Supporting My Teen Daughter (and Myself) with doTERRA Phytoestrogens

As both a wellness advocate and a mum, I’ve walked through different seasons of hormonal change — first in my own life, and now alongside my teenage daughter. Hormones can be unpredictable, bringing cramps, mood swings, brain fog, and all the ups and downs that make us feel out of balance.

I’ve shared my own journey with perimenopause and how doTERRA’s Phytoestrogen Lifetime Complex became a powerful support tool for me in this post: Supporting Perimenopause Naturally with doTERRA’s Phytoestrogen Complex.

What made me very happy was discovering that the very same plant-based support could also help my daughter as she navigates her teenage years.

Why We Use Phytoestrogens

Phytoestrogens are natural, plant-derived compounds that gently support the body’s hormonal balance. Unlike synthetic hormones, they adapt to the body’s needs — supporting when levels are low and moderating when levels are high. doTERRA’s formula combines soya isoflavones, flaxseed lignans, pomegranate, and liquorice root — a blend designed to ease discomfort, support mood, and promote overall wellbeing.

My Daughter’s Experience

Before we found phytoestrogens, my daughter would often spend four to five days in bed each month with debilitating period pains. It was heartbreaking to watch her miss out on school, activities, and simply feeling like herself.

Since starting the supplement, everything has changed:

• Less discomfort during her period — she’s no longer confined to bed for days, and her cramps are far more manageable.

• Calmer emotions — whilst teenage moods are still part of growing up, she feels more grounded and resilient.

• More consistent energy — she has a brighter sense of wellbeing day to day.

My Journey, Too

Having lived through my own hormonal transitions, I know first-hand how important it is to listen to our bodies and support them naturally. When I had to stop using phytoestrogens briefly due to a sourcing issue (doTERRA never release their products unless they are 100% pure which gives us confidence that purity comes above profit), I quickly noticed the difference: more irritability, bloating, and mental fog. Returning to them brought me back to a place of balance and clarity.

That’s why this supplement has become something of a bridge between us. It’s not just about easing symptoms — it’s about feeling empowered, supported, and connected to our health journeys in a natural way.

Final Thoughts

Hormonal changes look different for every woman and every teen, but what I love is knowing we don’t have to simply “put up with it.” There are safe, plant-based tools like phytoestrogens that can make the journey smoother.

This is my story, and now it’s my daughter’s too — a reminder that when we lean into natural solutions, we can support not only our own wellbeing but also the next generation of women growing into themselves.

Ready to Get Started Supporting Your Hormones?

If you’re wondering where to begin, there’s no one right way — it’s all about what feels best for you. Over the years, I’ve found a few options that work well depending on how much support you want:

• Joining a doTERRA membership is a bit like joining a wellness co-op. You get access to high-quality products at discounted prices, plus a lovely community of like-minded people for support and inspiration.

• You can also earn rewards with monthly purchases, get ongoing wellness education, and access guides to help you use your products confidently.

Here’s how I usually guide people through the options:

🌿 Option 1 – Hormone Support

Just the Phytoestrogens (60 capsules, I usually take 1–2 a day) is a gentle start. With a doTERRA membership, you save 25% on the retail price.👉 Find out more

🌿 Option 2 – Hormone Support + Essential Oils

This includes Phytoestrogens, a 10ml Clary Rollerbottle, and a small doTERRA Introductory Kit with Lemon, Peppermint, and Lavender (5ml bottles, about 85 drops each). This is a lovely combination if you want to explore both internal and external support.👉 Find out more

🌿 Option 3 – Hormone + Oil Support + VMG+
