What I’m Eating Right Now: Seed Cycling Balls

Hello my dears!  

A few weeks ago I shared some of the meals that I’m making for myself in the kitchen these days.  Meals that include more whole foods… though honestly I think the term ‘whole foods’ is kinda buzzy and I’ve always eaten whole foods along with the occasional NOT whole food(?).  Human, you know?   

See: Six Weeknight Meals I’m Eating Right Now.

Overall I’m paying more attention to the foods I eat as they pertain to my hormones.  I’m researching foods that can help my body balance its hormones and I’m paying attention to how those foods make me feel month by month.  That means I have a food journal, eat less white flour, bake with less white sugar, eat way more kale and as much avocado as I’d like.  Listen… I also drink coffee and have an occasional glass or two of wine and I treat myself when I want to.  It’s not a cold turkey, perfect ‘clean diet’.  It’s not a diet at all.  

I’m not here saying I have all of the answers, I’m here sharing my exploration.  Maybe it’s something you’re interested in too… or maybe you just want Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls… and that I respect. 

The past month I’ve been enjoying Seed Cycling. 

Essentially seed cycling is eating one pairs of seeds for the first 14 days of your menstrual cycle and switching to another pair of seeds for the last 14 days of your menstrual cycle.  More about seed cycling here.  

Flax Seeds  + Pumpkin Seeds for the first 14 days (the first day of your period through ovulation) (also called the follicular phase).  The idea is that these two seeds help naturally increase estrogen levels during this part of your cycle while also providing fiber which helps the body process estrogen out, balancing any high levels.
