Today, we have guest Melissa, the founder & CEO of The Seed Cycle. Melissa shares her personal journey that led to the creation of The Seed Cycle and dives into how this natural practice can help balance hormones, improve menstrual health, and support overall well-being. Whether you're dealing with hormonal imbalances, curious about seed cycling, or seeking new ways to support your cycle, this episode is packed with actionable insights and inspiration. Tune in to discover how seed cycling can become a vital part of your health journey.

Grab your fav drink and get cozy or maybe grab your headphones for your hot girl walk and let's dive into this together.

Education Station:

1. Seed Cycling:

   • Phase I (Follicular Phase): Involves consuming flax seeds and pumpkin seeds. These seeds are rich in phytoestrogens and omega-3 fatty acids, which can help balance estrogen levels.

   • Phase II (Luteal Phase): Involves consuming sunflower seeds and sesame seeds. These seeds provide lignans and essential fatty acids, which support progesterone production and hormone balance​

2. Tracking Your Phase with the Moon:

   • Some people align their seed cycling with the lunar phases. The new moon to full moon can represent the follicular phase, and the full moon to new moon can represent the luteal phase. This approach can help synchronize the body's rhythms with natural cycles, potentially enhancing hormonal balance.

3. PCOS Study & Seed Cycling (2023):

   • A 2023 study explored the effects of seed cycling on women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The findings suggest that seed cycling can help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce symptoms of PCOS, and improve overall hormonal health by providing a natural source of nutrients that support endocrine function.
