Ask Chris
Have a question about your health after 50?
Ask Chris is Chris Deavin's digital health coach, built around his coaching philosophy, methods and more than 25 years of experience. Ask it about strength, cardiovascular fitness, nutrition, recovery, habits, mindset, resilience and the obstacles that get in the way of being consistent.

With Chris himself. No obligation.
Being clear about what this is
Ask Chris is an AI, digital version of Chris's coaching approach — not Chris personally, and not a substitute for personalised medical or professional advice.
It is trained on how Chris coaches, so the guidance is consistent with his approach. It does not diagnose, prescribe or replace your GP or clinician. If something you raise needs medical input, speak to a health professional. When you want a plan built for your circumstances, that is a conversation with Chris.
Not sure where to start?
Most people arrive with one of these
You do not need a well-formed question. Describing the situation honestly is enough to get something useful back.
You are training, but nothing is changing
The sessions happen, the effort is real, and progress has quietly stalled. A short conversation can help you work out which part to look at first.
Your energy dips through the working day
Mornings are fine and the afternoon is a struggle. Usually that points at sleep, fuelling or how the week is structured rather than willpower.
You are starting again after a long gap
Months or years away from training, and you want to restart without doing something you cannot sustain past week three.
You have limited time and too many options
Three or four hours a week, and no clear sense of what deserves them. Ask Chris can help you narrow it down.
Example questions
Six ways to open
- “I have three hours a week to train. What should I actually do with them?”
- “How much protein do I need at 57, and how do I get it without overhauling my meals?”
- “My sleep is poor in busy work periods. What is worth changing first?”
- “I keep restarting every January. Why does it stop by March?”
- “What does a sensible strength programme look like if I have never lifted properly?”
- “I travel two weeks a month. How do I keep any consistency at all?”

What next
Ask Chris starts the conversation. The assessments sharpen it.
A conversation is a good beginning. If you want something more structured, the two assessments answer two different questions.

The physical side: strength, cardiovascular fitness, nutrition and recovery. Twenty questions, and you see which of the four is holding you back first.
