The Science Behind Women's Hormonal Balance

The Science Behind Women's Hormonal Balance

Women’s well-being is intricately linked to hormonal health—a topic so complex yet vital. Given that approximately 80% of women are likely to face hormonal imbalances at some point, the stakes are high. We recently had a meaningful discussion with Dr. Dila Kavame, a distinguished expert in this field and a member of Cybele’s medical board, who offered valuable insights into this multi-layered issue.

Dr. Kavame explains, “Consider hormones as the control dials for our emotions and physiological functions. When these are finely tuned, we feel a sense of well-being, and our bodies operate in harmony. However, disruptions can occur due to external factors like stress or natural physiological changes, leading to mood swings and skin issues.²”

"The Goddess formula is uniquely designed to support hormonal balance in women, thanks to the synergistic action of its key ingredients. Ashwagandha, for example, is renowned for its adaptogenic properties that help the body adapt to stress, a common disruptor of hormonal balance³. Rhodiola Rosea complements this by boosting mental and physical stamina, reducing fatigue, and enhancing mood—all factors that contribute to hormonal equilibrium⁴. The addition of essential vitamins like B3 and B6 play crucial roles in hormone production and regulation. Boron has been shown to assist in the metabolism of hormones like estrogen and testosterone⁶. Finally, Hemp Seed Extract contributes by providing essential fatty acids, which are the building blocks for hormones. Combined, these ingredients work in harmony to create a potent formula that promotes hormonal balance, helping women feel more vibrant and balanced," mentioned Dila.

But the benefits of The Goddess go beyond merely restoring hormonal balance. The supplement is also crafted to mitigate the bothersome symptoms of PMS and smooth out the often rocky path through menopause.

Beyond incorporating a powerful supplement like The Goddess into your daily regimen, there are several other strategies that women can employ to maintain hormonal balance. Key among these is stress management, as unchecked stress can drastically throw hormones out of balance. Activities such as yoga and deep-breathing exercises can be incredibly effective⁸. Likewise, regular exercise, adequate sleep, a nutritious diet, and quality time spent with loved ones contribute significantly to hormonal health⁹.


In conclusion, maintaining hormonal balance is a pressing concern for women. With Cybele’s The Goddess supplement and some wise lifestyle choices, we can improve our hormonal health and feel our best.
