Why is my mood changing?
Why is my body changing so quickly
Where do I find a provider who actually listens?
Why can't I sleep like I used to?
Why do I feel foggy or unlike myself?
Why did no one prepare me for this?

SPECIAL SUMMIT EXPERIENCE
Changing the
Conversation
with The (M) Factor
Experience a special screening of The (M) Factor Shredding the Science on Menopause, the groundbreaking documentary helping change how we talk about menopause.
Through real stories and expert voices, the film shines a light on the health, workplace, and personal realities millions of women experience-often without the answers or support they deserve.
At the Menopause Wellness Summit, the conversation doesn't end when the film does. It's where it begins.
Watch it. Talk about it.
Be part of what changes next.
This Is Where the Conversation Changes.
Menopause is not the end of your energy, confidence, beauty, purpose, or strength.
It is a powerful transition.
And with the right education, trusted experts, practical tools, and community, it can become a turning point.
A place where you
stop guessing.
A place where you
stop blaming yourself.
A place where you
start asking better questions.
A place where you
begin to see what is possible on the other side.

Why Menopause Education Matters
Menopause is a natural transition, but its effects can reach far beyond hot flashes. Understanding what changes in midlife gives women the opportunity to ask better questions, make informed decisions, and advocate for their health.

Heart Disease: CDC - Over 60 million U.S. women live with heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women. After menopause, women face a higher risk of coronary heart disease due to hormonal changes.
Breast Cancer: CDC - Most breast cancers are found in women age 50 and older. Risk increases with age. Understanding breast health, screening, and prevention is critical in midlife.
Diabetes: Office on Women's Health - About 15 million women in the United States have diabetes (approximately 1 in every 9 adult women). After menopause, changes in weight and waist circumference can raise the risk for type 2 diabetes.
Work Impact: Mayo Clinic research reports menopause symptoms cost the U.S. an estimated $1.8 billion annually in lost work time, with additional medical costs estimated at $26.6 billion.
