Whether you’re just beginning to notice symptoms or already in the midst of hormonal shifts, Sage is here to help you feel informed, empowered, and supported.
What is menopause?
Menopause marks the natural end of a woman’s reproductive years, typically occurring between ages 45–55. It is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.
What is perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause. During this time, women may experience fluctuating hormone levels and various symptoms like irregular periods, hot flashes, and mood changes.
What can I expect from my Sage membership?
Sage provides comprehensive perimenopause and menopause care with a focus on personalized treatment and patient education. Our approach includes both hormonal and non-hormonal symptom management tailored to each individual’s needs, along with evidence-based guidance on healthy lifestyle practices. Through expert support and accessible resources, we empower women to better understand their bodies and take control of their menopause transition with confidence.
