On this episode of 9 to 5 Wellness, we're joined by Terry Chang and neurologist Dr. Ulrike Kaunzner, the co-founders of Two Moons Health, to dig into seed cycling and what it can mean for women's hormonal health.

Terry is walking us through how the company got started — she'd been dealing with really difficult cycles herself, and it was Ulrike who first introduced her to the practice of rotating four seeds through the month: flax and pumpkin in the first half of the cycle, sesame and sunflower in the second, to support estrogen and progesterone balance. From there, they surveyed women to figure out what people actually wanted, and that's how the capsule format came to be.
Dr. Kaunsner breaks down the different phases of the cycle and the mechanisms researchers think are behind seed cycling, including lignans and the role the gut microbiome plays in metabolizing estrogen. We're getting into an honest conversation about what the research actually supports right now — their own clinical study, done with 40 women over two cycles, is still going through peer review, so I make sure we're clear about where the evidence stands.
The reported results are genuinely interesting to hear about: fewer sick days tied to periods, less pain, better sleep, mood, and skin, and less bloating. But I also wanted to make sure we covered the cautions — this isn't for everyone, and we talk through pregnancy, breastfeeding, hormonal birth control, and certain conditions or medications where seed cycling might not be appropriate.
Toward the end, we widen the lens a bit and talk about what cycle awareness could mean beyond the individual — how it might factor into workplace policies and even athletic performance.
It's a conversation I think anyone curious about hormonal health will get a lot out of. So, listen in!
