What is Seed Cycling and How to Do It?

Seed cycling is the practice of eating specific seeds during specific phases of your menstrual cycle to support estrogen and progesterone balance.

How to Apply It?

  • Follicular Phase (Days 1-14): To support estrogen, 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds and 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds daily.
  • Luteal Phase (Days 15-28): To support progesterone, 1 tbsp sesame seeds and 1 tbsp sunflower seeds daily.

You can seamlessly add these seeds to yogurts, smoothies, or salads.
