The (M) Factor 2: Before the Pause - Menopause & Women’s Health Film

Following the incredible success of last year’s sold-out screening that welcomed 350 women and raised $4,500 for local women’s health, is proud to host The (M) Factor 2: Before the Pause at Metro Cinema in Edmonton.

This powerful documentary explores perimenopause, the often unrecognized phase before menopause that can affect women for years. Many women begin noticing changes in their late 30s or 40s, mood shifts, sleep disruption, anxiety, brain fog, cycle changes, yet are told everything looks “normal.” This film gives language to those experiences and helps connect the dots.

The (M) Factor 2: Before the Pause brings together lived experiences, expert insight, and evidence-based information to challenge outdated narratives around women’s midlife health. It’s not about fear or fixing women. It’s about understanding what’s happening, feeling validated, and knowing there are options.

This screening is hosted by , one of Edmonton’s leading naturopathic clinics, led by , ND. Dr. Botsford and members of her clinical team will be in attendance for an in-person discussion following the film, offering grounded, clinical perspective and space for meaningful conversation.

This is more than a movie night. It’s a chance to sit in a room with other women who get it, to learn, reflect, and feel less alone in a phase of life that’s too often minimized or misunderstood.

In keeping with the spirit of last year’s event, a portion of ticket proceeds will be donated to the , supporting women’s health initiatives right here in our community.

Whether you’re experiencing perimenopause now, starting to notice changes, or simply want to better understand what’s ahead, this evening offers insight, connection, and clarity.
