“Menopause is the one universal female experience....You may not have a lot of things that affect women. Menopausal, I guarantee you, you will be.”
—Sharon Malone, OBGYN
“The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause” is the first US documentary exploring the hidden impact of menopause on women's lives. With 55 million women in the United States currently experiencing menopause, this life stage is
often surrounded by silence and misinformation, exacerbating the broader crisis in women’s health.
Menopause symptoms can derail careers, disrupt relationships, and cause unnecessary suffering. This film presents evidence-based solutions to challenge the negativity associated with menopause and empowers women to take control of their health. Women of all walks of life open up about the physical and mental anguish they live with every day. Doctors and policymakers speak out on the changes that need to be made, especially in the workplace where roughly 44% of women are over the age of 45. While some women experience mild symptoms, many face issues ranging from hot flashes and weight gain to anxiety and fatigue. 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.
