M Factor 2: Before the Pause [Perimenopause]

Event

Screening and Conversation.

Hot flushes aren't the beginning. They are the aftermath.

Perimenopause is the long, messy, powerful chapter before menopause when hormones shift, symptoms appear, and millions of women are left wondering, 'Is this just me?'

It affects mental health, careers, relationships, and identity - often in silence. M-Factor 2: Before the Pause pulls back the curtain on the years no one warned us about.

Real Stories. Real Science. Real Impact.

Following the screening, join a powerful, open conversation with an expert panel diving deeper into what perimenopause really means for your bodies, brains, and lives.

Featuring Dr Kelly Teagle, Founder of WellFemme, bringing a clinical lens; Dr Sarah Stephens, Founder of Florentis Health, sharing vital brain-health insights; and Melanie Macoun from The Health Shift, offering practical, life-changing guidance for navigating perimenopause.

Come with questions, leave with clarity and the reassurance that you're not alone
