Our Mission:

Pioneering Preventive Health Technology for Optimal Longevity

I'm building the future of personalized health optimization through advanced biomarker tracking—because preventive medicine is always more effective than reactive treatment.

MY STORY

From Healthcare Industry Leader to Preventive Health Innovator

After two decades in the healthcare industry—leading teams at major multinational health and nutrition companies—I consistently encountered the same fundamental problem: our medical system isn't designed for prevention or longevity optimization.

Even in premium concierge medicine practices, where patients invest thousands for personalized care, individuals were overwhelmed with complex health data but lacked a clear, actionable roadmap for optimal health and longevity.

This observation led me to ask a transformative question: What if we could harness the most powerful insights from precision medicine and advanced biomarker analysis and make them accessible to everyone through innovative technology?

The answer became Sage — a platform I specifically designed to help people optimize their health through comprehensive biomarker tracking long before symptoms ever appear.

Most people assume they're healthy simply because they feel fine and their basic lab work shows "normal" results. However, the most significant threats to longevity and healthspan—cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and cognitive decline—develop silently for years before noticeable symptoms appear.

The current healthcare model follows a predictable but limited pattern:

You complete an annual physical examination
Your doctor orders standard laboratory panels that miss critical health markers
If nothing falls outside conventional "normal" ranges, you hear: "Everything looks normal"
You leave assuming optimal health—until problems develop years later that could have been prevented

But standard "normal" lab results don't equate to optimal health or maximum longevity. You can have elevated ApoB (a scientifically superior predictor of heart disease compared to LDL cholesterol), early insulin resistance, or systemic inflammation—even if your doctor never identifies these issues through conventional testing.

This medical paradigm isn't optimized for healthspan extension or preventive care. It's primarily designed for disease management—meaning most individuals don't implement crucial interventions until they've already developed health conditions that could have been prevented.

I believe optimal health extends beyond the mere absence of disease—it exists on a spectrum best understood and measured through functional capacity across multiple systems.

Functional health is measurable, quantifiable, and improvable. When enhanced, it increases not just lifespan but healthspan—the quality years of life spent in excellent health, not merely survival.

Physical Function

Beyond basic metrics like weight or muscle mass, physical function encompasses mobility, cardiovascular efficiency, recovery capacity, and sustainable activity. We measure this through objective metrics like VO2 max, grip strength, flexibility, and other functional assessments.

Cognitive Function

Your brain serves as your health command center. Cognitive function includes memory processing, problem-solving capacity, and neuroplasticity—essential components for preventing cognitive decline and maintaining optimal mental performance throughout life.

Emotional Function

Health optimization isn't purely biological—it's deeply influenced by emotional wellbeing. Stress resilience, adaptive coping mechanisms, and supportive relationship networks are critical components of comprehensive health and longevity.

Metabolic Function

Your body's complex biochemical systems drive everything from cellular energy production to inflammation regulation and lipid metabolism. We track this through comprehensive biomarkers including advanced blood panels, detailed lipid profiles, inflammatory markers, and hormone assessments.

Behavioral Function

Foundational to all health is consistent behavior—can you implement and sustain healthy choices? Behavioral function determines whether positive health changes become lasting improvements rather than temporary adjustments.

THE SAGE DIFFERENCE

Preventive Medicine 3.0:

The Future of Personalized Health Optimization

Healthcare has evolved through three transformative phases:

Medicine 1.0: Pre-modern era—symptom-driven, reactive, limited scientific understanding
Medicine 2.0: Scientific revolution—antibiotics, vaccines, evidence-based interventions focused primarily on treating established disease
Medicine 3.0: Today's emerging revolution—precision, personalized healthcare based on prevention, comprehensive biomarker tracking, and AI-driven health insights

With Sage, I'm building Medicine 3.0 into an accessible platform for everyone, not just those with access to expensive concierge healthcare services.

Advanced Cardiovascular Health Markers

ApoB and Lipoprotein(a)—scientifically superior predictors of cardiovascular risk beyond standard cholesterol testing
LDL particle size, number, and oxidized LDL—revealing deeper insights into arterial health and inflammation

Comprehensive Metabolic Health Markers

Fasting insulin and HOMA-IR calculation—detecting insulin resistance years before glucose abnormalities appear
Triglyceride/HDL ratio—a powerful indicator of metabolic function and cardiometabolic health

Inflammatory Biomarkers

High-sensitivity CRP—identifying hidden systemic inflammation driving disease progression
Homocysteine—linked to cardiovascular disease risk and cognitive health

Complete Hormone Assessment

Comprehensive thyroid panel—analyzing beyond basic TSH to reveal subtle thyroid dysfunction
Detailed sex hormone testing—identifying hormonal imbalances affecting energy, cognitive function, and metabolic health

Nutritional Optimization

Vitamin D and Omega-3 Index—critical markers for immune, neurological, and cardiovascular function
Comprehensive micronutrient analysis—identifying deficiencies impacting cellular energy production and repair

Our privacy-first approach means:

Your health data remains securely on your device, not in cloud storage
We never sell, share, or analyze your personal health information
You maintain complete control over what's shared and with whom
No subscription required to access your own comprehensive health data
Total transparency about our privacy-focused technology architecture

I built Sage with privacy protection as a fundamental principle, not an afterthought or marketing feature.

My journey to creating Sage began with over two decades in the healthcare industry, where I witnessed firsthand the limitations of reactive medicine and traditional medical approaches. My passion for preventive health optimization and data-driven health tracking led me to develop Sage — bringing the benefits of advanced biomarker analysis and personalized health insights to everyone, not just those with access to premium healthcare services.

I'm combining my extensive healthcare industry expertise with a mission to democratize access to personalized health optimization through innovative technology. My vision is a world where individuals can take control of their health journey through better information, clearer guidance, and proactive biomarker monitoring for maximum healthspan.
