A sharp, empowering show for women rewriting the rules in healthcare, hormones, and business. Hosted by Dr. Somi Javaid, MD.
“Empowering women to become CEOs of their own healthcare.”
Each episode pairs Dr. Javaid with the founders, clinicians, and cultural voices reshaping women's health — honest conversations, practical insight, and real transformation. In year one, disruptHER earned a Webby and grew to a 300K–400K annualized run rate.
Dr. Somi Javaid has spent two decades closing the gender gap in women's health — building the care she couldn't find, for her patients and for herself. A board-certified OB/GYN and surgeon specializing in sexual health, menopause, and hormone care.
She founded and scaled HerMD, raising $40M+ in capital — a milestone reached by fewer than 0.4% of women of color who secure venture investment in the U.S. — before a double exit. Her TEDx talk reframed how audiences understand equitable care, and she lent her clinical eye to landmark menopause storytelling, including the PBS documentary The M Factor and two New York Times bestsellers.
The mission is simple and stubborn: close the credibility gap for women in healthcare — in a field where 93% of OB/GYN residents still graduate without any menopause training.
Five words. One award. A growing movement.
It names the credibility tax women pay in medicine and business. Women aren't borrowing confidence —
they're forced to borrow legitimacy.
This ends now.
