Chelsea Jambo: Building a Tea Brand That Actually Sees Women's Hormonal Health

At 24, with a grandmother dying of cancer and her mother having just found a lump, Chelsea Jambo asked a doctor for preventative care and was told to come back when she actually had breast cancer. That refusal is where Our Body began. Host Zaneta Chuniq Inpower talks with Chelsea about symptom-based teas, the funding gap in women’s wellness, and why education — not the product — drives the brand.

In this episode

• Why Chelsea sees this as the most empowering era in women’s health, and who the taboo actually belongs to
• The doctor’s refusal that started the business “out of a pure frustrating passion”
• Taking inventory of her own health and finding a natural alternative to living on Tylenol and Advil
• Symptom-based teas explained: one product that targets every symptom within a hormonal phase
• Raising money for women’s health in an AI-obsessed startup world
• Correcting the “just a tea company” misconception

“It’s not really taboo for women, it’s taboo for men.” — Chelsea Jambo

“It’s not like I’m saying I have a cold. It’s like I’m trying to figure out if I have a risk of having cancer, a serious disease, down the line, and his refusal shocked me.” — Chelsea Jambo

“Us women, we have a voice, we have a platform, we’re half the world’s population. Let’s talk about this, let’s start changing the narrative, and let’s provide other women with education.” — Chelsea Jambo
