5 Health Priorities Every Woman Over 40 Should Focus on (And the Natural Tools to Support Them)
Your 40s and 50s are a powerful season of life, but they also come with some changes that are too important to ignore. Shifts in hormones, metabolism, and stress levels can affect everything from your energy and mood to your heart and bone health.
The good news? With some intentional lifestyle shifts—and the support of high-quality natural tools like Young Living products—you can take proactive steps toward a vibrant, energized, and healthy life.
Here are five key health priorities every woman over 40 should focus on, along with simple, effective ways to support them naturally.
❤️ 1. Heart Health
Why it matters: Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the U.S., and the risk increases with age. High blood pressure, stress, and a sedentary lifestyle are all major contributors.
Support your heart naturally:
- 💊 CardioGize™ – Supports healthy circulation and heart function with essential oils, CoQ10, and herbal extracts.
- 💧 Ylang Ylang & Bergamot Oils – Promote relaxation and emotional balance, which directly support cardiovascular health.
- 🧠 OmegaGize³® – Combines omega-3s, vitamin D3, and CoQ10 for full-spectrum cardiovascular and cognitive support.
Lifestyle tips:
- Move your body daily (walk, bike, stretch—just get moving)
- Limit processed foods and focus on heart-healthy nutrition
- Manage stress with breathwork, prayer, or meditation
🦴 2. Bone Strength & Joint Support
Why it matters: As estrogen declines, your bones can lose density, raising the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
Support your bones naturally:
- 💊 Super Cal Plus™ – A powerhouse blend of calcium, magnesium, vitamin D & K to help maintain strong, healthy bones.
- 💧 Wintergreen & PanAway – Use topically to support sore joints and muscles post-workout or during seasonal stiffness.
Lifestyle tips:
- Add resistance training and walking to your weekly routine
- Eat leafy greens, almonds, and dairy or calcium-fortified foods
- Ensure daily vitamin D—through sun exposure, diet, or supplements
🔥 3. Metabolism & Weight Management
Why it matters: Metabolism naturally slows with age, and hormonal changes can make weight harder to manage.
Support your metabolism naturally:
- 💊 Slique® CitraSlim™ – Supports healthy weight management and energy levels with citrus extracts and metabolism-boosting ingredients.
- 💧 Peppermint Essential Oil – Diffuse during workouts for focus and stamina; also helps reduce sugar cravings!
Lifestyle tips:
- Eat smaller, nutrient-dense meals with plenty of fiber and protein
- Stay active and incorporate strength training to boost metabolism
- Stay hydrated and reduce sugary drinks
🧠 4. Mental Clarity & Emotional Wellness
Why it matters: Between perimenopause, parenting, caregiving, and work stress, your mental load is heavy—and brain fog, mood swings, or sleep issues are common.
Support your brain and mood naturally:
- 💊 MindWise™ – Supports cognitive function and cardiovascular health with CoQ10 and brain-boosting nutrients.
- 💧 Lavender, Frankincense & Stress Away – Create a calming evening routine or use during journaling, prayer, or quiet time.
Lifestyle tips:
- Make space for mental rest and margin
- Prioritize sleep and create a bedtime wind-down routine
- Stay connected with friends or a support group
⚖️ 5. Hormonal Balance & Aging Gracefully
Why it matters: Hormonal shifts can cause hot flashes, mood swings, disrupted sleep, and more. Supporting your endocrine system can ease the transition.
Support your hormones naturally:
- 💧 Progessence Plus™ Serum – Contains wild yam extract and vitamin E to naturally support hormonal balance.
- 💧 Clary Sage Essential Oil – Known for its benefits in supporting healthy hormone levels and promoting calm.
Lifestyle tips:
- Limit endocrine disruptors (like artificial fragrances and plastics)
- Choose natural personal care and cleaning products
- Keep a consistent sleep and meal schedule
🌟 You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
There’s no perfect formula, but there is power in taking one small, intentional step at a time. When you align your daily habits with your health goals and lean into tools that truly support your body, you’ll begin to feel stronger, clearer, and more like yourself again.
