Overview

This groundbreaking film explores the unspoken realities of perimenopause and menopause, something that's impacting over three million Australian women right now—yet so many are navigating it in the dark.

A staggering 66 per cent of women don't even know what perimenopause is, and when symptoms start. They're totally unprepared, confused, and often scared by what's happening in their body and brain.

Mood swings, brain fog, sleep issues, hot flushes, anxiety—it can feel like everything's shifting, and no one warned you.

8 in 10 women experience symptoms that interfere with daily life

1 in 10 leave their jobs due to unmanaged symptoms

And many go years without the info or support they deserve.

The M Factor is about changing that. It's about truth, visibility, and power.
Let's break the silence, bust the myths, and start really talking about this phase of life.
