Seed cycling is a new type of nutrition that coordinates the consumption of certain seeds with menstrual-cycle phases to help maintain hormonal balance. In this book, the idea of seed cycling is developed in the form of a detailed framework that combines the simple physiology of endocrine processes, contemporary lifestyle factors, and effective dietary interventions. It starts by defining what hormones are and the menstrual cycle and the importance of hormones in modern life as a result of stress, poor nutrition and getting exposed to endocrine disrupting chemicals.This also discusses some of the typical hormonal issues, such as abnormal cycles, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), highlighting their growing prevalence and close relation with lifestyle factors. In this context, seed cycling is proposed as a supportive, food-based intervention that involves the use of nutrient-rich seeds, including flax, pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame, to deliver essential fatty acids, lignans, vitamins, and minerals to regulate hormones.
