What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You About Perimenopause With Your Peri Godmother Shelly Horton : Sole Wellness Podcast EP 65

Are you tired of no one talking honestly about what perimenopause really feels like? If your symptoms are being brushed off, downplayed, or you’ve left the doctor’s office with more confusion than answers - it’s time to take things into your own hands.

Watch On:

I am joined by the unstoppable Shelly Horton, journalist, media commentator, TV host and now author of the brand new book I’m Your Peri Godmother.

With three decades of experience on-screen and behind the scenes, Shelly has built a career on calling it like it is and today she is doing exactly that as she breaks down the taboos around women’s health we’re all tired of tip toeing around. 

Whether you’re looking for the confidence to advocate for yourself, want to understand what to actually expect, or simply need to feel validated in your experience, then today’s episode is a must listen… 

You’ll learn:

  • What no one is telling you about perimenopause…

  • The real life symptoms that took Shelly completely by surprise (yes, rage was one of them)

  • What Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is and why women are constantly being denied it

  • Why men need to be educated on perimenopause and menopause just as much as women 

  • How to navigate shame, criticism and self-worth as a woman going through menopause

  • The number one confidence building habit Shelly swears by (it’s not what you think)

  • How to find your voice, especially when it feels like you’ve lost it 

… and SO much more.
