About the event

"Shredding the Silence on Menopause" is an important message, and we'd love for you to join this important screening and discussion, panel discuss and networking disco.

The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause film explores the hidden impact of menopause on women's lives. Menopause has ramifications beyond just an individual woman's well-being. The far-ranging results of women enduring untreated menopause include billions of dollars in lost wages, upended careers, family disruptions, and emotional chaos.

With evidence-based information, the film empowers women to make informed health decisions and aims to remove the stigma surrounding menopause and aging.

This feature-length documentary film centers on the lived experiences of women across the U.S. Cameras follow women into their doctors' offices, at work, and in their homes to expose the challenges they face, including racial biases, gender-ignorant care, inequitable structures and systems, and barriers due to the lack of basic midlife healthcare research.

Now there's a movement to fix the broken system, change the culture and transform our future. "The (M) Factor" turns the spotlight on the progress being made — with input from emboldened physicians, healthcare advocates and leaders in the menopause movement.
