    Is seed cycling safe during pregnancy and should we be focused more on progesterone boosting seeds? Also which essential oils are safe to use for pregnant women? Are there any foods other than raw seafood, meat and eggs that must be avoided?

    Hello,

    I stop seed cycling during pregnancy and instead consume BOTH seeds 9flax and chia) daily (or almost daily) for all around support. progesterone is VERY important to maintain as it is what helps our placenta grow and uterus expand, etc. that being said, estrogen is very important to maintain as is testosterone and all the other hormones! SO eating a well rounded diet with lots of protein to support the hormones and flax and chia to support estrogen and progesterone is encouraged.

    I tend to suggest people avoid anything that comes in plastic containers (water, etc) as well as canned foods (BPA and BPS from cans). Also avoid overdoing the high mercury fish (tuna, mackeral, etc).

    For essential oils, all are safe to diffuse (unless you have an allergy). Topically, most should be safe but it depends on the person, the brand, certain health conditions you may or may not have, etc. I tend to recommend frankincense, blue tansy, german chamomile, helichrysum topically and the rest to diffuse.
