Seed cycling is a gentle, food-based practice that supports your body by aligning specific nutrients with each phase of your menstrual cycle.
By rotating four powerful seeds throughout the month, you provide your body with key building blocks like fiber, essential fatty acids, and naturally occurring compounds that support overall balance.

Phase 2: Luteal Phase
