About 2 MILLION women in the United States begin perimenopause every year. Yet for generations, this major stage of women’s health has been misunderstood, under-recognized, and simply not talked about enough.It’s time to change the narrative.
WOMXNHOUSE Detroit and Femology present The M Factor 2: Before the Pause, a film screening + conversation that brings the realities of perimenopause into the open.
From changing periods, hot flashes, and disrupted sleep to shifts in mood, weight, sexual health, and overall well-being, millions of women experience changes they may not have been prepared for. And the menopausal transition can last several years. We’re talking about it. We’re learning together. And we’re creating space for women to be informed, supported, and heard.
