The (M) Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause
More than a movie, it's a movement
This documentary helped bring menopause to the U.S. Senate
In 2024, lawmakers gathered inside the Capitol to talk about menopause, and The (M) Factor opened the conversation. The screening kicked off a powerful Senate briefing on the medical and societal gaps women face in midlife. What began as a documentary has become a movement viewed by millions, taught in medical schools, screened in workplaces and government settings, and even featured at the World Economic Forum.

Menopause remains one of the last taboos in our talk-about-everything society
We created The (M) Factor to shine a light on the unspoken challenges women face during menopause, revealing the gaps in medical education, the disparities in treatment, and the true impact on our physical and mental health. This film is about empowering every woman to take control of her health and advocate for change.
The Impact of The (M) Factor
The (M) Factor has had 1,000 screenings in 45 countries. The film was invited to Davos to join the conversation on women in the workplace. About 25 percent of our audience are clinicians, so the film is helping train the people who care for women in menopause. We were also invited to a Senate briefing, and on November 13, 2024, menopause was mentioned on the Senate floor for the first time.
The Facts
Two films, one conversation
The conversation continues every week on The Tamsen Show and in my New York Times bestseller, How to Menopause.
