Seed Cycling is meant to provide the ‘right’ nutrients at specific times of the month to help the body stay in balance. And it’s mostly geared toward estrogen balance. But women deal with progesterone and testosterone fluctuations too. Especially we they draw closer to perimenopause.
In many cases, these fluctuations are influenced by overall nutrient intake. Not the seeds themselves. So it’s important for us to know what support we really need and to choose the foods that are right for us.
Keep in mind, hormone balance is not about quick fixes or suppressing symptoms. Though many supplements and even holistic treatments are marketed as such. Seed Cycling is one of these wellness trends aimed at women who are struggling to regulate their hormones.
True balance is about supporting your body’s natural terrain through nourishment, observation, and informed choices. Giving the body the ‘tools’ it needs to survive and thrive through food, lifestyle, habit, and mindfulness.
Suffice it to say, the science on Seed Cycling isn’t YET clear. Seeds themselves have not been tested for efficacy in these cases and there’s no empirical evidence that shows seeds are ‘the’ solution.
What is clear is the connection between nutrient-dense foods and hormonal balance; whole foods comprised of essential anti-oxidants, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals have been proven to support the body’s stability and harmony.
Because most people are consuming a diet low in these nutrients, simply adding in, and cycling, seeds can spark a noticeable difference. But not in all cases.
Why? Because, unlike a medication, seeds are not a drug and don’t directly treat the symptoms.
If your diet is already lacking in diversity and whole food items, you’ll need to address that overall rather than just adding in some seeds each day. And thankfully, the nutrients in seeds can be accessed in other foods like legumes, olive oil, shellfish, beef/lamb, avocado, salmon/sardines, walnuts and egg yolks. This is more aligned with the diet I tend to recommend to my clients.
As with all trends, context matters. Have you tried it? #seedcycling #perimenopause #estrogenfree
