PCOS? Trying to Conceive? Irregular Cycles? Breast Tenderness? Seed cycling is a food as medicine approach where you consume specific seeds in different phases of your cycle to support hormone balance. Lab-made pills have fillers, additives & limited absorption but freshly ground seeds have fiber to support your gut and nutrients that are easier to absorb.
Whole seeds have a tough, hard shell which makes them hard to break down which is why they stay in whole form when they exit your body. Difficulty breaking food down can lead to bloating, gas, stomachache and lack of nutrient absorption. Grinding seeds beforehand helps increase bioavailability which makes sure your body is able to absorb all the nutrients - helping you experience all the benefits of seed cycling!
