Health Research

5 prompts

Condition Research Assistant

1/35

<context> Condition: [CONDITION OR DIAGNOSIS] Who has it: [ME / FAMILY MEMBER / SOMEONE I CARE FOR] Current knowledge level: [JUST DIAGNOSED / SOME UNDERSTANDING / WELL-INFORMED] Specific concerns: [LIST] </context> <task> Help me understand this condition thoroughly: 1. Plain-language explanation: what is this condition, what happens in the body, and why 2. Types or stages: are there different forms or progressions I should know about 3. Common symptoms and less-common symptoms to watch for 4. Standard treatment approaches: medications, lifestyle changes, procedures — with brief explanation of each 5. Questions I should ask my doctor at my next appointment (10 specific, informed questions) 6. Lifestyle factors within my control that can influence outcomes 7. Reliable sources for ongoing research: medical organizations, peer-reviewed journals, patient communities IMPORTANT: This is for education and preparing to talk to my doctor, not for self-diagnosis or self-treatment. Flag any area where professional guidance is essential. </task>

Creates a comprehensive educational overview of a health condition with doctor-appointment questions and reliable sources.

💡

Pro tip: Bring Claude's generated question list to your next doctor appointment. Informed patients get better care because they ask better questions and understand the answers.

Lab Results Interpreter

2/35

<context> Lab test type: [BLOOD PANEL / METABOLIC PANEL / THYROID / LIPID / HORMONE / OTHER] Results: [LIST EACH MARKER WITH YOUR VALUE AND THE REFERENCE RANGE] Age: [AGE] Sex: [MALE / FEMALE] Medications: [LIST CURRENT MEDICATIONS] Symptoms: [ANY SYMPTOMS YOU ARE EXPERIENCING] </context> <task> Help me understand my lab results (NOT diagnose — understand): 1. For each marker: what it measures in plain language, whether my value is within range, and what out-of-range values typically indicate 2. Patterns: do any results together suggest something I should discuss with my doctor? 3. Context: how medications I take might affect these results 4. Trends: if I provide previous results, identify any concerning trends 5. Questions to ask my doctor about any flagged results 6. Lifestyle factors that influence each out-of-range marker DISCLAIMER: This is educational interpretation only. My doctor has my full medical history and clinical context that Claude does not. Always follow medical advice from my healthcare provider. </task>

Translates lab results into plain language with pattern identification and doctor-ready questions.

💡

Pro tip: Track your lab results over time. A single out-of-range result is less meaningful than a trend. Ask Claude to compare multiple test results to identify changes.

Medication Research Brief

3/35

<context> Medication: [NAME AND DOSAGE] Prescribed for: [CONDITION] Other medications: [LIST ALL] Concerns: [SIDE EFFECTS / INTERACTIONS / LONG-TERM USE / ALTERNATIVES] </context> <task> Create a medication research brief: 1. How it works: mechanism of action in plain language 2. Expected benefits: what the medication is supposed to do and typical timeline to see effects 3. Common side effects: frequency and severity, which ones typically resolve and which may persist 4. Serious side effects: rare but important warning signs to watch for 5. Drug interactions: known interactions with my other medications 6. Food/supplement interactions: anything to avoid or take at specific times 7. Lifestyle considerations: alcohol, driving, exercise, sun exposure 8. Questions for my doctor: informed questions about this medication This is NOT medical advice. This research helps me have a more informed conversation with my prescribing doctor. </task>

Produces a medication research brief with mechanism, interactions, side effects, and informed doctor-appointment questions.

💡

Pro tip: Claude can cross-reference multiple medications for potential interactions. List ALL medications including supplements when you use this prompt.

Second Opinion Preparation

4/35

<context> Diagnosis: [WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD] Recommended treatment: [WHAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED] My concerns: [WHY I AM CONSIDERING A SECOND OPINION] My understanding of the situation: [DESCRIBE] </context> <task> Help me prepare for seeking a second opinion: 1. Organize my medical situation into a clear, concise summary I can present to a new doctor 2. List the specific questions I should ask the second-opinion doctor 3. Alternative treatment approaches that exist for this condition (so I can ask about them) 4. What medical records and test results to bring 5. How to frame the conversation without seeming confrontational toward my current doctor 6. Red flags vs reasonable concerns — help me distinguish between valid reasons for a second opinion and health anxiety 7. What to do if the two opinions conflict Seeking a second opinion is a normal, responsible part of healthcare. Help me do it effectively. </task>

Prepares a structured second-opinion consultation with organized medical summary, targeted questions, and alternative approaches.

💡

Pro tip: Second opinions are standard medical practice, not disloyal. Doctors expect them for significant diagnoses. A good doctor will support your decision to seek one.

Health Screening Checklist

5/35

<context> Age: [AGE] Sex: [MALE / FEMALE] Family history: [LIST RELEVANT CONDITIONS IN FAMILY] Existing conditions: [LIST] Lifestyle: [SMOKING / ALCOHOL / EXERCISE LEVEL / DIET] Last checkup: [WHEN] </context> <task> Create a personalized preventive health screening checklist: 1. Screenings recommended for my age and sex (blood pressure, cholesterol, cancer screenings, etc.) with recommended frequency 2. Additional screenings based on my family history 3. Vaccinations: which ones I should have by now and which are upcoming 4. Dental and vision checkup schedule 5. Mental health check-in recommendations 6. Lifestyle risk assessment: based on my habits, which screenings are especially important 7. A 12-month health calendar: when to schedule each screening Base recommendations on established medical guidelines (USPSTF, CDC, ACS). Note any screenings where guidelines differ between organizations. </task>

Creates a personalized preventive screening calendar based on age, sex, family history, and lifestyle risk factors.

💡

Pro tip: Print the 12-month calendar and schedule every appointment at once. Preventive care is most effective when you actually do it on schedule, not when you remember.

Nutrition & Diet

5 prompts

Personalized Nutrition Analysis

6/35

<context> Age: [AGE], Sex: [M/F], Weight: [WEIGHT], Height: [HEIGHT] Activity level: [SEDENTARY / LIGHTLY ACTIVE / MODERATELY ACTIVE / VERY ACTIVE] Health goals: [WEIGHT LOSS / MUSCLE GAIN / ENERGY / GUT HEALTH / MANAGING CONDITION] Dietary restrictions: [LIST] Current typical daily diet: - Breakfast: [DESCRIBE] - Lunch: [DESCRIBE] - Dinner: [DESCRIBE] - Snacks: [DESCRIBE] </context> <task> Analyze my current nutrition: 1. Estimated daily calorie intake vs my calculated needs (BMR + activity) 2. Macro breakdown: protein, carbs, fat — actual vs optimal for my goals 3. Micronutrient gaps: based on my typical diet, which vitamins and minerals am I likely missing 4. Meal timing analysis: is my eating pattern supporting or undermining my goals 5. Top 3 easy wins: the smallest changes that would have the biggest nutritional impact 6. Foods to add: specific nutrient-dense foods that fill my gaps 7. Foods to reduce: what is taking up calorie budget without nutritional return This is general nutrition guidance, not a medical dietary plan. For conditions like diabetes or kidney disease, work with a registered dietitian. </task>

Analyzes your current diet against nutritional needs with macro/micro gap identification and easy-win improvements.

💡

Pro tip: Be honest about what you actually eat, not what you wish you ate. Claude can only analyze what you tell it — an accurate food diary produces actionable advice.

Supplement Stack Evaluator

7/35

<context> Current supplements: [LIST EACH — name, dose, brand if known, reason for taking] Diet: [DESCRIBE TYPICAL DIET] Health goals: [LIST] Medications: [LIST] Budget: [MONTHLY SUPPLEMENT BUDGET] </context> <task> Evaluate my supplement stack: 1. For each supplement: evidence rating (strong / moderate / weak / none) for my stated goal 2. Dosage check: is my dose optimal, too low, or too high based on research 3. Timing and absorption: best time to take each, with or without food, any pairings that help or hinder absorption 4. Interaction check: any supplement-supplement or supplement-medication interactions 5. Redundancies: am I getting the same nutrient from multiple sources unnecessarily 6. Gaps: based on my diet and goals, any supplements I should consider adding 7. Cost analysis: monthly cost, and which supplements to cut if budget is tight (keep only the evidence-backed ones) Flag any supplement where consulting my doctor is important before continuing. </task>

Audits your supplement stack for evidence quality, dosing, interactions, redundancies, and cost efficiency.

💡

Pro tip: Most people take more supplements than they need and fewer that they actually benefit from. This audit typically saves money while improving outcomes.

Food Sensitivity Investigation

8/35

<context> Symptoms: [DESCRIBE — bloating, headaches, skin issues, fatigue, digestive problems, etc.] When symptoms occur: [AFTER MEALS / SPECIFIC TIMES / RANDOM] Foods I suspect: [LIST ANY SUSPICIONS] Diet: [DESCRIBE TYPICAL DIET] Tests done: [ANY ALLERGY OR SENSITIVITY TESTS] </context> <task> Help me investigate potential food sensitivities: 1. Based on my symptoms, the most likely food culprits to investigate (with reasoning) 2. A structured elimination protocol: - Phase 1 (2 weeks): remove the top suspect foods, what to eat instead - Phase 2 (reintroduction): add one food back every 3 days, what to track - Phase 3 (personalization): build a long-term eating plan based on findings 3. A daily symptom tracker template: what to log, when, and how to rate symptoms 4. Common mistakes that make elimination diets fail (eating hidden sources of eliminated foods) 5. When to seek professional help (allergist, GI specialist, dietitian) This is an investigative tool to discuss with my doctor, not a diagnostic procedure. </task>

Creates a structured food sensitivity investigation protocol with elimination phases, reintroduction schedule, and symptom tracking.

💡

Pro tip: An elimination diet only works if you are rigorous. Read every label — the food you are testing might be hiding in sauces, seasonings, or processed foods you do not suspect.

Hydration Optimizer

9/35

<context> Weight: [WEIGHT] Activity level: [DESCRIBE] Climate: [HOT / TEMPERATE / COLD / VARIES] Current water intake: [ESTIMATE] Caffeine intake: [DESCRIBE] Alcohol intake: [DESCRIBE] Symptoms that might be dehydration: [FATIGUE / HEADACHES / DRY SKIN / BRAIN FOG / etc.] </context> <task> Optimize my hydration: 1. Calculate my baseline water needs based on weight and activity 2. Adjustment factors: caffeine, alcohol, climate, and exercise 3. A practical daily hydration schedule (when and how much) 4. Signs of dehydration to watch for beyond thirst 5. Electrolyte needs: when plain water is enough vs when I need electrolytes 6. Food sources of hydration: fruits and vegetables that contribute significantly 7. Tools and habits: practical systems for tracking hydration (not just "drink more water") Address whether any of my symptoms could be dehydration-related and how to test that hypothesis. </task>

Calculates personalized hydration needs with a practical schedule, electrolyte guidance, and dehydration symptom analysis.

💡

Pro tip: Chronic mild dehydration is extremely common and mimics many other conditions. Before investigating complex causes for fatigue or headaches, try proper hydration for 2 weeks.

Anti-Inflammatory Eating Guide

10/35

<context> Current health concerns: [JOINT PAIN / SKIN ISSUES / AUTOIMMUNE / GUT ISSUES / GENERAL INFLAMMATION] Current diet: [DESCRIBE] Foods I enjoy: [LIST] Foods I dislike: [LIST] Cooking skill: [BEGINNER / INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED] </context> <task> Create a practical anti-inflammatory eating guide: 1. The top 15 anti-inflammatory foods with specific benefits and how much to eat weekly 2. The top 10 inflammatory foods to reduce with specific alternatives 3. A 7-day anti-inflammatory meal plan using foods I enjoy 4. Spices and herbs with evidence-backed anti-inflammatory properties (with effective daily amounts) 5. An "anti-inflammatory pantry" shopping list to stock my kitchen 6. Timeline: when to expect symptom improvements (set realistic expectations) 7. How to track whether the diet changes are helping: symptoms to monitor and how Base recommendations on research, not trends. Distinguish between strong evidence and preliminary findings. </task>

Creates an evidence-based anti-inflammatory eating guide with meal plans, timelines, and tracking methods.

💡

Pro tip: Anti-inflammatory eating is not a crash diet — it is a long-term eating pattern. Give it 4-6 weeks before evaluating results. Inflammation reduction is gradual, not instant.

Mental Wellness

5 prompts

Stress Management Protocol

11/35

<context> Main stress sources: [WORK / RELATIONSHIPS / FINANCIAL / HEALTH / PARENTING / OTHER] Stress level (1-10): [CURRENT LEVEL] Current coping methods: [LIST — healthy and unhealthy] Time available for stress management: [DAILY MINUTES] Physical symptoms of stress: [DESCRIBE — headaches, tension, insomnia, digestive, etc.] </context> <task> Create a personalized stress management protocol: 1. Stress audit: categorize my stressors as controllable, partially controllable, and uncontrollable 2. For controllable stressors: specific action plans to reduce or eliminate each 3. For uncontrollable stressors: evidence-based coping strategies (not "just relax") 4. Daily stress management routine: a practical sequence I can do in [my available time] 5. Emergency toolkit: 5 techniques for acute stress moments (under 5 minutes each) 6. Weekly stress prevention: habits that build stress resilience over time 7. Body-based approaches: specific exercises, breathing techniques, and physical practices for my physical symptoms 8. When stress management is not enough: signs I should seek professional support Make every recommendation specific and actionable, not generic advice. </task>

Builds a multi-layered stress management system with daily routines, emergency tools, and professional referral criteria.

💡

Pro tip: Stress management is most effective when it addresses the root cause and the symptoms simultaneously. Do not just learn to cope better — also eliminate the stressors you can control.

Journaling Framework

12/35

<context> Goal for journaling: [SELF-AWARENESS / ANXIETY MANAGEMENT / GRATITUDE / PROCESSING EMOTIONS / GOAL TRACKING / GENERAL WELLBEING] Experience with journaling: [NONE / TRIED AND STOPPED / REGULAR] Time available: [MINUTES PER DAY] Preferred format: [HANDWRITING / DIGITAL / VOICE RECORDING] </context> <task> Design a journaling framework tailored to my goal: 1. The specific journaling method best suited to my goal (structured prompts, free writing, bullet journal, CBT-style, gratitude, morning pages, etc.) — explain why this method works 2. A starter template with 5-7 daily prompts I can rotate 3. Weekly reflection prompts (deeper questions for once a week) 4. Monthly review prompts (tracking patterns and growth) 5. How to handle days when I do not want to journal (minimum viable entry) 6. What to do with insights: how to turn journal discoveries into actions 7. Privacy considerations: where to keep it, what to do with difficult entries The framework should take no more than [my time limit] per day and feel sustainable, not like homework. </task>

Creates a structured journaling system with daily, weekly, and monthly prompts tailored to your specific wellness goal.

💡

Pro tip: The most effective journaling method is the one you actually do. Start with 5 minutes and a single prompt. Expand only after the habit is established.

Digital Wellbeing Audit

13/35

<context> Daily screen time estimate: [HOURS] Most-used apps: [LIST] How I feel after heavy phone use: [DESCRIBE] Impact on: sleep [DESCRIBE], productivity [DESCRIBE], mood [DESCRIBE], relationships [DESCRIBE] Previous attempts to change: [DESCRIBE] </context> <task> Conduct a digital wellbeing audit: 1. Usage analysis: categorize my screen time (productive, social, entertainment, mindless scrolling) 2. Impact assessment: map which apps/habits are draining vs enriching my life 3. Trigger identification: what prompts me to reach for my phone (boredom, anxiety, habit, notification) 4. A realistic reduction plan (not digital detox — sustainable change): - Phase 1 (Week 1-2): remove the 3 worst triggers - Phase 2 (Week 3-4): replace screen time with alternatives - Phase 3 (Month 2): build a sustainable digital lifestyle 5. Phone setup optimization: notification settings, app organization, screen time limits 6. Boundary-setting scripts: what to say when people expect instant responses 7. Metrics to track: how to know the changes are improving my wellbeing </task>

Audits digital habits and creates a phased reduction plan with trigger identification and sustainable alternatives.

💡

Pro tip: Do not try to quit your phone. Try to make it boring. Remove color from social media apps, disable notifications, and move addictive apps off your home screen. Friction is your friend.

Burnout Recovery Plan

14/35

<context> Burnout source: [WORK / CAREGIVING / CREATIVE / PARENTING / COMBINATION] Symptoms: [EXHAUSTION / CYNICISM / REDUCED PERFORMANCE / PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS] Duration: [HOW LONG HAVE YOU FELT THIS WAY] Current situation: [CAN YOU TAKE TIME OFF? / MUST KEEP WORKING / PARTIALLY FLEXIBLE] Support available: [DESCRIBE — partner, friends, therapist, financial cushion, etc.] </context> <task> Create a burnout recovery plan within my actual constraints: 1. Burnout assessment: where am I on the burnout spectrum (stressed, burning out, or fully burned out) 2. Immediate triage: 3 things to do this week to stop the bleeding 3. Energy audit: what is draining me vs what gives me energy — map both lists 4. Boundary plan: specific boundaries to set with specific language for each situation 5. Recovery timeline: realistic expectations for how long recovery takes at my stage 6. Daily non-negotiables: 3-5 practices that protect recovery even on the worst days 7. When to seek help: signs I need professional support (therapist, doctor, career counselor) 8. Prevention: once recovered, how to avoid falling back into the same pattern Acknowledge that recovery within a system that caused the burnout is hard. Be honest about what I can and cannot change. </task>

Creates a realistic burnout recovery plan that works within your actual constraints rather than requiring ideal conditions.

💡

Pro tip: Burnout recovery takes 3-12 months depending on severity. Setting expectations for rapid recovery creates more stress. Be patient with yourself and protect your recovery practices fiercely.

Anxiety Toolkit Builder

15/35

<context> Anxiety type: [GENERAL / SOCIAL / HEALTH / PERFORMANCE / SPECIFIC PHOBIA / MIXED] Severity: [MILD / MODERATE / SEVERE] Current in therapy: [YES / NO] Triggering situations: [LIST THE 3-5 MOST COMMON] Physical anxiety symptoms: [DESCRIBE] Current coping methods: [WHAT YOU DO NOW — HELPFUL AND UNHELPFUL] </context> <task> Build a personalized anxiety management toolkit: 1. Understanding my anxiety: what is happening in my brain and body during anxiety (normalize it) 2. In-the-moment tools (for when anxiety spikes): - 3 breathing techniques with exact instructions - 2 grounding exercises tailored to my common situations - 1 cognitive defusion technique (unhooking from anxious thoughts) 3. Daily prevention practices: habits that lower baseline anxiety over time 4. Situation-specific strategies: for each of my triggering situations, a specific game plan 5. Physical symptom management: techniques for each physical symptom I experience 6. Avoidance trap identification: am I avoiding things that would actually reduce anxiety long-term? 7. Professional support: when self-management is not enough and what type of therapy to seek This toolkit complements professional therapy, it does not replace it. </task>

Builds a multi-layered anxiety toolkit with in-the-moment techniques, daily prevention, and situation-specific strategies.

💡

Pro tip: Practice the breathing and grounding techniques when you are calm so they are automatic when you need them. Learning a new technique during a panic attack is like learning to swim while drowning.

Sleep Optimization

5 prompts

Sleep Quality Diagnosis

16/35

<context> Current sleep: [HOURS PER NIGHT] Bedtime: [TIME], Wake time: [TIME] Time to fall asleep: [MINUTES] Night wakings: [NUMBER AND DURATION] Sleep quality rating: [1-10] Morning energy: [REFRESHED / TIRED / EXHAUSTED] Screen time before bed: [DESCRIBE] Caffeine: [AMOUNT AND LAST CUP TIME] Alcohol: [FREQUENCY AND AMOUNT] Exercise: [TIMING AND TYPE] Stress level: [1-10] Bedroom: [TEMPERATURE, LIGHT, NOISE CONDITIONS] </context> <task> Diagnose my sleep quality issues: 1. Based on my data, identify the top 3 most likely causes of poor sleep in priority order 2. For each cause: explain the mechanism (why it disrupts sleep) and the specific fix 3. Quick wins: 3 changes I can make tonight that will improve sleep within days 4. Medium-term improvements: lifestyle adjustments that take 2-4 weeks to show results 5. Sleep environment audit: specific changes to my bedroom setup 6. A redesigned evening routine: hour-by-hour from dinner to lights-out 7. Sleep tracking method: how to monitor whether changes are working 8. Medical red flags: symptoms that suggest a sleep disorder requiring professional evaluation </task>

Identifies the root causes of poor sleep from your specific data and creates a prioritized improvement plan.

💡

Pro tip: Address the most likely cause first, not all of them at once. Changing 5 things simultaneously means you never learn which one actually helped.

Circadian Rhythm Reset

17/35

<context> Current sleep schedule: bed at [TIME], wake at [TIME] Desired schedule: bed at [TIME], wake at [TIME] Shift needed: [EARLIER / LATER / MORE CONSISTENT] Reason for change: [NEW JOB / JET LAG / NIGHT OWL WANTING TO BE EARLY BIRD / SHIFT WORK] Weekend schedule: [DESCRIBE — SAME OR DIFFERENT] Light exposure: [NATURAL LIGHT ACCESS / PRIMARILY INDOOR] </context> <task> Create a circadian rhythm reset plan: 1. Phase shifting protocol: how to move my sleep window gradually (not cold turkey) - Daily shift amount and duration of transition - Light exposure schedule: when to seek light and when to avoid it 2. Morning routine: timed sequence to anchor the new wake time 3. Evening routine: timed wind-down to support the new bedtime 4. Meal timing: how eating schedules reinforce circadian rhythm 5. Weekend strategy: how to maintain the schedule without feeling like I am missing out 6. Supplements: evidence for melatonin timing and dose if applicable 7. Troubleshooting: what to do when the plan is disrupted (late night, travel, social events) This should feel achievable, not militant. A schedule I cannot maintain long-term is useless. </task>

Designs a gradual circadian rhythm reset with light exposure, meal timing, and weekend maintenance strategies.

💡

Pro tip: Light is the most powerful circadian signal. Morning bright light (within 30 minutes of waking) and evening light dimming (2 hours before bed) do more than any supplement.

Sleep Hygiene Overhaul

18/35

<context> Bedroom setup: [DESCRIBE — bed quality, temperature, light sources, noise, devices present] Evening routine: [DESCRIBE — current habits from dinner to sleep] Medications: [LIST — some affect sleep] Health conditions: [LIST — some affect sleep] </context> <task> Overhaul my sleep hygiene with specific, actionable recommendations: 1. Bedroom environment: - Temperature: exact range and how to achieve it - Light: every light source to eliminate and how (specific products if needed) - Sound: noise management strategy - Bed: mattress and pillow assessment - Electronics: what stays, what goes, and where to charge devices 2. Pre-sleep protocol (90-minute countdown): - 90 min before: stop [specific activities] - 60 min before: begin [specific routine] - 30 min before: shift to [final wind-down] - 0 min: lights out routine 3. Sleep-disrupting habits to eliminate (with alternatives) 4. Sleep-promoting habits to build (with implementation plan) 5. Medication and supplement timing optimization Rank every recommendation by impact: high-impact changes first. </task>

Restructures your entire sleep environment and routine with a ranked list of changes ordered by impact.

💡

Pro tip: The bedroom should be for sleep and intimacy only. Remove the TV, the work laptop, and the charging station. Your brain needs to associate this space exclusively with rest.

Insomnia Management Protocol

19/35

<context> Insomnia type: [TROUBLE FALLING ASLEEP / WAKING DURING NIGHT / WAKING TOO EARLY / ALL] Duration: [HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING] What makes it worse: [DESCRIBE] What helps: [DESCRIBE] Mental state at bedtime: [RACING THOUGHTS / ANXIETY / ALERT / TIRED BUT CANNOT SLEEP] Previous solutions tried: [LIST] Sleeping medication: [CURRENT OR PAST USE] </context> <task> Create an insomnia management protocol based on CBT-I principles: 1. Sleep restriction therapy: calculate my sleep efficiency and set an initial sleep window 2. Stimulus control: specific rules for the bedroom and bed 3. Cognitive techniques: how to handle racing thoughts and sleep anxiety 4. Relaxation training: 2-3 techniques with full guided instructions 5. Sleep scheduling: when to go to bed, when to get up, what to do if I cannot sleep after 20 minutes 6. Week-by-week plan: how to adjust the sleep window as sleep improves 7. Progress tracking: what to log and what improvements to expect at 1, 2, and 4 weeks CBT-I is the gold standard for insomnia treatment. If this does not help after 4-6 weeks, recommend seeking a sleep specialist. </task>

Implements a CBT-I based insomnia protocol with sleep restriction, stimulus control, and cognitive techniques.

💡

Pro tip: Sleep restriction sounds counterintuitive — you spend less time in bed initially. But it works by building sleep pressure and breaking the association between bed and wakefulness. Trust the process.

Nap Strategy Guide

20/35

<context> Work schedule: [DESCRIBE — 9-5, shift work, flexible, remote] Energy dip times: [WHEN DO YOU CRASH] Nighttime sleep: [HOURS AND QUALITY] Nap access: [CAN YOU NAP AT WORK / HOME / CAR / NOT EASILY] Current nap habits: [DESCRIBE] </context> <task> Design a strategic nap protocol: 1. Whether I should nap at all based on my nighttime sleep situation (naps can help or harm) 2. Optimal nap timing: the exact window based on my sleep schedule and circadian rhythm 3. Nap duration options: - Power nap (10-20 min): when to use, how to time, alarm strategy - Full cycle nap (90 min): when this makes sense, risks to nighttime sleep - Coffee nap: the protocol and when it is most effective 4. Pre-nap routine: how to fall asleep quickly during the day 5. Post-nap recovery: how to avoid grogginess (sleep inertia) 6. Nap environment optimization: what to do when conditions are not ideal 7. Nap alternatives: for days when napping is not possible, what else restores energy </task>

Creates a strategic nap protocol with timing, duration options, and post-nap recovery techniques.

💡

Pro tip: Set an alarm for 22 minutes (it takes a few minutes to fall asleep). Napping longer than 30 minutes pushes you into deep sleep, and waking from deep sleep causes the groggy feeling that makes naps counterproductive.

Preventive Care

5 prompts

Longevity Action Plan

21/35

<context> Age: [AGE] Current health: [DESCRIBE — conditions, weight, fitness] Family history: [DISEASES/CONDITIONS THAT RUN IN FAMILY] Lifestyle: smoking [Y/N], alcohol [AMOUNT], exercise [FREQUENCY], diet [QUALITY] Biggest health risk: [WHAT CONCERNS YOU MOST] </context> <task> Create an evidence-based longevity action plan: 1. Risk assessment: based on my age, genetics, and lifestyle, what are my top 5 health risks in the next 20 years 2. For each risk: the modifiable factors within my control and the specific action to take 3. The 5 lifestyle changes with the strongest evidence for extending healthy lifespan, customized to my situation 4. Screening and monitoring plan: what to track and how often 5. Mental and social health: evidence on loneliness, purpose, and cognitive health as longevity factors 6. A phased implementation plan: do not change everything at once — what to tackle first, second, third 7. Metrics to track: biomarkers and habits that predict long-term health outcomes Focus on healthspan (years of healthy living), not just lifespan. Living longer while sick is not the goal. </task>

Creates a personalized longevity plan based on your specific risk factors with phased implementation and trackable metrics.

💡

Pro tip: The evidence is clear on the big 5 longevity factors: do not smoke, maintain healthy weight, exercise regularly, eat whole foods, and maintain social connections. Everything else is optimization after these.

Immune System Support Plan

22/35

<context> Current health: [DESCRIBE] How often I get sick: [FREQUENCY] Current supplements: [LIST] Sleep: [HOURS AND QUALITY] Stress level: [1-10] Diet quality: [DESCRIBE] Exercise: [DESCRIBE] Vaccinations: [UP TO DATE?] </context> <task> Create an evidence-based immune support plan: 1. Immune system assessment: based on my lifestyle factors, where are the biggest weaknesses 2. Nutrition: specific foods and nutrients with strong evidence for immune function (not immune "boosting" myths) 3. Sleep: how my current sleep affects immunity and what to improve 4. Exercise: the sweet spot for immune function (too little OR too much can weaken immunity) 5. Stress: how chronic stress suppresses immunity and specific countermeasures 6. Supplement review: which of my supplements have evidence for immune support and which do not 7. Practical daily habits: a simple routine that supports immune function year-round 8. When sick: evidence-based actions to recover faster (not myths) Separate strong evidence from marketing claims. "Immune boosting" is mostly marketing — immune support is real. </task>

Builds an evidence-based immune support plan separating proven strategies from marketing myths.

💡

Pro tip: The most powerful immune interventions are the boring ones: sleep, stress management, exercise, and a nutrient-dense diet. No supplement compensates for sleeping 5 hours a night.

Heart Health Assessment

23/35

<context> Age: [AGE], Sex: [M/F] Blood pressure: [IF KNOWN] Cholesterol: [IF KNOWN — total, LDL, HDL, triglycerides] Family history of heart disease: [DESCRIBE] Weight: [WEIGHT], Height: [HEIGHT] Exercise: [DESCRIBE] Diet: [DESCRIBE] Smoking: [Y/N] Stress: [LEVEL] Current medications: [LIST] </context> <task> Create a heart health assessment and improvement plan: 1. Risk factor analysis: based on my data, assess my cardiovascular risk profile 2. Numbers that matter: which markers I should know and track (not just cholesterol) 3. Diet recommendations: specific foods to add and reduce for heart health, with weekly targets 4. Exercise prescription: type, frequency, duration, and intensity for cardiovascular benefit 5. Stress and heart health: the direct connection and practical interventions 6. Monitoring plan: which tests to get, how often, and what trends to watch 7. Medication considerations: if I am on statins or blood pressure meds, what to discuss with my doctor 8. Emergency awareness: heart attack and stroke warning signs I should know This is educational — work with my doctor for medical decisions. </task>

Assesses cardiovascular risk factors and creates a diet, exercise, and monitoring plan for heart health.

💡

Pro tip: Heart disease is the leading killer, but it is largely preventable. Know your numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar), and take action while they are still in the "watch" range, not the "treat" range.

Posture and Ergonomics Plan

24/35

<context> Work setup: [DESK / STANDING DESK / LAPTOP ON COUCH / MIXED] Hours sitting daily: [HOURS] Current pain or discomfort: [BACK, NECK, WRISTS, SHOULDERS, EYES — DESCRIBE] Exercise habits: [DESCRIBE] Break frequency: [HOW OFTEN DO YOU MOVE] </context> <task> Create a posture and ergonomics improvement plan: 1. Workstation audit: based on my setup, identify specific ergonomic issues 2. Setup optimization: exact monitor height, chair adjustments, keyboard/mouse placement, lighting 3. Postural correction exercises: 5 exercises targeting my specific issues (with instructions) 4. Movement breaks: a timed schedule with specific micro-exercises for each break 5. Stretching routine: a 10-minute sequence addressing desk-worker problem areas 6. Strengthening routine: exercises that fix the root causes (weak glutes, core, upper back) 7. Habit triggers: how to remember to sit properly and take breaks (specific systems, not willpower) 8. Assessment: after 4 weeks, how to evaluate if changes are working Make every recommendation something I can implement at my current workstation, not ideal-world suggestions. </task>

Creates a practical ergonomics and posture plan with workstation corrections, exercises, and habit systems.

💡

Pro tip: The best posture is the next posture. No single position is ideal for hours. The real fix is frequent position changes and movement, not finding the perfect ergonomic setup and sitting perfectly still.

Annual Health Planning Session

<context> Age: [AGE], Sex: [M/F] Last year's health goals: [WHAT DID YOU TRY TO IMPROVE] Health achievements: [WHAT WENT WELL] Health struggles: [WHAT DID NOT WORK] Current conditions: [LIST] Current medications: [LIST] Primary health concern for this year: [DESCRIBE] </context> <task> Facilitate an annual health planning session: 1. Year-in-review: honest assessment of what I achieved, what I tried and dropped, and what I avoided 2. Top 3 health priorities for this year: selected based on impact and achievability 3. For each priority: - Specific, measurable goal - 90-day action plan (not a 12-month plan that falls apart by February) - Weekly habits that support the goal - How to track progress - Contingency: what to do when motivation drops 4. Appointment calendar: screenings, checkups, and follow-ups to schedule this year 5. A quarterly review template: 4 questions to ask myself every 90 days 6. One "non-negotiable" health habit: the single practice I commit to doing every day no matter what Make this actionable and realistic, not aspirational. </task>

Structures an annual health review and planning session with quarterly goals, tracking systems, and one non-negotiable daily habit.

💡

Pro tip: Plan in 90-day blocks, not 12-month goals. A year is too long to maintain motivation. Three months is long enough for real change and short enough to stay focused.

Fitness Nutrition

5 prompts

Pre and Post Workout Nutrition

26/35

<context> Training type: [STRENGTH / CARDIO / HIIT / MIXED] Training time: [MORNING / AFTERNOON / EVENING] Goal: [MUSCLE GAIN / FAT LOSS / PERFORMANCE / GENERAL FITNESS] Dietary restrictions: [LIST] Current pre/post workout eating: [DESCRIBE] </context> <task> Optimize my workout nutrition: 1. Pre-workout (timing and composition): - Ideal timing: how many minutes before training - Macro targets: protein, carbs, fat in grams - 5 specific meal/snack options that meet these targets - What to do if I train fasted (is this okay for my goals?) 2. During workout: - When intra-workout nutrition matters (session length, intensity) - What to consume and when (if applicable) 3. Post-workout (timing and composition): - The "anabolic window" — reality vs myth - Macro targets: protein, carbs, fat in grams - 5 specific meal options 4. Hydration protocol: before, during, after 5. How this changes on rest days Base everything on current sports nutrition research, not bodybuilding folklore. </task>

Creates a research-based workout nutrition plan with specific meal options for pre, intra, and post-workout windows.

💡

Pro tip: Total daily protein intake matters far more than timing. Aim for 1.6-2.2g per kg of body weight spread across the day. The post-workout window exists but is much wider than the "30-minute rule" suggests.

Body Composition Nutrition Plan

27/35

<context> Current: weight [WEIGHT], estimated body fat [% OR "unsure"], training [DESCRIBE] Goal: [CUT / BULK / RECOMPOSITION / MAINTENANCE] Timeline: [WEEKS/MONTHS] Diet preferences: [DESCRIBE] Cooking skill: [LEVEL] Meal frequency preference: [2-3 MEALS / 4-6 MEALS / FLEXIBLE] </context> <task> Design a body composition nutrition plan: 1. Calorie calculation: maintenance calories (TDEE), then adjustment for my goal - Cutting: deficit size and rate of loss - Bulking: surplus size and expected muscle vs fat gain ratio - Recomp: cycling approach (higher on training days, lower on rest days) 2. Macro targets: protein (prioritized), carbs, fat — in grams per day 3. Meal templates: for training days and rest days 4. 3 full sample day meal plans with exact portions 5. Food swaps: how to stay on plan when dining out, traveling, or socializing 6. Diet breaks and refeeds: when and how to implement them (for sustainability) 7. Progress tracking: what to measure, how often, and how to adjust when progress stalls Make this sustainable. A perfect diet I cannot follow beats a good diet I actually follow every time. </task>

Creates a calculated body composition plan with macro targets, meal templates, and adjustment protocols.

💡

Pro tip: Weigh yourself daily at the same time but only look at the weekly average. Daily weight fluctuates by 1-3 lbs from water, food volume, and hormones. The trend is what matters.

Recovery Nutrition Protocol

28/35

<context> Training volume: [SESSIONS PER WEEK, DURATION, INTENSITY] Recovery issues: [SORENESS / FATIGUE / POOR SLEEP / SLOW RECOVERY] Current diet: [DESCRIBE] Supplement use: [LIST] </context> <task> Create a recovery-focused nutrition protocol: 1. Protein optimization: timing, amount, and distribution for maximum muscle protein synthesis 2. Anti-inflammatory foods: specific foods that reduce exercise-induced inflammation 3. Sleep-supporting nutrition: foods and timing that improve sleep quality for recovery 4. Glycogen replenishment: carb timing and types for faster energy restoration 5. Hydration and electrolytes: recovery-specific protocol beyond basic water intake 6. Supplement assessment: which recovery supplements have evidence (and which are marketing) 7. Day-by-day nutrition: how to eat differently on heavy training days, light days, and rest days 8. Tart cherry juice, collagen, omega-3s, magnesium — honest assessment of each for recovery Prioritize real food solutions over supplements. Supplements fill gaps — they do not replace a good diet. </task>

Builds a recovery-focused nutrition protocol with anti-inflammatory foods, sleep nutrition, and evidence-based supplement review.

💡

Pro tip: The most impactful recovery nutrition strategy is also the simplest: eat enough total calories and protein. Under-eating is the most common cause of poor recovery in active people.

Performance Nutrition for Events

29/35

<context> Event: [RACE / COMPETITION / GAME / TOURNAMENT / MULTI-DAY EVENT] Event date: [DATE OR "X weeks away"] Event duration: [HOURS] Intensity: [DESCRIBE] Previous experience fueling for events: [DESCRIBE] Digestive issues during events: [ANY] </context> <task> Design a performance nutrition strategy for my event: 1. Nutrition periodization: how eating changes in the weeks before the event - 2 weeks out: baseline optimization - 3 days out: carb loading protocol (if applicable) - Night before: specific meal recommendations - Morning of: pre-event meal timing and composition 2. During-event fueling: - Calorie and carb targets per hour - Specific food/drink options (gels, bars, real food, sports drink) - Hydration and electrolyte schedule - GI distress prevention 3. Post-event recovery: - Immediate: what to consume in the first 30 minutes - Same day: recovery meal plan - Following days: nutrition to support full recovery 4. Practice plan: how to rehearse the nutrition strategy before event day Nothing new on race/event day — everything should be tested in training first. </task>

Plans event-day nutrition from weeks-out preparation through during-event fueling to post-event recovery.

💡

Pro tip: Practice your exact race-day nutrition during training. Trying a new gel, drink, or food for the first time during competition is how GI disasters happen. Rehearse everything.

Meal Prep for Athletes

30/35

<context> Training schedule: [DESCRIBE WEEKLY — days, times, types] Calorie target: [DAILY CALORIES] Macro targets: [PROTEIN / CARBS / FAT in grams] Dietary restrictions: [LIST] Cooking time available: [HOURS PER WEEK] Storage: [FRIDGE/FREEZER SPACE] </context> <task> Design a meal prep system for my training schedule: 1. Training day vs rest day meal templates (macros adjust automatically) 2. A batch cooking plan for one prep session: - 3 protein sources (varied preparation for flavor) - 3 carb sources (white rice, sweet potato, etc.) - 4 vegetable preps - 2 sauces that transform the same ingredients into different meals 3. Portion guide: how to assemble containers to hit my macros without weighing every meal 4. Pre-workout and post-workout meals that are grab-and-go 5. Snack prep: high-protein snacks ready for the week 6. A mix-and-match chart: combine any protein + carb + veg + sauce for variety 7. Shelf life guide: what to eat first and what lasts until Friday This system should take [my available time] per week and eliminate all meal decisions. </task>

Creates a macro-aware meal prep system with training-day and rest-day templates, batch cooking plans, and mix-and-match variety.

💡

Pro tip: Prep components, not meals. Cook proteins, carbs, and vegetables separately so you can combine them differently each day. Same ingredients, different sauces, completely different meals.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Claude is an AI assistant that can help you research health topics, understand medical information, prepare for doctor appointments, and organize your health data. It cannot diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or replace professional medical care. Every prompt in this guide includes disclaimers and encourages working with healthcare providers. Use Claude as a research assistant, not a doctor.
Claude has broad knowledge of medical topics based on its training data, but it has a knowledge cutoff and cannot access the latest research or your personal medical records. It may not know about the newest treatments or guidelines. Always verify critical health information with your healthcare provider or reputable medical sources like Mayo Clinic, NIH, or UpToDate. Claude is best for organizing information and generating questions, not for definitive medical answers.
Claude tends to provide more nuanced, cautious health guidance and is more likely to flag when professional medical advice is needed. Its longer context window allows you to share comprehensive health histories and get more personalized responses. Claude also excels at structured analysis — lab result interpretation, medication research, and systematic health planning benefit from its analytical approach.
You can share health metrics, lab results, and symptoms with Claude for analysis. However, be aware that your conversation may be used for training purposes. Do not share information you would not want potentially seen by the AI company. Avoid sharing full names, addresses, insurance numbers, or other personally identifiable information alongside health data.
Claude can calculate calorie needs, design meal plans, analyze your current diet, and create exercise guidance. However, sustainable weight loss involves behavioral change, and Claude cannot provide the accountability, emotional support, or medical monitoring that a registered dietitian or doctor offers. Use Claude for the planning and education components, and consider professional support for the behavioral and medical components — especially if you have more than 30 pounds to lose or any health conditions.
