We protect ourselves in many ways. Seatbelts, vaccinations, home security systems, all used when we need them, BUT women have been asked to protect themselves every single day with medication they don't need to save their life. Why are women over medicating especially if the medication causes side effects?

She is a single mother, daughter, published author, breast cancer conqueror, CEO, and true trailblazer.  As one of the most dynamic women in today’s biotech industry, she leads Evofem Biosciences, a company revolutionizing women’s healthcare with innovative products meeting the unmet needs of millions of women.

Under her leadership, Evofem launched Phexxi – the first and only FDA-approved prescription birth control that is hormone-free, on-demand and does not shut down a woman's ovaries. Phexxi empowers women with a product they use only when they need it, and never when they don't. www.evofem.com & www.phexxi.com.
