One of the country's leading voices on women's health, Dr. Jennifer Ashton, chief medical correspondent for ABC News, is a popular keynote speaker and moderator. In addition to her work with ABC for the last five years, Ashton is a board-certified OB-GYN and is board-certified in obesity medicine.
Ashton covered the medical crises brought on by the recent devastating hurricanes in Houston and Puerto Rico, speaking with first responders and medics on the ground. She also reported from Las Vegas after the mass shooting in October, and her coverage after the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando last year garnered her an Emmy Award.
Ashton is one of the few physicians with media platforms who still sees patients and has an active medical practice for women's gynecology and obesity/weight management.
Ashton is a frequent keynote speaker and moderator for associations specializing in topics ranging across women's health, wellness, and prevention. She is committed to improving the lives of girls and women through increasing health literacy and busting myths that have been propagated with little medical or scientific basis. Some of her keynote speaking topics include Women's Health in the Media; Nutrition in the Media: Why Is There So Much Controversy?;The Hockey Doc: Where Title IX Has Failed Female Athletes and What to Do about It?; and more.
The author of three books -- Eat This Not That When Expecting, The Body Scoop for Girls, and Your Body Beautiful -- Ashton also writes a monthly column, "Ask Dr. Ashton," in Cosmopolitan.
