Dr. Somi Javaid is reshaping how we think about women’s healthcare—both in practice and perception. As founder and Chief Medical Officer of HerMD, she’s built an integrated care model prioritizing sexual health, menopause, and pelvic wellness, ensuring women receive evidence-based, patient-first treatment under one roof.
But her work extends far beyond the clinic.
Dr. Javaid has been instrumental in shifting public perception through advocacy and media, leading initiatives like Peanut’s The Reframing Revolution and The Renaming Revolution. The former created a royalty-free image gallery showcasing diverse representations of women’s bodies, while the latter challenged the subtly sexist language embedded in women’s fertility and pregnancy care. She is at the forefront of breaking stigmas, ensuring women’s health is treated with the same gravity and visibility as any other form of healthcare.
Her impact hasn’t gone unnoticed. For her advocacy in reproductive health, she’s been named to Inc.’s Female Founders 250 List (2024) and has received honors such as the Women on Top Award, the Women Who Mean Business Award, and the Blossom Award. A Cincinnati Top Doc, she continues to push for systemic change, ensuring women no longer have to fight to be heard in their healthcare journeys.
