The fear of losing yourself often arrives long before any diagnosis. It’s in the hesitation mid-sentence, the search for a word that used to come easily, the quiet dread you don’t say out loud.

Yet sage has been studied for its ability to help preserve the chemical messengers that underlie memory and attention, offering a subtle but meaningful nudge to a changing brain.
Used regularly, it becomes less about chasing a cure and more about building a ritual: a pan sizzling with olive oil and sage, a warm mug of tea before bed, a conscious choice to care for your future mind. It’s a small, steady act of defiance against decline—a way of saying that while you can’t control everything, you can still nourish the part of you that remembers.
