Seed Cycling for Hormone Support 🌱
Seed cycling is a gentle, food-first way to support your hormones by aligning specific seeds with your follicular and luteal phases. Think of it as rhythmic nourishment—small daily inputs that support big hormonal conversations in the body.
✨ Follicular Phase (Day 1–14)
Support estrogen balance + healthy ovulation
• Flax seeds – fiber for estrogen metabolism
• Pumpkin seeds – zinc to support ovulation
👉 1–2 tbsp ground daily (add to smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal)
✨ Luteal Phase (Day 15–28)
Support progesterone + nervous system calm
• Sesame seeds – lignans for hormone balance
• Sunflower seeds – vitamin E + selenium for progesterone support
👉 1–2 tbsp ground daily (sprinkle on bowls, salads, soups)
đź’› Why we love seed cycling (especially in perimenopause):
• Food-based, not aggressive
• Supports detox + hormone signaling
• Encourages consistency without perfection
• Works with your cycle—even when it’s shifting
If your cycle is irregular or you’re in perimenopause, we often adapt seed cycling using symptoms and energy patterns rather than exact dates.
