Seed Cycling: A Natural Path to Hormone Harmony

Seed cycling involves incorporating specific seeds into your diet during different phases of your menstrual cycle. Pumpkin and flax seeds (follicular phase) are rich in zinc and lignans that can support estrogen production. Sunflower and sesame seeds (luteal phase) provide selenium and healthy fats for progesterone balance. By combining these seeds into one convenient bar, you can snack your way toward hormone harmony—all while getting protein, fiber, and natural sweetness.
