BALANCE is a groundbreaking documentary/docuseries aimed at shedding light on the often overlooked and misunderstood phase of a woman’s life: perimenopause. Perimenopause often begins as early as a woman’s thirties and can span more than a decade, making it a significant and enduring aspect of life for women. This docuseries provides a comprehensive exploration of perimenopause, capturing its physical, emotional, and societal impact on women. Through personal stories, expert interviews, and scientifically curated information, BALANCE will illuminate the challenges, triumphs, and complexities of navigating this transitional phase while simultaneously providing desperately needed options and resources available to support a woman’s perimenopause journey.

By 2025 there will be 1 billion menopausal women in the world. Approximately 25 million women in the United States, with many more expected to enter this phase soon, yet there is a significant lack of awareness about it among women, as revealed by a survey conducted by the North American Menopause Society (NAMS). Symptoms of perimenopause are often misunderstood or attributed to other factors, leading to delays in seeking medical care and support. These symptoms, such as hot flashes and mood swings, can profoundly impact women’s quality of life and workplace performance. Healthcare disparities in access to information about perimenopause and treatment exist, particularly among underserved communities, highlighting the need for education initiatives to ensure all women receive accurate support during this transitional phase.

A perimenopause documentary & docuseries is needed now more than ever.
