SUMMARY:The (M) Factor 2: Before the Pause (Perimenopause)
DESCRIPTION:The (M) Factor 2: Before the Pause (Perimenopause) is presented by Dr. Amy Hawkins\, ND\, MSCP with co-hosts Caroline Keeler\, PT and Dr. Nadine Antonelli\, MD\, FACOG\, MSCP. \n“This film begins the conversation when women need it most and when prevention and planning can make the biggest impact\,” says producer Denise Pines. \nWe’re passionate about bringing you this documentary film screening because we work with women every day who’ve been told that symptoms like exhaustion\, brain fog\, anxiety\, insomnia\, weight gain\, or simply feeling like something is “off” is normal and “just part of getting older.” We know that this isn’t true and that women can thrive in midlife with the right knowledge and support. Perimenopause can begin as early as a woman’s mid-30s and last up to a decade\, and even though every woman will go through this transition\, it still remains widely underdiagnosed and misunderstood. This evening with us is a chance for you to explore the truth around perimenopause and then have a meaningful conversation and Q&A with your hosts. If you’ve been looking for clarity and guidance in this phase of life\, then this event is for you. \nSeats are limited\, so gather up your perimenopause besties and get your tickets today! \nDoors open: 5:30 PM \nWelcome and Introductions: 6:00 PM \nScreening start time: 6:15 PM \nPost-screening discussion: 7:15 PM

SUMMARY:CLASSICAL CONNECTIONS: FEATURING TIFT MERRITT
