Dr. Cortez Appearing in The M Factor – Shredding the Silence of Menopause

The (M) Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause is a relevant and timely documentary exploring why we need to rethink the way women’s health at midlife is treated in this country. Menopause represents a significant transition in women’s lives, with physical and emotional changes that can have long-term consequences from cardiovascular disease and bone loss to dementia. Despite its universality, the healthcare system inadequately prepares physicians to address menopause and its symptoms so women’s health concerns are largely ignored or attributed to age-related illness, leading to the silence and suffering of millions of women.
