TMWC believes the body remembers how to heal when we listen closely enough.
Sometimes that listening begins not with a lab or a protocolâbut with seeds.
Small, ancient, and quietly powerful.
Seed cycling, like the one offered by Beeya Wellness, is one of the most elegant ways to support hormone balance because it works with the natural rhythm of the body, not against it.
It is nourishment timed to your cycle, offered in simplicity and trust.

đ What Is Seed Cycling?
Seed cycling is a food-based practice that uses specific seeds during different phases of the menstrual cycle (or lunar cycle) to gently support estrogen and progesterone balance.
Rather than forcing hormones to behave, seed cycling provides the body with the raw materials it needs to regulate itselfâfatty acids, lignans, zinc, magnesium, seleniumâdelivered in natureâs original form.
This practice is subtle, steady, and deeply respectful of the bodyâs intelligence.
đą The Two Phases of Seed Cycling
⨠Phase 1: Follicular Phase
(Day 1â14 | From menstruation to ovulation)
During this phase, estrogen begins to rise. The goal is to support healthy estrogen metabolism and prevent excess buildup.
Seeds used:
- đź Flax seeds
- đ Pumpkin seeds
Why they matter:
- Flax contains lignans that help the body metabolize estrogen more efficiently
- Pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, which supports ovulation and hormone signaling
Together, they help estrogen rise smoothly, without tipping into imbalance.
đ Phase 2: Luteal Phase
(Day 15â28 | From ovulation to menstruation)
Now progesterone should gently rise, bringing calm, warmth, and emotional steadiness.
Seeds used:
- đť Sesame seeds
- đ° Sunflower seeds
Why they matter:
- Sesame seeds support progesterone balance and liver detox pathways
- Sunflower seeds provide selenium and vitamin E, essential for hormone stability and nervous system support
This phase is about grounding, nourishment, and preparing the body for rest or renewal.
đž What If You Donât Have a Cycle?
Seed cycling isnât only for those with regular periods.
At TMWC we often guide:
- Perimenopausal women
- Postmenopausal women
- Those with irregular or absent cycles
In these cases, seed cycling can follow the lunar cycle, aligning nourishment with the waxing and waning of the moonâanother rhythm the body instinctively understands.
đ Why Beeya Wellness Loves Seed Cycling
Seed cycling embodies everything we stand for:
- ⨠Food as information
- ⨠Gentle consistency over intensity
- ⨠Supporting the root, not just the symptom
- ⨠Trusting the bodyâs design
Itâs not about perfection. Missing a day doesnât undo the benefit.
What matters is the rhythmâthe return, again and again, to nourishment.
Over time, many people notice:
- More regular cycles
- Reduced PMS and cramping
- Improved mood and sleep
- Less bloating
- A deeper sense of body awareness
đź How to Use the Seeds
Seeds should be:
- Freshly ground (for absorption)
- Added to smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, soups, salads, or warm drinks
- Taken dailyâabout 1 tablespoon of each seed per day
Beeya Wellness encourages weaving them into meals you already love.
Healing should feel supportive, not stressful.
đ¸ A Final Reflection
Seed cycling is not a quick fix. Itâs a quiet conversation with your body.
Each seed is a reminder:
- You are cyclical.
- You are rhythmic.
- You are designed for balance.
TMWC doesnât chase hormonesâwe cultivate harmony.
One breath, one seed, one cycle at a time.
