In this episode of Balance Beauty Talks, we dive into the world of seed cycling, a gentle and natural practice that supports hormonal balance through every stage of the menstrual cycle. Whether you’re navigating PMS, irregular cycles, or the hormonal shifts of perimenopause, this episode explains how specific seeds like flax, pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame can offer real support.

We break down the two main phases of the cycle—follicular and luteal, explaining what’s happening hormonally in each, and how different seeds can align with your body’s natural rhythms. You’ll learn how to implement seed cycling in a simple, sustainable way, what to expect, and why consistency is key.
