Hi! Thank you so much for this insightful video. I have a couple of questions. I am estrogen dominant (have a fibroid) and thought that flaxseeds were a no no for me due to estrogenic properties. Is this not true? Also, I happen to be allergic to both sesame seeds and sunflower seeds. Would it be okay to use chia seeds? Also, would supplemental vitamin d constitute a fish oil? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us. It's greatly appreciated!
I just started the seed cycling. I am on cycle day 4 right now. I already take fish oil and evening primrose oil but I take them everyday of my cycle. I think I'll try the oil cycling as will.
Thank you so much. I am so glad I came across your video. I haven’t had my period since December 2018. Before that it was always regular never missed my monthly period. Recently I am finding my body to ache a lot and I am now taking paracetamol. I will definitely try seed cycling. If anyone has other suggestions to reduce aches and pain then I would be grateful.
I have a question. Can I take two tablespoons of pumpkin seeds instead of flaxseeds because it doesn’t suit me? Please help me regarding this issue. Thank you.
Hi Dr Patty. Love this video! I had never heard seed cycling until I watched your video! Thank you for opening my eyes. I am going through perimenopause right now and my periods are very erratic. Some months I will skip my period entirely and then the next month I'll have two periods just one week apart. I am very excited to start the seed cycling and I have the intention of syncing with the moon cycles. Thank you and Dr. Angela so much for the great work you're doing with this channel! Your philosophy of giving your body natural, good, healthy tools to heal itself is so important and so needed in today's world! Keep up the great work! I so appreciate your videos, wisdom and advice.
If I'm already taking fish oil supplements should I stop these during the second phase or can I continue taking them? Would it harm the effects of the cycle? Also, do you just do this for one cycle or continue throughout the year? Thanks!
What if you missed period (42 years)and want it to come which should you have?flaxseed/pumpkin seeds or sunflower seed/sesame seed.? Thank you for the advice.👍👍👍
Does seed cycling help with thyroid? Are all these seeds and oils OKAY for thyroid? I’m actually trying to sync to moon cycle too. Is grinding seed important for other than flax?
If I have low progesterone and low CM and am using EPO do you recommend still using it days 15-1? It was recommended to me to take the oils flip flopped and take EPO from day 1-15 or ovulation and then begin fish oil, and that is to help with CM specifically.
NEVER SHORT YOURSELF WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR HEALTH. You need both seeds (SS/FP) with both phases. IF you're running low on time Just chew a tablespoon of each seed near bedtime pre-ground seeds (especially flax) lose their potency very fast.
Hi, I’m peri-menopausal at 37. My FSH is very high and have low oestrogen levels. Could you please tell me what seeds I could take to balance these hormones? Thank you. 😊
I’m interested in your answer to this question also Dr Patti... Are you familiar with the effects of phytates? If you are, do you have suggestions for how to minimize or eliminate them? Will soaking, sprouting, dehydrating help? Thanks for replying. Great post so hoping you can answer the phytate questions. Gratitude!
Can you still incorporate other seeds while doing this oil or seed cycling or is it important to just stick with the one kind of seed? I am loving your videos and the knowledge you have and share with us is what i hold in high regards
This was such a great and informative video. Coukd you please qualify the amount/dose of oil algae and primrose to properly oil cycle in conjunction with the seed cycling? Thank You!
Wow this is amazing! So i have no periods atm so my naturopath has me on evening primrose every day and i also take a high quality fish oil (just because i think its a good supplement). Is it ok or safe or effective to have both evening primrose and fish oil every day?
WOW This is great information. I am not really sure where I am in cycle. I haven't had a period since January of this year, prior to that i had a consistent 28 day cycle. I am 51 almost 52. I have no other pre-menopause symptoms. I would appreciate your guidance.
Thank you. Great topic. What about Hemp Seed Oil, Avocado oil or Olive oil? What about walnuts,coconut and other nuts? When is the best time to eat them?
Wow, so happy that I found this channel. Another ND on youtube recommended the pumpkin seeds for the Day 15-28-phase citing that there is some "newer work" recommending this. Do you guys know anything about this? Thanks so much in advance.
What about flax seed oil already made at the store? Also, I used flaxseed oil for a couple weeks and it caused an enormous breast cyst. Does this mean flaxseed is not for me? If so, what alternative can I do?
Dear Doctor, I've just started seed cycling and I notice pumpkin seeds are maybe causing me to breakout. Why is it so? (I'm a 22 year old woman) Thank you in advance.
Hi ! Thank you for the info! ❤❤I was looking for a way to start taking seeds! SO this is very helpful! Do you think this would help whith stage 4 endometriosis, i have endometriomas on ovaries and been TTC for 3 months ! Thanks again! Would appreciate if you can reply ! 😊
Ive been doing this and see Ive used to much flax. I was doing chia for progesterone 1 T and 2 T flax. This makes total sence. Ive got my period back. I just wish I could do something about weight gain. I know its fluid Im doing very healthy 1200-1500 cal a day.
I put evening primrose oil in my lotion, which I use just about every day. Does the oil have a similar effect topically and, if so, willing using it throughout my cycle have ill effects?
I think I am coming to the end of my menapause noticed since November I have been having spots on my face and my complexion is getting dry and no longer glowing as it used to be I am 57 desperate for advice what to do. If seed cycling can help with these problems I'm encountering.
Yes it is a very gentle way of balancing hormones. You may need further more individualized treatment to further balance your hormones and treat the cause of what's going on but this would be an easy and gentle way to start.
Hi very first time m txting u plz must rply we start flax nd pumpkin seeds first day of periods untill 14days nd from 15day to next period I will other seed is m write?
We want to release the lignans in the seeds and it’s hard to do that just by chewing. And especially when it comes to flaxseeds. Those will just go right through you whole and not digest at all due to the hard cellulose shell. You could potentially chew sunflower seeds REALLY well but grinding will release more of the therapeutic benefits.
I already missed my period Dec 2018 and into the new year. My lmp was in Nov 2018. How can I find out what my moon is? I want my period back at 42yrs old..
Hey please answer me question. What if I follow the first phase as is and during the second phase I keep on taking flaxseeds along with sunflower /sesame?? I have Pcod and testerone levels have increased and can see hair growth. Please help
Hi, I’ve loosely done seed cycling for a while. I recently turned vegan and the last couple of weeks I have really upped my intake of sunflower seeds in my diet due to diet change. Could the higher amount of sunflower seeds have induced my period to come sooner? It’s very rare for me to have an earlier period than normal and it came a few days early this month. Thanks for the video!
Estrogen phase: From day 1 of cycle to day 14 2 tbsp flax/pumpkin seeds Fish oil Progesterone phase: 2 tbsp of sunflower/sesame seeds Evening primrose oil
Hi!! Thanks for the video. I am trying to control hormonal acne holistically and came across seed cycling. My husband and I have also been trying to conceive as well. In doing so I have regularly been taking evening primrose oil. My question is when incorporating it into seed/oil cycling shouldn't I be taking EPO in stage 1 of the cycle? Everything I have read says it can cause uterine contractions which aren't good for TTC. Can I use EOO in stage 1 and Fish oil in stage 2?
CLF, I had been trying to get pregnant several years ago. I already had my first child at 39 and was in my early 40’s trying to have another child. Nothing worked for almost a year until I tried evening primrose oil. I got pregnant, and he’s now 12 years old! This was before I knew anything about seed cycling. Anyway, I just wanted to wish you all the best. If you plan on seed cycling with it, your chances will probably even be better. Good luck!
What if you have had a hysterectomy or are in menopause? Is seed cycling appropriate? Naturally I have been attracted to tahini. Interesting, I have been attracted to sardines too.
Fat cells and ovaries (if you still have one or both) will continue to produce small amounts of hormone even after a hysterectomy and/or menopause so seed cycling will still be beneficial for balancing hormones.
Hi dr thank you for the advice. I am doing the seed cycling, and the oils. But the oils I do it the opposite ways, do you think it alright that way? From circle day 1 primrose oil; the progesterone phase I take the fish oil. Please help let me know if I am taking it correctly. Many thanks.
Hello Dr Patti I am suffering from bleeding from 2013till now .and finally planned to get uterus removal.but just now saw ur video can u help me or tell me what should I do .I tied my tubes after my third C-section is it because of this I am bleeding
Wow! I love this video. I will share it with my daughter. What about women who don’t have periods due to a hysterectomy? I’m 50yrs old and I had a hysterectomy at 35. I do have my ovaries. Thank you
Ground is best to release all the lignans that help with the hormone balancing aspects. Unless you’re really chewing to the point of liquifying in your mouth, it’s hard to get the effect of it being ground. And it’s definitely hard to really chew whole flax seeds so each one gets ground up in your mouth. We’d recommend a little spice grinder from Goodwill or your local Target, Walmart, etc.
I do it too. Flax seeds have a very hard shell and even if you eat the whole they can pass through your stommach without being digested, so those are necessary to grind. But pumpkin seeds I eat whole and enjoy it

Hi,I just want to know if this terapy works with hypothyroidism?
Thank you
Hi. l am dominance estrogens, should l take the flax seeds? My understanding is that flax seeds are high in estrogens
Flax seeds are awesome because they support estrogen production but can also help to metabolize and excrete it if there is too much.
If I'm already taking fish oil supplements should I stop these during the second phase or can I continue taking them? Would it harm the effects of the cycle? Also, do you just do this for one cycle or continue throughout the year? Thanks!
Do you stop the fish supplements?!
Love this! Will definitely try this. Have been struggling for a while and my dr. is no help. 🙄
It’s very easy and gentle. Let us know how it goes for you.
Also, consider finding a Naturopathic Doctor near you.
PrettyWell there are none. 😿 and thanks, I will report back!

Is this okay to try if you are also taking progesterone meds for 10 days every month?
Today is my 2 day of period should I start seed cycling today @preettywell
Do I have to mix the flaxseed and pumpkin to get her and eat and do I have to mix my sunflower and seeded in my smoothie before drinking it.
Nope. But you should grind the seeds before consuming them, so that they get digested properly.
I have prolonged periods and spotting after recovery from PCOS can i use this treatment to balance my hormones?
Yes it is a very gentle way of balancing hormones. You may need further more individualized treatment to further balance your hormones and treat the cause of what's going on but this would be an easy and gentle way to start.

How do you know your new moon or full moon Phase if you have missed a couple of months of periods .
Can you explain me why it’s better to grind them? Can’t i just eat them or put them in yoghurt?
We want to release the lignans in the seeds and it’s hard to do that just by chewing. And especially when it comes to flaxseeds. Those will just go right through you whole and not digest at all due to the hard cellulose shell. You could potentially chew sunflower seeds REALLY well but grinding will release more of the therapeutic benefits.

Toasting them (sorry for my English) or heating just a little on a pan should it be same for having them digested?

Yes you can continue the flaxseeds all month.
How do I know what Day 1 is when I've begun menopause? Do I just pick a day and go with that? or can I figure it out someway?
Oh, I found it at the end of the video - Thanks. I had stopped it to ask my question, and there it is at the end. LOL

You can use an ovulation strip to measure LH which occurs day 14 - this will let you know when you are in your luteal phase

Why does it have to be ground? I am practicing the seed cycling for a few days now but i am eating whole pumpkin seeds. Is this wrong, and why?
Ground is best to release all the lignans that help with the hormone balancing aspects. Unless you’re really chewing to the point of liquifying in your mouth, it’s hard to get the effect of it being ground. And it’s definitely hard to really chew whole flax seeds so each one gets ground up in your mouth. We’d recommend a little spice grinder from Goodwill or your local Target, Walmart, etc.
