The Seed Cycle — perimenopause and menopause support
You are not alone

Common experiences during
perimenopause & menopause

These shifts are a natural part of this stage of life — and many women find that consistent wholefood nutrition supports how they feel day to day.

🌡️

Hot flashes

Sudden waves of heat and flushing that can disrupt daily life and sleep, often linked to hormonal fluctuations.

🌊

Mood & energy shifts

Changes in mood, motivation, and emotional resilience that can feel different from earlier in life.

💤

Sleep disturbances

Difficulty falling or staying asleep, often connected to hormonal changes during the menopausal transition.

🦴

Joint & bone wellness

Increased awareness of joint comfort and bone health as oestrogen levels naturally shift over time.

📅

Irregular or absent cycles

Cycles that become unpredictable or stop altogether — making it harder to know which phase you're in.

No cycle? No problem

Follow the
moon instead

One of the most common questions from women in perimenopause and menopause is how to seed cycle without a regular period. The answer is simple — follow the lunar calendar. The moon's rhythm closely mirrors a 28-day cycle, making it a natural guide.

🌑 New Moon → Phase 1

Begin your Flaxseed & Pumpkin blend on the New Moon. Continue for approximately 14 days until the Full Moon.

🌕 Full Moon → Phase 2

Switch to your Sunflower & Sesame blend on the Full Moon. Continue until the next New Moon.

You can check the current moon phase at timeanddate.com or use our free Seed Cycle Tracker. We also send lunar reminders to our subscribers — sign up after taking the quiz.

The Seed Cycle seeds and nutrients
Wholefood nutrition

Nourishing nutrients
for this life stage

The four seeds used in seed cycling provide key nutrients that are particularly relevant for women navigating perimenopause and menopause — supporting general health from the inside out.

Flaxseed
Lignans & Omega-3s

Naturally high in phytoestrogen lignans, which may support hormonal balance during the menopausal transition, alongside omega-3s for general inflammation support.

Pumpkin
Zinc & Magnesium

Rich in zinc and magnesium — minerals linked to mood, sleep quality, and bone metabolism, all of which become increasingly relevant during menopause.

Sunflower
Vitamin E & Selenium

A source of vitamin E, which contributes to antioxidant activity and may support skin and cellular health during hormonal transitions.

Sesame
Calcium & Lignans

Provides calcium to support bone health — especially important during and after menopause — alongside additional lignans for hormonal nourishment.

What our community
is experiencing

Individual results vary. These are personal experiences shared by customers navigating perimenopause and menopause.

★★★★★

"Coming to the end of my menopause journey I wish I had known about seed cycling at the beginning. Now 6 months in and there has been a noticeable improvement with hormonal migraines, energy levels and my sleep."

★★★★★

"When perimenopause boldly presented, I switched to moon-cycling on Mel's advice. I can feel and see my body re-calibrating. My emotions are less potent and my hormonal breakouts less intense. I am telling all of my peri- and menopausal friends about The Seed Cycle."

★★★★★

"Having heavy periods for 18 months I needed to try something. So far I'm loving having a lighter period and just feeling better in general. I'm hoping to convince my girlfriends to get on this seed cycling."
