Women don’t function the same as men 💪
We aren’t linear. We’re cyclical. And pretending our hormones, energy, appetite and mood should look exactly the same every damn day isn’t it 💁🏼♀️
Your body moves through different hormonal phases across your menstrual cycle - and understanding those shifts can completely change the way you work with your body instead of constantly fighting it.
Enter seed cycling 🌱
The idea is bloody simple:
🌱 Follicular phase | Period → Ovulation
Flax + pumpkin seeds
Traditionally used to support the hormonal environment of the first half of your cycle.
🌻 Luteal phase | Ovulation → Period
Sesame + sunflower seeds
Traditionally used to support the hormonal environment of the second half.
Around 1 tablespoon of each seed daily is commonly used.
Is seed cycling a magical hormone cure? No. And anyone selling it like one needs to calm down. Scientific evidence specifically supporting seed cycling is still limited.
But seeds are nutrient-dense little powerhouses, and learning to recognise that your body has different needs throughout the month? That part matters.
Stop expecting your body to perform like a machine on the exact same settings 365 days a year.
You’re not linear.
You’re cyclical. Start paying attention. 🌙
