The [M ]Factor 2: Before The Pause (Perimenopause) Screening

This is not a medical lecture—and it’s definitely not a quiet night in.

Join us for an unforgettable evening OUT featuring film, conversation, and community—centered on perimenopause, menopause, and prevention. Whether you’re already experiencing symptoms, preparing for what’s ahead, or simply curious, this night is for you.

A film and conversation on perimenopause and prevention.

We’re excited to present The [M] Factor 2: Before the Pause (Perimenopause), a powerful new film exploring perimenopause symptoms, solutions, and real women’s stories.

From the producers of the groundbreaking documentary The [M] Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause, this next chapter continues the vital conversation about women’s hormones, health, and the changes that shape this stage of life.

Blending expert insights with women’s lived experiences, the film explores how perimenopause affects:

• Brain health, mood, and cognition
• Heart and bone health
• Sexual health, intimacy, and identity

Most importantly, it highlights the solutions helping women thrive—not just cope—through perimenopause and beyond.

Following the screening, join us for an expert-panel live discussion and Q&A with
Terrilee Jackel, Nurse Practitioner and Founder of New Day Health & Hormones, along with her team of local perimenopause wellness professionals. This is a supportive, judgment-free space to ask your biggest questions about perimenopause, menopause, and what comes next.

Presented by New Day Health & Hormones, an exclusive IOWA screening and conversation you don’t want to miss!
