Start by following cycles of the moon as a guide -- this is known as Lunaconception or BioRhythmic Lunar Charting. Because our bodies naturally want to sync with the phases of the moon (i.e. bleeding on the new moon, ovulation on the full moon or vice versa), use this as a guide if you struggle with regularity or amenorrhea (when menstruation is absent during reproductive years). Days 1-14 (new moon to full moon) = Follicular Blend (pumpkin seeds and flax seeds). Days 15-28 (full moon to new moon) = Luteal Blend (sunflower seeds and sesame seeds).
