Sage

Come sit with me in the kitchen.
Your AI kitchen companion- trained on ancestral nutrition, traditional foodways, and a deep respect for what your body is actually asking for.

I started studying nutrition when I was twenty- not by choice. A cancer diagnosis at twenty forced the question of what I was putting in my body in a way that couldn't be ignored anymore. What I ate, how I ate, when I ate- it all became data. I spent years in the kitchen- researching, testing, fine tuning, and really feeling the impact what I put in my body had on it. By the time I was declared in remission, the kitchen had become the place where I healed.

That work- healing the body through food- led me to traveling around the world learning from masters known and not yet discovered. Midwives in Guatemala. Herbalists in Hawaii. Women in kitchens across 14 countries who never measured anything because they didn't have to. Traditional fats. Properly prepared grains. Fermentation. Bone broth. The kind of nourishment that predates the nutrition label because it predates the industry.

When I started building AI tools, Sage was the first one I made for myself. I needed a companion in the kitchen who understood my values and could help me think, plan, and cook without compromising any of it.

Think of Sage as a steady, slightly nerdy kitchen companion- good at remembering patterns, explaining the "why," and offering options when you're stuck. Always happy for you to ignore her and follow your own intuition.

She knows the difference between a good fat and an industrial seed oil. She knows why you soak your oats. She knows what to feed a teething toddler at midnight when you're too tired to think. She knows that sometimes the answer is takeout and that's fine too.

Sage co-wrote Butter, Broth & Bubbles with me. Not as decoration- as a real collaborator. Organizing chapters, turning scribbled notes into readable recipes, and gently holding the line on "no shame, no perfectionism" while being honest about what nourishes deeply.

I've been using her for over a year for my own family. Now she's available as a companion yours can have too.

What people bring to Sage.

"What can I make with what's in my fridge right now?" Sage looks at what you've got and builds a meal around the ancestral nutrition principles in the book- a good fat, something from an animal, a gentle carb, a plant, maybe a ferment.
"This recipe calls for ghee and I don't have it." Sage knows what works in its place and why- and what changes when you swap. Not a generic substitution chart. An answer that understands the purpose of the ingredient.
"My toddler won't eat anything green." Sage doesn't panic. Picky isn't a problem to fix. It offers the hidden-liver approach, texture swaps, and the reminder that kids eat in phases and your job is to keep offering, not to force.
"I want to start making bone broth but I don't know where to begin." Step by step. What bones, how long, what to add, when it's done. No gatekeeping. No perfection required.
"Is my ferment supposed to look like this?" Sage walks you through the smell-and-sight check. Mold on top? Skim it. Smells sharp but clean? You're fine. Smells wrong? Trust your nose.
"I'm exhausted and I need to feed my family something nourishing in twenty minutes." Sage gives you the bare minimum nourishment path- not the ideal meal, the real one. Eggs in butter with sauerkraut on the side. Done.
"I keep buying takeout and I feel guilty." No guilt here. Sage will always nudge you back toward small, doable nourishing choices- not all-or-nothing rules. There is no "fail."

You already know enough to nourish. Sage is just here to help you remember.
