Wellness Indicators ft. Cyd Vernon

People are the lifeblood of who we are. And for 20 years, it’s been Jaelyn Barney’s joy to work hand in hand with the people who make up Young Living. As Brand Partner Liaison, Jaelyn has had a front row seat to countless stories from people across the Young Living family. They have been inspiring, fun, and sometimes completely unexpected. So today we tell the story of all of you, the people whose lives have been changed from their time with Young Living.

When you’re making the switch to clean living, what you put on your skin matters. And Young Living has a fresh new answer. Today, we’re going behind the scenes of our updated skin care line with Bonnie Phelps, Director of Product Portfolio, to discover what went into creating these natural formulations. We’ve got a new look and a new routine for a brand new you.

At Young Living, “quality” isn’t just a buzzword, it’s something we put to the test. Literally. From seed to seal, we hold our ingredients to rigorous standards, using science and testing to help ensure the quality you expect. Andy Giles is the senior director of Young Living’s nationally accredited quality control lab and he’ll share a look at our testing process and why it matters. Because when it comes to quality, it’s not enough to make a promise. We believe you should be able to see the proof, and feel the peace of mind that comes with it.

An essential oil is not the only product that we get from plants, not by a long shot. New innovations in plant research have led to several new ways we are utilizing the natural world to bring natural benefits to you. Chris Bowerbank is the director of Product Innovation and is on the podcast today to share science backed research leading the way in the world of wellness. Innovating is a full time job, and here at Young Living we are making sure it stays a top priority. 

Young Living Convention in 2026 was a little bit different from normal, and it was a blast. There’s just one more stop on the Awaken Tour to go, so it’s time to talk about all the exciting news and products that debuted this year. Executive Director of Events Lisa Asay is home from the road and in studio to talk about what it was like setting up a new convention every week and our plans for the future. We feel awake and alive, ready to tackle the rest of this year!2027 Americas Convention early-bird registration is open! Join us in Salt Lake City next year

What if you could analyze and put a number to your health, and we are talking about much more detail than what you see on a scale. Because we all know that doesn’t tell the whole story. Cyd Vernon is in studio today to talk about healthy bodies and give us all the pep talk we need to get up and get going. Your wellness goes more than just skin deep, and the first step in improving health, is understanding it.

The legacy of Gary Young is one of discovery. In order to stay on the forefront of innovation, Young Living stays busy conducting scientific studies and publishing those results. Tyler Wilson is on the podcast today to explain why doing sound science is important to a company like ours, and what anyone can learn from those dense results. Our oils are great because of a million reasons behind the scenes, so let’s peek behind the curtain at a few of those together.Check out recent publications from the Young Living team here!

We are a people of disrupters. And the hottest way that science is moving forward right now is in the frontier of Artificial Intelligence. John Ramsay is here to dispel some myths and talk candidly about what AI can offer big companies as well as individuals. We’ve never been scared of stepping into the unknown here at Young Living, so let’s move forward together. 

At Young Living we want to bring you the best that nature has to offer. That requires hard work, farming, and a lot of ongoing science. Today we are talking to Dr. Noelle Joy in studio about her past work in aromatics and herbology and the expertise she is bringing to our scientific team. Just like our bodies react best when we look at them holistically, plants are best studied when looking at their environment from seed all the way to seal.

Modern medicine has gotten very good at finding single answers to single problems. But in the conveyor belt of hospitals and pharmacies, often the bigger picture can be overlooked in favor of a short term solution. Brad Chatterly is on the podcast to talk about a growing shift in wellness to approach the whole body, and how Young Living has strived to stay on the cutting edge of that movement. Especially in regards to new developments like DeepSpectra®.
