We know many women face changes like hot flashes, mood shifts, and low energy during menopause—you're not alone.

  • 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!

    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.

  • When peri-menopause boldly presents, what does one do?

    Mel advised me to switch to moon-cycling and this has been my path to progress. I can feel and see my body and period re-calibrating; My emotions are less potent and my hormonal breakouts less and also less intense. I am about to head into my 4th month, and I am optimistic about my incoming Happy Hormones and their ensuing good, internal and external manifestations! Mel has been a Goddess, The Seed Cycle subsequently elevated even more because of such love and commitment that Mel has for her product and her people purchasing it. I am telling all of my period, peri- and menopausal friends about The Seed Cycle because it works, it is value-for-money and the support is supreme.

  • My first period has had no cramping!

    So far so good, I understand it can take 3-6 months to notice major changes, but my first period has had no cramping which is great. I really love the taste of the seeds, and that it is natural what I am putting in my body!!

Get Started with Seed Cycling

What the experts are saying...

I recommend seed cycling for hormone balance in both my clinic and book, Beyond the Pill, because it is an effective and gentle way to support women's hormones.

Here at The Natural Nutritionist (TNN) we use seed cycling as a natural technique to stimulate and balance the sex hormones required for menstruation, through consumption of different types of seeds throughout the month.

How to Use It (Step-by-Step Guide)

Seed cycling involves eating specific seeds at different times of the month to balance your hormones naturally:

Phase 1 (Days 1-14 or New Moon to Full Moon): High in lignans, which help modulate estrogen levels, easing hot flashes and mood swings.

Phase 2 (Days 15-28 or Full Moon to New Moon): Packed with vitamin E to support progesterone levels and reduce oxidative stress.

*All Seed Cycle Product include the daily dose of seeds for seed cycling. Products can be interchanged daily.

Nutritional Support for Menopause with Seed Cycling

The nutrients naturally present in flax, pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds—such as omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, vitamin E, and lignans—are widely recognised for their role in supporting overall health. These components are often included in wellness routines aimed at maintaining hormonal balance and reducing inflammation, which may be beneficial during the menopausal transition.
