Seed cycling is a natural approach that uses different types of seeds to help regulate hormonal balance in women throughout their menstrual cycle. It is based on the belief that certain seeds contain nutrients that support specific phases of the menstrual cycle.

Here's a breakdown of how seed cycling typically works for women:

1. Follicular Phase (Day 1-14): During the first half of the menstrual cycle, also known as the follicular phase, flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds are typically recommended. Flaxseeds contain lignans, which help balance estrogen levels, while pumpkin seeds provide zinc and essential fatty acids.

2. Luteal Phase (Day 15-28): In the second half of the menstrual cycle, also known as the luteal phase, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds are commonly used. Sesame seeds are a good source of lignans and vitamin E, which may support progesterone production. Sunflower seeds contain selenium and magnesium, which are important for hormone balance.

Fast Like a Girl by Dr. Mindy Pelz

I’m joined by Udo Erasmus, founder of the award-winning supplement company Udo’s Choice, to learn more about the benefits of essential fatty acids. For over 40 years, Udo has been paving the way for sustainable oils that have health in mind. In our conversation, he shares his inspiring origin story and the journey that led him to transform the edible oil industry. 

After being poisoned by pesticides in 1980, Udo started looking into the quality of his food, water, and air intake. He gained a deeper understanding of the impact that oil has on mental and physical health, and even discovered that 99% of the population doesn't consume enough Omega 3. He and his team developed the first ever flaxseed oil and have since expanded the range to include optimal oil blends and other products like probiotics and greens. 

Udo shares simple, tangible ways to improve health outcomes through diet. Lifestyle changes can feel hard to implement, but Udo is living proof that it’s possible to feel younger while growing older when you prioritize what you put in your body. 

Listen in to hear our discussion about the power of essential fatty acids and how to start incorporating them into your diet. 

If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.

Topics Covered: 

• Where Udo’s drive and passion for science stems from 
• The truth about how cooking oils are made and the damaging effects they have on the body 
• Why it’s important to eliminate light, oxygen, and heat from the oil distillation and storage process 
• Debunking myths about oils and weight gain

Schon einmal etwas gehört von „Gender Nutrition“? Dieser Begriff aus der Wissenschaft beschäftigt sich mit den unterschiedlichen ernährungsspezifischen Bedürfnissen von Mann und Frau.

In dieser Podcast-Folge von „An Apple A Day“ fasse ich die wichtigsten ernährungsrelevanten Punkte zusammen, die den weiblichen Organismus unterstützen können. Zunächst beleuchte ich die unterschiedlichen frauenspezifischen Themen in der Diätologie und liefere eine Auflistung der unterstützenden Nährstoffe. 

Danach geht’s ans Eingemachte mit einer konkreten „Checkliste für mehr Power“. Neben ausreichend Trinken, stehen spezielle Obst- und Gemüsesorten, komplexe Kohlenhydrate sowie Hülsenfrüchte auf der Liste ganz oben. 

Zum Abschluss dieser frauenspezifischen Podcast-Folge stelle ich noch eine „Kur“ vor, die Frauen bei Beschwerden rund um den Zyklus helfen können: das sogenannte „Seed Cycling“. Erfahrungsberichten zufolge hilft diese Vorgangsweise bei hormonell bedingten Hautproblemen, Regelschmerzen, unregelmäßigem Zyklus sowie Wechselbeschwerden. Diese Folge dreht sich also speziell um das weibliche Essverhalten.

Feedback zur Folge sowie Themenvorschläge für zukünftige Folgen bitte gerne an praxis@ernaehrung-dirisamer.at
