Hi, I am Dr. Somi Javaid. I'm a board certified OBGYN, a specialist of both menopause and sexual health. And I am a member of the plusOne Collective, and I'm here to answer questions from our community.

Knowledge is power. I'm a firm believer in education, advocacy, and empowerment. And when we understand what is happening to our body and why I think it's less scary, and when we understand all of our choices, whether it's counseling, pelvic floor, physical therapy, medications, hormones, and we are under the care of a trusted provider, and we feel like we are partners in our care, that's when the magic can happen when it comes to our, uh, perimenopause, menopause care, and sexual healthcare journey.
