Masterclass: Sync Your Cycle - How to Use Menstrual Cycle Awareness to be the Expert of your Body and Transform Your Health & Life (code EMPOWERED for discount)

Experiencing "hormotional" rollercoasters? Naturopath Heidi Hogarth discusses how to manage your menstrual mental health, including PMDD naturally. We also dive into the power of cycle awareness. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a hormonally-driven mood disorder with symptoms occurring in the 3-14 days before your period and resolving within a day or two of the bleed.

Heidi is a Naturopath, Nutritionist, menstrual coach, & EFT practitioner-in-training, especially for people with hormonal mental health challenges, as seen in PMS, PMDD, post-partum & in perimenopause. Her mission is to help clients get off the “hormotional” roller-coasters, using nutrition, herbal medicine, EFT and body-mind awareness; to regain a sense of calm & confidence in themselves, and grow to love the power of their menstrual cycles instead of feeling victim to it.

Ready to re-balance your hormones and menstrual cycle, have healthy periods, glowing skin, and support fertility, naturally? Join myself and Mel from The Seed Cycle, to unpack how this menstrual biohacking method uses nutrients (not artificial hormones) to achieve hormone balance naturally.

Mel Kovacevic is the founder behind The Seed Cycle. She’s a Functional Nutrition Consultant and a Certified Clinical EFT Practitioner. As a mum of two beautiful babies, Mel knows first-hand that being a woman can be just as challenging as it is rewarding. Her own journey with health began after trying every diet under the sun to manage her weight, to no avail. Mel’s clients regularly came to her hormonal issues like mood irregularity, acne, weight gain, and difficulty conceiving. These health-savvy women did not want to resort to band aid solutions like The Pill or other medications that could potentially do their body more harm than good. Following extensive research, she found her answer: Seed cycling.

In this episode:

- Mel's story and experience utilising seed cycling to support her own and her clients' health

- Using a food as medicine approach and embracing food to nourish our body

- What is seed cycling?

- The different seeds for each phase of the menstrual cycle

- The science and Naturopathic wisdom behind seed cycling for hormonal balance

- How to seed cycle with the moon for irregular cycles

- How to practically implement seed cycling into your daily routines
