Success Stories

    After

    Within the first 2 months, I got my period back and have slowly started to build a consistent cycle, my skin has completely transformed

    The seed cycle changed my life. I have struggled with an autoimmune disease from a young age and was put on the pill to combat it, into adulthood I decided I wanted to come off birth control after over 10 years and move into a more holistic approach. I was diagnosed with PCOS and when I turned 25, my skin completely changed. I had never struggled with acne before and I couldn’t believe how much it impacted my confidence. My skin triggered the deep dive into my overall health, which is when I found Mel and the Seed Cycle. I wanted to prioritise my hormonal health. Within the first 2 months, I got my period back and have slowly started to build a consistent cycle, my skin has completely transformed and my libido has regulated. I recommend seed cycling to all my friends, family and clients. I will never go back. I cannot recommend it enough!

  • A must have!

    Since giving birth to my youngest 3 years ago I suffered every month with migraines, bloating, period pain and a heavy flow resulting in very low iron levels. The gynaecologist recommended an IUD, which did not sit well with me. I started looking into alternative solutions, including The Seed Cycle. After a couple of months of consistently having it, all of my symptoms reduced and I started feeling more like my old self. It’s easy to incorporate into daily meals and snacks (most days I have it with fresh fruit and a scoop of yoghurt). I’m even giving it to my kids now - they’re packed with vitamins and nutrients!

  • One full cycle of your seed cycling by the moon like you said and I am pregnant!

    My cycle has always been pretty healthy but I came off the pill in July consciously trying to conceive from October. I always have been fertile but I breastfeed my 2 year old on demand and for some reason after 2 red cycles I struggle to conceive. One full cycle of your seed cycling by the moon like you said and I am pregnant!

    My skin has cleared so much!!

    I used to get quite bad pimples during both ovulation and the week of my period, but my pimples are now almost non existent and my skin is so much clearer!!

  • Coming to the end of my menopause journey I wish I had known about seed cycling at the beginning.

    It took about 3 months to notice changes. Now 6 months in and there has been a noticeable improvement with hormonal migraines, energy levels and my sleep.It’s worth sticking with the practice which I found easy once I got into a routine of adding it to my morning oats, yoghurt and smoothies. Thank you!

    After

    I’ve spent the past 15 years trying to find a practical and sustainable solution for my PCOS and Endometriosis

    It hasn’t been an easy journey and there’s always been a trade-off; most treatments have eased my symptoms whilst aggravating others, such as hormonal acne. Seed cycling has ticked all the boxes for me. It’s sustainable, practical, and I am experiencing the longest and most consistent period of relief from my usual symptoms. My body feels in sync which is a difficultly thing to achieve with hormonal disorders.

    — Katie

  • I got pregnant, we’ve been trying to conceive for 2 years!

    Best thing ever! I took it for a month and could feel changes in my body within two weeks. And the best news ever is that I got pregnant, we’ve been trying to conceive for 2 years! I am sooooo grateful for these seeds.

We understand the importance of feeling confident and informed when making choices about your wellbeing. Seed cycling is a nutrition-based practice that draws on traditional knowledge and growing interest in the role of diet in supporting overall health.

Seed Cycling with the Moon Phases

Syncing your seed cycling routine with the lunar calendar can be a helpful rhythm to follow—especially if you're not currently tracking your menstrual cycle or your cycle varies month to month.

This approach is often chosen by those who are navigating different life stages or using hormonal birth control, and want to connect with a consistent, natural cycle.

How to Get Started

It’s simple: Phase 1 blend from the New Moon to the Full Moon

Phase 2 blend from the Full Moon to the next New Moon

Seed Cycling During Pregnancy, Postpartum & Breastfeeding

Congratulations on this special chapter! Based on your responses, it looks like you're navigating pregnancy, postpartum, or breastfeeding—and we're here to share cycle-aware nutrition insights that may support you during this unique phase.

During Pregnancy

Incorporating a variety of seeds into your daily meals can be a simple and nourishing way to add healthy fats, fiber, and plant-based nutrients to your diet. Some people choose to enjoy all four traditional seed cycling seeds—flax, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower—throughout pregnancy.

You can use them daily in meals or follow a rhythm aligned with the moon phases (New Moon and Full Moon), especially if you're not tracking a menstrual cycle.

💡 Always speak with your healthcare provider before making any dietary changes during pregnancy.

Please note: Our products are shelf-stable and suitable for food use. However, sesame seeds are considered medium risk for salmonella contamination, so it's best to check what feels right for you in consultation with your provider.

Postpartum & Breastfeeding

If you're postpartum or breastfeeding, the moon phase rhythm can offer a gentle guide for incorporating seed cycling into your routine—particularly while your natural cycle is re-establishing.

For example:
Phase 1 blends from New Moon to Full Moon
Phase 2 blends from Full Moon to the next New Moon

Seeds like flax are often included in postpartum diets for their nutrient content, but as always, it's important to make choices that suit your body and current needs.

Allergies & Seed Cycling

Seed cycling may not be suitable if you have allergies to all four core seeds: flax, pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame. If that’s the case, we recommend exploring other nutrition and lifestyle approaches that work better for your needs.

However, if you're allergic to just one of the seeds—for example, sesame—you may still be able to adapt the routine. One common approach is to follow Phase 1 as usual, and during Phase 2, increase the amount of sunflower seeds while omitting sesame.

As always, we recommend speaking with a healthcare professional or allergy specialist to make sure any changes are safe and appropriate for you.

If you have any questions or would like personalised support, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help you find what works best for your body.
