Why I Started Orbelli: A Letter to Every Woman Fighting in Silence

Manifesto from the "Orbelli Founder"

Why I Decided to Start Orbelli - a Supplement Company for Women, by Women

Too often women’s health is overlooked, minimized, or dismissed. Why do we think it’s normal that when women speak up about their bodies, we’re told it’s “normal,” that it’s “in our heads,” or that we should simply just endure? From doctors who rush past our concerns, to partners who don’t understand and a society that profits from our silence—women’s health has been sidelined for far too long.

That’s why I started Orbelli. I believe that our health deserves more than a second thought. It deserves respect, research, and real solutions designed with women’s bodies in mind. Supplements have historically been created with a one-size-fits-all approach—often male-centered—ignoring the unique cycles, needs, and challenges women face daily.

Orbelli was born to change that. By women, for women, we are reclaiming the narrative of our wellbeing. We are creating formulas rooted in science, shaped by lived experience, and powered by the belief that women should never have to fight to be heard about their own bodies.

This is not just about supplements—it’s about shifting culture. Women’s health matters. Women’s voices matter. Together, we will no longer accept less than we deserve.

Let me say something that needs to be said: You're not crazy. You're not overreacting. And being "hormonal" isn't just an excuse - it's a signal.

I didn't start Orbelli because I was personally battling PCOS. I started it because I watched too many women I love fight battles they shouldn't have to fight alone, armed with nothing but dismissive medical advice and the exhausting suggestion to "just deal with it".

The Breaking Point

Picture this: You wake up one morning and your body feels like it's working against you. Your skin looks different. Your mood swings, and you can't control it. Your energy levels are at their lowest, and when you try to explain what's happening, the world tells you it's "just part of being a woman".

Sounds familiar?

PMS. PCOS. Perimenopause. Menopause.

You’ve probably experienced one of these, right? These aren't just medical terms—they're lived experiences affecting millions of women worldwide. Yet when we speak up, we're often met with responses that make us question our own reality. Doctors dismiss our symptoms as stress. Partners suggest we're overreacting. Society normalizes our suffering as an inevitable part of womanhood.

But what if the problem isn't us? What if the world has been ignoring our body's signals for far too long?

The Numbers Don't Lie: We're Being Failed

The statistics are staggering, and frankly, infuriating:

• 8–13% of reproductive-age women worldwide have PCOS, yet up to 70% of women with PCOS remain undiagnosed
• Women spend up to 25% of their lives in poor health or with some form of disability, yet only 7% of healthcare research focuses on issues that specifically affect us.
• The women's health gap could cost the global economy $1 trillion annually.
• Only 20% of OB/GYN residency programs provide formal menopause training, resulting in 80% of medical trainees feeling "barely comfortable" with these diagnoses.

Let me repeat: 70% of women with PCOS go undiagnosed. That means for every three women experiencing symptoms, only one receives proper medical recognition.

PCOS affects 4%–20% of women of reproductive age worldwide, making it one of the most common endocrine disorders in women, yet it remains largely misunderstood and undertreated.

The Personal Breaking Point

I remember the moment everything clicked for me… I was sitting across from a friend who was describing her monthly struggles - the unpredictable cycles, the crushing fatigue, the way her body seemed to betray her at every turn. She'd been to three different doctors. Each one told her it was normal. Each one sent her home with the same advice: "Learn to manage your stress".

That's when I realized this wasn't just her story - this was the story of my sister, my mother, my colleagues, my friends. This was the collective experience of women who had always been told their pain didn't matter enough to be investigated, and their symptoms weren't serious enough to be addressed.

Our hormones control so much more than we've ever been taught—and honestly, more than most doctors are being taught in school. When they're out of balance, it's not just one isolated issue. Your entire body and mind can feel like they're unraveling.

The Orbelli Mission: More Than a Product

That's why Orbelli exists. Not as another quick fix or temporary solution, but as part of a movement built with women like us.

We're not here to offer you another pill that disrupts your natural processes. We're here to support your body's innate wisdom with 17 carefully researched, natural ingredients that work with your hormonal system, not against it.

But Orbelli is bigger than our supplement. We're building what I like to call "our rebellion" against:

• Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis
• Years of living in discomfort without answers
• The normalization of women's pain
• The assumption that hormonal chaos is just something we should accept

What True Hormonal Support Looks Like

Our formula includes clinically studied ingredients like Myo-Inositol, which research shows can significantly improve hormone regulation in women with PCOS. We've included Inulin Frutafit® for digestive wellness, L-Carnitine for energy metabolism, and essential nutrients like Vitamin B6, Zinc, and Folate - each selected based on scientific evidence, not marketing trends.

Myoinositol is an over-the-counter food supplement that improves insulin sensitivity. In women with PCOS, it improved metabolic function without significantly affecting BMI - meaning that even if body weight doesn’t change, important underlying processes like blood sugar balance and hormone regulation can still improve. This is the kind of evidence-based approach that drives every decision we make at Orbelli.

We're not promising miracles - we're offering something more valuable: consistent, science-proven support for your body's natural processes.

What This Means for You

Here's what I want you to understand: When your hormones go haywire, it's not your fault. It's not because you're weak, or sensitive, or "too emotional". It's because your body is trying to communicate something important, and for far too long, that communication has been dismissed or ignored by society.

You deserve to thrive. And you don't have to navigate this journey alone.

Imagine a world where balancing your hormones is both celebrated and supported. A world where women understand their bodies, where symptoms are taken seriously, and where solutions are natural and sustainable.

Moving Forward Together

This is just the beginning of our story together. Orbelli started with one mission: to support women’s hormonal balance every day - helping you feel lighter, more energized, and empowered in your body. But Orbelli is more than a product; it’s growing into a community of women lifting each other up, sharing knowledge, demanding better healthcare, and redefining what it truly means to thrive.

Your voice matters in this movement. Your story, your experience, your journey - all of it contributes to the larger narrative we're building together.

Whether you choose Orbelli or not, I want you to know this: You deserve answers. You deserve solutions. You deserve healthcare providers who listen. You deserve partners who support you.

We're not just selling a supplement. We're fostering a revolution in women's healthcare, one conversation, one story, one step toward balance at a time.

Join the conversation. Share your story. Be part of something bigger than just a product.

This is just the beginning, and we're so glad you're here.
