Top 10 Benefits of These Seeds Together (Daily Use)

  1. Complete Fatty Acid Balance (Omega-3, 6, 9)
    Flax and chia supply omega-3s (ALA), while hemp, sunflower, pumpkin, and sesame provide omega-6 and omega-9—supporting brain function, hormone signaling, and cell membranes without skewing the ratio.

  2. Improved Gut Motility & Microbiome Health
    Soluble fiber (chia, flax) feeds beneficial gut bacteria, while insoluble fiber (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame) supports regular bowel movements and toxin elimination.

  3. Blood Sugar Stabilization & Insulin Sensitivity
    The fiber + fat combination slows carbohydrate absorption, reducing glucose spikes and improving metabolic flexibility—especially helpful for insulin resistance or cortisol-driven blood sugar swings.

  4. Cardiovascular Protection
    Lignans (flax, sesame), phytosterols (pumpkin, sunflower), and arginine (hemp) support healthy cholesterol balance, nitric oxide production, and vascular function.

  5. Hormonal Support & Estrogen Metabolism
    Flax and sesame lignans assist healthy estrogen detoxification and balance, while zinc (pumpkin) and magnesium (hemp, sesame) support adrenal and reproductive hormones.

  6. Anti-Inflammatory & Antioxidant Effects
    These seeds provide polyphenols, tocopherols (vitamin E), selenium, and sesamin—helping reduce oxidative stress and chronic low-grade inflammation.

  7. Muscle, Nerve & Mitochondrial Support
    Hemp delivers complete protein with all essential amino acids; magnesium, phosphorus, and iron support ATP production, nerve signaling, and muscle recovery.

  8. Bone & Connective Tissue Health
    Rich in magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, copper, and zinc—key minerals for bone density, collagen cross-linking, and joint integrity.

  9. Satiety, Weight Regulation & Craving Control
    The combination of fiber, fat, and protein promotes fullness, reduces snacking, and supports leptin signaling without spiking insulin.

  10. Liver Detox & Cellular Defense
    Sulfur-containing compounds, lignans, and minerals support phase I & II liver detox pathways and protect DNA from oxidative damage.

Seed Mix Preparation

Smoothie Instructions

  • Add the seed mix to a blender (start with 2 tablespoons and work up to 6 tablespoons if you like the taste).

Add Bone Broth Protein

  • Stop blender.

  • Blend for 5 seconds ONLY. (Blending longer makes it too foamy/frothy.)

Flavor Rotation (Encourages Variety)

  • One day: Use Vanilla Designs for Health Bone Broth Protein

  • One day: Mix the 2,

  • Taste test and adjust as desired.
