Most women in America at least are using a hormonal contraceptive, which has a lot of additional health side effects.Īs Saundra will tell you, she developed late stage breast cancer. We want that control to be in the hands of everyone, but in the past, a lot of the responsibility has landed on women and, they've been given, in some sense, relatively crude tools to do it.
This is the kind of product that is really important to change the balance of power and determining who ends up procreating and when. They can use it anytime on demand whenever they want. It is the first and only FDA approved, non-hormonal contraceptive gel for women. She's created a product at her company called Phexxi. So I don't understand why the market hasn't picked up on that one. You don't find a lot of companies focused on that, which is sad because women are the ones who drive a lot of the healthcare decisions for their entire families.
This is a super fascinating company that is dedicated to creating medical and healthcare products for women. Today we get to spend some time with Saundra Pelletier, the CEO of Evofem Biosciences. And I'm always honored to get to meet them. And for a lot of them, she's working behind the scenes and you don't find out until you get real close, what's really going on.īut occasionally you meet these women who are badass leaders that are so dogged that they're going to make something happen by force of will. There's this kind of pattern you can see sometimes, when you dig behind very successful projects, a lot of times there is some woman who is dead set on making it happen.
