November 15, 2018 at 12:20AM How to use seed cycling for better hormone balance, including how to get started, how it works, and why it helps with symptoms of PMS and other hormone imbalances. Continue Reading… Have you heard of seed cycling? It’s one of the best “food as medicine” tools for getting your cycle back on track, balancing your hormones, and making those period problems disappear. As a naturopathic doctor, women’s health expert, and author of the upcoming book Beyond the Pill, I frequently suggest seed cycling to my patients and even do it myself. Seed Cycling 101: Here’s what it can do for your hormone health. But how does it work—and who might want to try it out? One of the best things about seed cycling is that it can be beneficial at any stage in a woman’s life, but I often suggest it to women who are going through the process of coming off hormonal birth control as a way to get their natural cycle back and start improving their hormonal health naturally. I’ve seen women struggling with symptoms of PMS, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), post-birth control syndrome (PBCS), irregular periods, acne, and breast tenderness benefit from adding seed cycling to their routine. As I guide you in how to get started with seed cycling, I am going to reference a 28-day cycle.

But beyond an upgraded party look—which, don’t worry, is covered below—the quickest way to perk up your style is actually through scent.
