๐ฑ Seed cycling utilizes the nutrient-rich properties of seeds to support your menstrual cycle.
Hereโs how it works ๐๐ผ
Seeds contain compounds that act as natural hormone modulators.
๐ During the follicular phase (Days 1-14)
๐๐ผ Incorporate 1-2 tablespoons each of ground flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds into your daily diet
Flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds contain lignans and Omega-3 fatty acids, which can bind to excess estrogen in your body, aiding in its removal. This promotes estrogen balance.
๐ In the luteal phase (Days 15-28)
๐๐ผ Switch to 1-2 tablespoons of ground sunflower and sesame seeds.
Sunflower and sesame seeds contain selenium and zinc, essential for supporting progesterone production.
โฌ๏ธ These seeds help ensure your body has the right building blocks to create this crucial hormone.
By introducing these specific seeds at the right times in your cycle, youโre essentially providing your body with the tools it needs to either eliminate excess estrogen or promote progesterone synthesis, thus restoring hormonal equilibrium.
