S3Ep104: How You Can Avoid Menopause Altogether with Dr. Piraye Yurttas Beim, PhD, Founder and CEO of Celmatix
Why have we accepted subpar healthcare for women for over a century? No new drugs designed specifically for the female body, a medical system that normalizes our suffering, and a venture capital world that throws only 2% of its money at women-led startups. Enter Dr. Piraye Yurttas Beim, CEO of Celmatix. She’s secured over $150MM in funding, proving that women’s health isn’t a niche—it’s human health. And yet, she was told to bring a man into meetings just to be taken seriously. Imagine that. The very people shaping the future of medicine still don’t believe women deserve a seat at the table. But Dr. Beim didn’t just take a seat—she built the damn table. Celmatix is making menopause a choice, turning fertility treatments into a simple pill, and forcing the world to recognize that women’s health deserves real innovation. This isn’t just medicine—it’s power, progress, and the future we should have had all along. In this episode, you’ll learn: How Celmatix empowers women to age on their own terms by rethinking menopause as a choice. Ways fertility treatments are getting a major upgrade with revolutionizing fertility treatments by replacing painful injections with a simple daily pill. Discover how infertility treatments unfairly burden women with risks, side effects, and costs. How Dr. Beim defied sexism in venture capital, raising $150 million despite being told to bring a man to investor meetings for credibility. Why neglecting women’s health is more than just a medical issue, it’s bad business.
