The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause

A silent epidemic affects millions of American women, resulting in billions in lost wages, upended careers, family disruptions, and emotional chaos. “The (M) Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause” confronts the neglected menopause crisis, challenging societal and medical shortcomings, and advocating for a revolutionary approach to women’s health in America where she’s prepared for midlife.

With insights from renowned experts including Dr. Sharon Malone, Dr. Somi Javaid, Dr. Mary Jane Minkin (Yale School of Medicine), Dr. Wen Shen (Johns Hopkins Medicine), and Dr. Stephanie Faubion (Mayo Clinic and The Menopause Society), the film dispels myths about hormone replacement therapy, evaluates over-the- counter supplements, and addresses how women of color uniquely experience menopause. “The M Factor” empowers women to make informed health decisions and aims to remove the stigma surrounding menopause and aging.

Post-film small group facilitated discussions around aging and women’s health.
