Seed cycling is a way to eat specific seeds at different times of your monthly cycle to try to help your hormones stay balanced. When your hormones are out of balance, it can cause problems like irregular periods and cysts in your ovaries.

Here's how seed cycling works:

1. First Half of Your Cycle (Day 1 to Day 14): During this time, you eat flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds. These seeds are thought to help your body make more estrogen because your estrogen levels are usually lower in this part of your cycle.

2. Second Half of Your Cycle (Day 15 to the start of your next period): In this phase, you eat sesame seeds and sunflower seeds. These seeds are believed to help your body make more progesterone, which is important for having a healthy uterus and getting ready for a possible pregnancy.

People think that by eating these specific seeds at the right times, it can help balance your hormones. But it's important to know that there isn't a lot of proof from science that it really works. If you have hormone problems like PCOS, it's best to talk to a doctor for advice. They can give you the best guidance and treatments.
