]]>The follicular phase is the first phase of the menstrual cycle, starting on the first day of menstruation and lasting around 14 days. During this phase a woman's body is busy preparing for the release of an egg at ovulation which is stimulated by rising follicle stimulating hormone, estrogen and luteinizing hormone. Balancing estrogen levels has a flow on effect with luteinizing and follicle stimulating hormones due to clever hormone feedback loops.
Pumpkin seeds and ground flax seeds are the focus of the follicular phase due to their high levels of the phytoestrogens, in particular lignans. Phytoestrogens are a natural, plant based source of estrogen that work on the oestrogen receptors to boost oestrogen levels when they are too low as well as decrease excess estrogen when levels are too high. This blend of seeds is also packed with omega 3 fatty acids which are powerful anti-inflammatories helping to reduce inflammation which can contribute to symptoms of PMS (premenstrual syndrome) such as pain and cramping.
To start seed cycling, simply add one tablespoon of each ground flax and one of pumpkin seeds on the first day of your cycle, from day 15 onwards change your seed blend to one tablespoon of each ground sunflower and sesame seeds (we will be sure to create a follow up recipe for luteal phase love).
Salted Caramel Granola for your follicular cycle is a very natural, easy and inexpensive way to incorporate a food as medicine approach to support your cycle. Our Salted Caramel Clean Protein and Organic Perviuan Maca have been used to up the yums and boost the hormone love.
