Julia Newbould, host of the Stella Podcast interviews Shelly Horton. Shelly Horton, the Peri-Godmother and author of I’m Your Peri-Godmother – a happily-ever-after guide to kicking perimenopause in the ovaries.

Shelly Horton is a journalist, television presenter and health advocate who thought menopause was for old ladies and wassimply hot flushes and no more periods. She’d never heard of “perimenopause” until she went from kicking ass in her career to waking up in ICU because her hormones staged a full-blown peri-mutiny. After meticulous research to get through this, she felt armed to help other women navigate their ownperi-menopause journeys.
