Biologic Therapies—Transforming Arthritis Treatment and Lives

September is Arthritis Awareness Month, and with more than 60 million Americans affected, it’s the perfect time to spotlight new hope in treatment. In this episode, we explore Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA)—two of the most debilitating autoimmune forms—and uncover how biologic therapies are reshaping the future of care.

From targeted immune modulation to real-world stories of restored mobility and energy, we break down:

• The difference between RA, PsA, and common “wear and tear” arthritis
• How biologics like Actemra, Cimzia, Remicade, Orencia, Rituxan, Simponi Aria, and Skyrizi precisely target inflammation
• The impact on daily life—less pain, less fatigue, more freedom
• Lifestyle strategies that complement treatment: movement, nutrition, stress management, sleep, and therapy

We also highlight the role of specialized infusion centers like Sage Infusion, where expert care, comfort, and streamlined access help patients focus on living well—not navigating barriers.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or curious about the latest breakthroughs, this episode will leave you informed and empowered.

When it comes to vaccines and advanced therapies, timing is everything. In this episode, we explore how immunizations intersect with cutting-edge biologic treatments—revealing why vaccine planning is more than a checklist item; it’s a critical part of patient safety and care.

Learn the difference between live and inactive vaccines, why certain shots must never be given during specific therapies, and why others are required before treatment can even begin. From managing risk to empowering patients, we dive into how proactive vaccine planning helps both providers and patients navigate complex care with confidence.

Whether you're on a biologic, starting infusion therapy, or supporting someone who is—this episode unpacks what you need to know, when you need to know it.

When we think of healthcare, we often picture doctors, hospitals, and treatment plans. But there’s another force working quietly behind the scenes every day—caregivers. In this July episode of Sage Infusion: Deep Dive, we explore the vital, often invisible role caregivers play in the lives of people living with chronic illnesses.

Drawing from the July 2025 Sage Infusion Health News feature "Caring Beyond the Cure" and the practical wisdom of Sage Infusion Caregiver Tips, we examine the emotional, physical, and logistical challenges caregivers face—whether they're family members or trained professionals—and how their support can be the difference between simply surviving and truly living.

From Alzheimer’s and ALS to MS, CIDP, and myasthenia gravis, we break down what caregiving looks like across different conditions, and offer real strategies to help caregivers provide compassionate, sustainable care—while also protecting their own well-being. We also shine a light on organizations like Sage Infusion that aim to ease the burden through patient-centered care and practical support.

This episode is a call to recognize caregivers not as background helpers—but as essential partners in healthcare. Tune in to hear their stories, challenges, and how we can all do more to support these unsung heroes.

But there’s also hope: we highlight five groundbreaking therapies—like Restigo, Soliris, and Vivgard-Hytrulo—that are changing the game for patients.
