About MenopauseStage
MenopauseStage exists to answer menopause questions properly — with the mechanism explained, the numbers sourced, and the uncertainty admitted where it exists.
Who created this site
Tracy Yan
Medical Editor
Tracy Yan is a medical editor at a medical communications agency, where her work involves appraising clinical literature and preparing it for professional audiences. She writes MenopauseStage with every factual claim traced to a named guideline or peer-reviewed study, listed in full at the foot of each article.
Disclosure: Tracy is not a licensed clinician and does not provide medical advice. Articles are written from published clinical guidance and research; they are not individually reviewed by a practising physician.
Why we say so
Much menopause content online carries no name at all, which leaves you with no way to judge who decided what to tell you. We would rather say plainly what a medical editor can and cannot do: read the literature and report it accurately — but not examine you, not diagnose you, and not stand in for your doctor.
You should also know where this sits alongside the day job. Tracy is a medical editor at a medical communications agency — she is not employed by a pharmaceutical company, though such companies are the agency’s clients. Nothing published on this site is commissioned, funded, reviewed or seen in advance by any employer or client, and no article is written on anyone’s behalf. You are entitled to know the connection exists and to read accordingly.
How the articles are made
Facts come from clinical guidelines and peer-reviewed research, and every figure or mechanism is numbered to a source at the foot of the article so you can check it. Our editorial policy sets out the process in full.
Corrections and contact
If something here is wrong, we want to know. Write to contact@menopausestage.com — particularly if you can point to the guideline or study that says otherwise. Substantive corrections are made promptly and noted on the page.
