🎬 The M Factor 2: Before the Pause

Screening & conversation hosted by Pandia Health

Tuesday, March 10 · 5:30–8:00 pm
The Forum, 425 Market Street, San Francisco

Perimenopause has been happening forever. Talking about it? Not so much.

The M Factor 2: Before the Pause brings long-overdue attention to the years before menopause, when symptoms often go unrecognized, dismissed, or misunderstood — at work, at home, and in healthcare. Through honest storytelling and expert perspective, the film exposes a major gap in women’s health and why earlier awareness can change outcomes for women personally and professionally.

Produced by Women in the Room Productions and Take Flight Productions.
👉 Watch the trailer:

Stay after the screening for an engaging, expert-led conversation on what women wish they had known sooner, why the system still hasn’t caught up, and what evidence-based options exist today.
