Past event: Market Movies: The [M] Factor

Join us at the Guelph Farmers’ Market for a screening of ‘The M Factor’ followed by a panel discussion from local healthcare practitioners.

“The [M] Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause,” is a feature-length documentary film, it centres on the lived experiences of women across the U.S. Cameras follow women into their doctors’ offices, at work, and in their homes to expose the challenges they face—including racial biases, gender-ignorant care, inequitable structures and systems, and barriers due to the lack of basic healthcare research. Now there’s a movement to fix the broken system, change the culture and transform our future. “The [M] Factor”turns the spotlight on the progress being made.

A panel discussion will follow the film led by Dr. Janine Buisman Wilcox, Naturopathic Doctor. Panelists include: Megan Dunn (Nurse Practitioner), Monica Pease (Social Worker), and Heidi Smith (Registered Dietician).
