Food support for steadier days.

Simmerstate helps turn mood, energy, sleep, stress, focus, appetite, and real-life constraints into meals you can actually make.

SMILES Trial, 2017

32% remission in depression vs. 8% control. NNT 4.1.

Clinical reference

63,000 words. 20 conditions. Full food-drug interaction coverage.

Cooking framework

Five levels — from full kitchen to open a tin and eat from it.

Safety framework

Food-medication awareness and crisis resources built in.

The gap

Therapy is Tuesday at 4. Dinner is every night.

Therapy can’t cook dinner.

Your therapist is brilliant in the hour you have. The other hundred and sixty-seven are still yours to feed.

Supplements aren’t a meal.

The right food at the right hour does more for your mood than anything that comes in a bottle.

Sleep starts at 6 p.m.

What you eat at dinner is what your brain uses to sleep, and what you wake up with.

The thesis

Food is one of the most underused mental health tools we have. It is also the one you practice every day — in your kitchen, at your own pace. Simmerstate helps you make that practice real.— a place where steadiness is built, meal by meal, alongside the professionals in your corner.

How it works

Three steps, every week.

  1. Step one

    Tell Beckie how you feel.

    A two-minute check-in tells her what your week needs — sleep, energy, steadiness, or all three.

  2. Step two

    She plans your week.

    Beckie builds your week of meals — with a grocery list and prep guide ready to download or share.

  3. Step three

    She coaches you through the cooking.

    A real chef in your pocket, patient as hell, there for every question and every pan.

Meet Beckie

A chef, a planner, and a patient listener.

Beckie is your kitchen-side planning assistant. She builds your meals, generates your grocery list, coaches through the prep, and remembers what worked last week. She is not a therapist, and she will never pretend to be one.

What Beckie does, and what she won’t

For clinicians

An adjunct to care, not a replacement.

Simmerstate is designed to work alongside clinical treatment, not replace it. Structured food support that complements what your patients are already doing.

“I cooked for people with anxiety, insomnia, and grief before I knew I was treating any of it. Then I got trained, got humble, and built this.”
Robbie Rensel — founder, CIA-trained chef
