Menopause Matters
A documentary Project in development
Women in their 40s, 50s & beyond are suffering.
Every day they deal with mood shifts, depression, hot flashes, incontinence, screwed up sleep and so much more.
And help is hard to come by. The medical establishment is SEVERELY under-trained in the area of women’s health, especially when it comes to menopause. Women’s complaints are all too often mis-diagnosed or dismissed altogether.
So, despite the fact that HALF OF THE POPULATION will deal with these drastic physical and emotional changes in their lifetime, most of them will end up suffering in silence.
Menopause Matters is an upcoming documentary project prepared to tackle the complications surrounding menopause head on.
If you or some you know has a menopause or perimenopause story you’d like to share, please consider completing our confidential form HERE.
