Seed Cycling Guide

One of the many things that makes a woman's body amazing, is that it is constantly changing in respect to our hormones. With each day our hormonal structure is shifting. What is considered balanced one week, looks completely different the next week.

When we respect our natural cycle and adjust our diet, exercise rituals, and lifestyle habits to match with what our bodies need during that part of the month, we see improvements in our energy levels, ability to manage stress, ability to control our weight, and more.

There are four main phases that each women experiences during child bearing ages on repeat throughout the year.

Menstrual phase (typically 3-7 days): During this phase women shed the extra lining of the uterus that has built up in preparation for pregnancy. Blood and fluid are lost and nutrients need to be replenished.

Follicular phase (typically 7-10 days): After your period ends but before ovulation occurs your body begins to rebuild the lining of the uterus in preparation for egg implantation . In addition your body is working to create a mature follicle for a healthy egg to be released.

Ovulatory phase (2 days): During this short phase of approximately 24 - 48 hours, your body releases an egg from the matured follicle. You are producing peak cervical mucus to help guide the sperm towards the egg. To stimulate ovulation, estrogen drops while luteinizing hormone and follicular stimulating hormones peak.

Luteal Phase (typically 10 -14 days): Now it is time for luteinizing hormone and follicular stimulating hormones to get washed away while progesterone is on the rise.
