Meet Dr. Somi Javaid | disruptHer Podcast Host: Why I’m Fighting to Redefine Women’s Health

May 6, 2025 · 2 min · Hosted by Dr. Somi Javaid

Show notes

Welcome! I’m Dr. Somi Javaid, a board-certified OB-GYN, surgeon, and founder of HerMD, a groundbreaking healthcare platform redefining the standard of care for women.


I’m passionate about amplifying women’s voices and empowering women to take control of their health journeys.


Today, I’m sharing the story of a common and avoidable medical error that nearly cost my mother her life, and how that experience led me to create HerMD.


I explain how HerMD was founded, the critical gaps it addresses in traditional women’s healthcare, and why compassionate, comprehensive care is more essential than ever.


Most importantly, I share the mission behind disruptHer, including how I hope this podcast will drive real change in the healthcare system and highlight the systemic reforms needed to transform women’s health.


If you’re ready to break the silence, rewrite the narrative, and reclaim your health journey, then I’m honored you’re here.

Let’s disrupt together.
