammation has gone from 500, which is very high, to 30 (80 is normal)!! It has truly made a difference, and my labs prove it. It’s one of the easiest, most effective ways I nourish my body every day.

I also rely on FEMIGEN, a supplement that supports the female reproductive system and helps maintain hormonal balance during perimenopause and menopause. As hormone levels shift, it's common to feel a bit off—both emotionally and physically. Femigen helps ease that transition in a gentle, natural way. Since taking it, I’ve felt noticeably more balanced—calmer, more focused, and less overwhelmed by the daily ups and downs.
Another staple for me is PROGESSENCE PLUS. Most women in midlife are low in progesterone, which can show up as poor sleep, anxiety, irregular or difficult cycles, and even mood swings. Progessence Plus is a natural, bioidentical progesterone serum derived from wild yam. It’s been a game changer for me when it comes to sleep and hormonal balance.
Lastly, I want to highlight CORTISTOP. High cortisol levels—often caused by ongoing stress—can wreak havoc on the body. Not only does it make us feel wired and tired, but it also blocks progesterone production, impacts weight management, and puts strain on our cardiovascular system. CortiStop contains herbs, essential oils, and pregnenolone to help regulate cortisol levels and support overall balance. It is an amazing way to support your body and help bring things back into balance.
I’m careful about what I put in my body, and I choose supplements that are clean, effective, and thoughtfully formulated. For me, that means leaning on trusted products from Young Living.
Midlife is a time of change, but it doesn’t have to mean decline. With the right tools and support—including the right supplements—we can step into this season feeling empowered, nourished, and ready to thrive.
