Seed cycling is a food-first practice that involves eating specific seeds during each phase of your menstrual cycle to support your body's natural hormonal rhythm. It pairs flax and pumpkin seeds with the follicular phase, and sesame and sunflower seeds with the luteal phase.

You can, though the hormonal shifts seed cycling works with are largely suppressed by hormonal contraception. Many people still choose to seed cycle for the general nutritional benefits of the seeds themselves.

Yes. The seeds are nutritionally valuable regardless of cycle status. The phase structure is less relevant, but incorporating these seeds daily is beneficial for anyone.

RISE is formulated for the first half of your cycle — days one to fourteen. REST is formulated for the second half — days fifteen to twenty-eight. Each blend contains the seeds specific to that phase, pre-ground for optimal absorption.

Seed cycling is a slow, foundational practice. Most people begin to notice shifts in energy, mood, or how they feel through their cycle after two to three consistent cycles — roughly two to three months. Consistency over time matters more than any single day. If you miss a day, simply continue the next day as normal
