Seed Cycling

These are recipes that I've designed to go along with female hormones. Eating in conjunction with your cycle can support healthy hormones as they eb and flow. These recipes focus on either the menstrual phase, follicular stage, ovulatory stage, or luteal stage.

Seed cycling focuses on eating flax and pumpkin through days 1-14 and eating sunflower seeds and sesame seeds through days 15-28 (or the first half and second half of your cycle - as a healthy cycle can vary between 28-35 days). This is a natural approach to support your hormones alongside other lifestyle factors.

If we were sitting down together, I would share that the key is: that these seeds need to be eaten consistently. I've created these recipes, to make it easier for myself to regularly include them into my everyday eating, so now I want to share these recipes with other women who desire to live holistically. If you want to hear more about eating with your cycle, listen in to this episode I did on the PMS Made Peaceful podcast. I learned about the benefits of seed cycling in my nutrition training.
