Our Host

Our host Shelly Horton, a TV journalist and women’s health advocate, runs her own company ShellShocked Media.
She has been a longtime advocate for women's health including publicly speaking up about, and even campaigning in parliament,
to destigmatise topics previously considered taboo, including a woman's choice to be childfree, light bladder leakage, dense breasts,
heavy periods, perimenopausal depression, and all aspects of menopause.
