Grand Rapids, Michigan (Vocus/PRWEB) November 30, 2010
Hundreds of women have been flocking to the film debut of "Hot Flash Havoc - a film of Menopausal Proportions" within the past two months. In Washington D. C. over 400 women attended its National debut, while in Aspen, Colorado and Grand Rapids, Michigan, film events have sold out with audiences exceeding 500 women.
The film includes doctors, clinicians, researchers, journalists, and spokespersons from women’s health foundations who provide the latest facts about menopause as it relates to Women’s Sexual Health, Heart Health, Bone Health, Mental and Physical Health.
“The reason for the excitement”, says Executive Producer Heidi Houston, “is that women have been given conflicting information about how to deal with menopause. Women come away from this film finally understanding what they can do about menopause including the options of hormone replacement therapy to help significantly improve their quality of life. The NIH has done a disservice to women over the past ten years by allowing the media to release alarmist headlines about potential risks with no information about the many benefits of HRT."
Topics covered in the film include:
Understanding Perimenopause, Menopause, & Post-menopause Understanding Hormones: Estrogen, Progesterone & Testosterone. Being Sexual & Having Orgasms into Your 80’s Sex Drive vs. Loss of Libido Vaginal Pleasure vs. Vaginal Dryness Alert Mind & Memory vs. Dementia Maintenance of Memory & Brain Function Bone Health vs. Osteoporosis Heart Health vs. Heart Attacks & Strokes Positive Outlook & Moods vs. Depression & Mood Swings Restful Sleep vs. Sleeplessness & Fatigue Skin Rejuvenation vs. Dry Skin Vitality & Energy vs. Fatigue & Weight Gain Keeping Membranes Moist: Eyes, Nose, Mouth, & Vagina Healthy Bladder Functions vs. Incontinence Healthy Hair vs. Hair Loss Healthy Joints vs. Joint Pain Muscle Strength vs. Loss of Muscle Tone Hot Flash Havoc was inspired by Executive Producer Heidi Houston, who began to have health symptoms that were the precursor to menopause. Thinking that these were health disorders, she sought medical advice. Her journey took her to six different doctors, clinics and medicine men to seek answers. After three years of misdiagnosis of her symptoms she finally got answers from an expert. The physician concluded that each symptom was not a health problem but menopause. Houston decided to pursue the goal of creating a film in order to help all women know factual information about menopause so that they could become their own health care advocate and make enlightened decisions throughout their lives. She wanted to create a film about menopause where Hollywood entertainment crossed paths with women’s health.
The Film "HOT FLASH HAVOC" has been nominated as an Official Selection for Documentary Category and nominated for Best Documentary Contemporary Issue in the Miami International Film Festival; an Official Selection for the Colorado Film Festival; and an Official Selection in the Aspen Film Festival.
