About this episode
More than half the population will experience menopause if they’re fortunate enough to age. Yet so much of this full-body transformation remains a mystery.
Journalist and filmmaker Tamsen Fadal is out to change that.
Her new documentary The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause premiered on PBS earlier this year. In it, her team interviews patients and health experts worldwide about the lack of research into this important stage of life.
On this week’s episode of Well, Now Kavita and Maya ask her what can be done to better care for the millions of women experiencing it now and in the future.
