The Man Who Started It All

By Bryan Hays

It only takes one leap of faith to gather all your courage and set out for what you feel is your purpose. Perhaps no one understands the concept of making a difference more than Gary Young. He is the founder of Young Living Essential Oils and president of The D. Gary Young Foundation.

At the young age of 24, a circumstance that nearly cost him his life made him realize his purpose not just as a businessman but also a charitable and genuine person. Gary Young is a man of great character and compassion for others. And that's been his life's mission ever since then-sharing his knowledge of and experience with essential oils and healthy living.

His personal experiences have made him who he is today. All of these added to his empathetic, loving, and kind nature, and left him with a true commitment to help those in need. After picking himself up to recover from adversity, Gary knows he can help others when he sees an opportunity and he never thinks twice.

As the top man for Young Living Essential Oils, he is committed to understanding the remarkable therapeutic power of plants and this has resulted in the world's largest line of essential oils and blends. Gary Young has traveled the globe discovering how to best support both physical health and emotional wellness.

The driving force that led to the creation of the world's largest and foremost authority on essential oils sciences, Young Living Essential Oils was the discoveries of Gary Young during his travels. His discoveries have helped hundreds of thousands of people experience the benefits of natural healing.

Gary Young coined the term "therapeutic-grade," now known as Young Living Therapeutic Grade (YLTG), as a guarantee that Young Living will only sell 100% pure, natural, uncut oils that maintain the vital therapeutic potency. He saw wide discrepancies in quality and learned that in order to ensure purity and potency, expert, rigorous analysis of finished oils was critical.

Today, using gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, the phytochemical profile of every batch of Young Living essential oils is measured to evaluate each specific plant compound. Only then does Young Living guarantee the oil will provide the desired results and label it Young Living Therapeutic Grade (YLTG).

Poverty and illness are pandemic and needs to be addressed. This is the sole reason why the D. Gary Young foundation is in place and Gary Young made this his purpose in life - to make a difference. He made it his purpose to share his knowledge and help those who are trapped in the harsh realities of life.
