Seed Cycling During Menopause – Finding Balance Again

Menopause is a time of change, and sometimes it feels like your body is running its own show, doesn’t it? Hot flashes, fatigue, mood swings, restless nights – it can all hit you at once. I know, it’s not easy. But here’s something that might help bring a little balance: seed cycling.

What is seed cycling?

Seed cycling is exactly what it sounds like – using different seeds to support your body’s hormonal balance. It’s about eating specific seeds during different phases of your cycle, as they’re packed with nutrients that help regulate hormones.

But if you’re in menopause, and your cycle is irregular (or has already stopped), what do you do then? Here’s the beauty of it: you can follow the moon phases instead!

• New moon to full moon: Pumpkin seeds and flaxseeds – they help support estrogen production.
• Full moon to new moon: Sunflower seeds and sesame seeds – these support your body’s progesterone levels.

Sounds simple, right?

How can it help me?

Let me be honest – seed cycling isn’t a quick fix, but it can make a real difference in how you feel day-to-day. Here are some of the ways it could help:

• Hormonal balance: Seeds are rich in nutrients like zinc, magnesium, and omega-3s – all things your body needs to feel more in harmony.
• Ease of symptoms: Some people find that hot flashes and mood swings become less intense over time.
• Better sleep: The magnesium and healthy fats in the seeds can help you relax and sleep more soundly.
• Simple and natural: No stress, no additives – just small, nutrient-packed seeds that are easy to add to your meals.

 

How do I start?

The best part about seed cycling is how easy it is to get started. There’s no fuss – just grab one of our ready-made Seed Cycling Mixes, designed to make everything simple for you. Sprinkle them on your yogurt, blend them into a smoothie, or top your salad. Taking care of yourself shouldn’t be complicated.

 

More than just seeds

For me, seed cycling isn’t just about supporting my body – it became a way to reconnect with myself. To listen inwardly and give my body what it actually needs. It’s a first step on a journey to feeling a little more like yourself again, even during menopause.
