5 ChatGPT Prompts to Help You Live a Healthier Lifestyle
This article is published by a partner of TIME. In an age when smart technology touches every corner of our lives, it's no surprise that artificial intelligence is now playing a role in helping us stay healthy. Whether you're struggling with persistent fatigue, trying to manage high blood pressure, or simply looking to gain or lose a few pounds, ChatGPT can be a helpful brainstorming tool—generating suggestions that you can take to your doctor or other licensed professionals. But let's be very clear: ChatGPT should never be used to make actual health decisions. It is not a medical device, it is not trained to diagnose or treat, and it is not a replacement for your physician, dietitian, or licensed therapist. Instead, use it to gather information, clarify goals, and generate ideas you can review and personalize with your healthcare provider. With that purpose in mind, here are five useful prompts that can support a healthier lifestyle when paired with expert guidance. We wrote this article with research assistance and insights from AI. ChatGPT Prompts to Help You Improve Your Health Why It Works: Healthy eating is essential to managing many health conditions. Whether you're trying to gain weight, lower your cholesterol, or balance blood sugar, a smart meal plan can provide structure. ChatGPT can suggest meal ideas based on your goals and preferences—so you can bring those ideas to your doctor or dietitian for review. Use Case Example: 'Create a 7-day meal plan for someone with high glucose levels. The meals should be low in added sugars, high in fiber, and include vegetarian options.' Important: You should never follow a ChatGPT-generated meal plan without getting it reviewed by a qualified nutritionist or physician—especially if you have health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or food allergies. Health Issues Potentially Addressed (With Professional Supervision): Why It Works: Regular movement can improve energy, mood, and overall health. If you're looking for a starting point, ChatGPT can create sample workouts tailored to your fitness level and goals—but again, this should only be a way to start a conversation with your doctor or physical therapist, especially if you've been sedentary, injured, or have chronic conditions. Use Case Example: 'Create a 4-week home workout plan for a beginner who wants to improve energy and lose 10 pounds. No equipment.' You can also ask for modifications, time limits, or mobility-friendly routines. Health Issues This May Support (Under Guidance): Why It Works: Chronic stress can impact everything from sleep to blood pressure to immune function. ChatGPT can suggest mindfulness exercises, breathing techniques, or journaling prompts—but you should never rely on AI to treat anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions. Consult a licensed mental health professional for diagnosis or treatment. Use Case Example: 'Create a morning and evening mindfulness routine for someone with a stressful job and poor sleep.' ChatGPT might recommend guided breathing, screen-free wind-down routines, or gratitude journaling. Potential Areas of Support (With Supervision): Why It Works: Diet and lifestyle can play a big role in managing high blood pressure. With this prompt, ChatGPT can generate a list of food suggestions and lifestyle habits that may help—but this is strictly general information. Use Case Example: 'Give me a list of 10 foods and 5 habits that can help naturally reduce high blood pressure.' ChatGPT may suggest potassium-rich foods, sodium reduction, exercise, hydration, or sleep improvements—but again, keep in mind these are only ideas and never a replacement for professional medical advice. Common Conditions That Could Benefit (Always Under Care): Why It Works: Habit tracking improves consistency. ChatGPT can generate checklists or logs to help you track things like water intake, sleep, mood, or steps—but even this should be shared with your doctor or specialist if it relates to ongoing treatment (e.g., blood sugar, blood pressure, fatigue symptoms). Use case example: 'Create a printable weekly health tracker that includes water intake, exercise, sleep hours, and mood rating.' Customizable trackers can keep you motivated—but always include your care team in the loop, especially when dealing with chronic conditions or if something feels off. Examples of Use: Final Thoughts: AI Can Inspire You to Get Healthier ChatGPT can be a powerful partner for generating ideas to support your wellness journey—but it must be used responsibly. It is not a doctor, not a therapist, and not a substitute for licensed medical care. Any plan, idea, or suggestion created by AI should be reviewed and approved by your healthcare team before you act on it. Use ChatGPT to help you explore new routines, organize your health goals, or clarify questions you want to ask your doctor. It's a brainstorming tool, not a treatment tool. When used this way, it can make your next doctor's visit more productive—and your health journey more personalized. Your body is unique. What works for others may not work for you. The safest, most effective way to improve your health is to partner with licensed professionals—and use tools like ChatGPT to help you organize, question, and plan more effectively. Related Articles: FAQs on Using ChatGPT to Improve Health No. ChatGPT is not a medical authority and should not be used to make health decisions. It can only generate general suggestions or ideas that should be discussed and approved by licensed healthcare professionals. Not without medical clearance. Every body is different. What ChatGPT generates is not personalized to your medical history, medications, or risk factors. Always review any plan with your doctor, dietitian, or trainer before trying it. Only in a supportive, informational way. You might use ChatGPT to come up with questions for your doctor or to help you better understand lifestyle changes—but management of chronic conditions must be directed by your healthcare provider.

Tips for Efficiency During Residency
This transcript has been edited for clarity. One of the biggest lessons I've learned in residency is that efficiency is not just about moving fast; it's about being intentional with your time. As a resident physician, I started building efficiency by building systems. For example, templates for notes, checklists for pre-rounding, and even automating parts of my sign-out process. I also learned to prioritize tasks based on acuity:What actually needs me right now, and what can wait or be delegated? I also recommend batching tasks. For example, checking labs, putting in orders, and calling consults all in one sitting instead of constantly switching gears. Honestly, a really big game changer is protecting small pockets of time to reset, whether it's stepping outside for 5 minutes or just grabbing a I actually take care of myself, I move throughout the day with so much more clarity and better purpose.

Does sleeping on a problem really work?
Credit - Photo-Illustration by TIME (Source Images: Eleonora Galli—Getty Images; Ljupco/Getty Images) The busy box that is your brain is hard at work all day long—and it doesn't quit when you're asleep. Not only does your brain fill your slumber with dreams, it also goes right on solving the problems that plagued you during the day, often coming up with solutions by the time you wake up. The idea of sleeping on a problem and seeing if you can get some clarity in the morning is a common one, but is it scientifically sound? A growing body of research says yes. The latest piece of evidence that sleeping on a problem actually works comes courtesy of a small study recently published in the Journal of Neuroscience. A group of 25 people did a memorization task while wired up to an electroencephalograph (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) so the researchers could monitor which portions of their brains lit up as they worked. Everyone then took an afternoon nap, with brain sensors still in place. The researchers were looking for sleep spindles: bursts of activity that occur in the brain during a relatively light stage of sleep. The location of the spindles can provide a clue as to what kind of information the brain is consolidating and processing at any particular time. Read More: Why Do Some People Need More Sleep Than Others? Spindle activity was especially high in the same areas of the brain that were used in the memorization task, and the greater the activity, the more people improved at the task when they tried it after the nap. 'Brain rhythms occur everywhere in the brain during sleep,' said Dara Manoach, professor of psychiatry at Harvard University Medical School and a coauthor of the study, in a statement that accompanied its release. 'But the rhythms in these regions increase after learning, presumably to stabilize and enhance memory.' Alyssa Sinclair, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, found something similar in a study published last year. After sleeping on a difficult task, people were more level-headed the next day. 'When we waited, when we let them sleep on it, they made somewhat more rational choices,' she says. 'They were no longer quite as drawn to evaluating events based solely on their first impressions.' This more measured take on things is due in large part to the region of the brain known as the hippocampus, which is responsible for processing short-term memories and, during sleep, for helping to determine which of those memories will be transferred to long-term storage and which will essentially be deleted. 'When we're asleep,' says Sinclair, 'the hippocampus is hard at work, consolidating those memories and experiences from throughout the day. It does this by replaying things that were important and pruning away the things that weren't.' Read More: How to Be More Spontaneous As a Busy Adult The hippocampus is not alone in handling this work. Once it is done choosing the most relevant experiences, it transfers the keepers to the neocortex, where long-term memories are stored and integrated with existing memories. Those two brain regions do more than just file or trash information. They also analyze it—turning it this way and that and making connections that may not have been entirely obvious when we first encountered the information. It's during sleep that this process often takes place. 'Sleep is critical for problem-solving, creativity, and emotional regulation,' says Daniela Grimaldi, a research associate professor at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. 'Deep sleep, also called slow-wave sleep…provides the optimal conditions for this memory transfer to occur efficiently, ensuring that important experiences and learning are preserved, while less critical information is filtered out.' 'Your mind engages in informational alchemy,' says Matthew Walker, professor of neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley, and the author of the book Why We Sleep, 'reassembling memory fragments into a novel set of associations and colliding them with the back-catalogue of stored information.' Deep sleep is not the only phase that plays a role in problem-solving and memory consolidation. The lightest of the four phases of sleep, known as N1 (for non-rapid eye movement stage one), can also yield profound cognitive benefits. One 2023 study in Science Advances found that when people were presented with a complex math problem, they tripled their chances of solving it if they spent as little as 15 seconds in N1 sleep after being exposed to the problem. 'Our findings suggest that there is a creative sweet spot within the sleep-onset period,' the researchers wrote, 'and hitting it requires individuals balancing falling asleep easily against falling asleep too deeply.' Read More: An Alzheimer's Blood Test Might Predict Advanced Disease None of this suggests that the conscious mind is a secondary player in learning and integrating and consolidating information. The cognitive muscle work of creativity—of art and scientific research and philosophical insight—is all conducted by wide-awake thinkers. But when the lights go off and consciousness winks out, another, deeper process goes to work. 'Creative problem solving improves after a period of sleep,' says Sinclair, 'which helps us piece together those threads of what we've been thinking about, filter out irrelevant information, and come to a better conclusion when we wake up the next day.' It's possible to improve our chances of benefitting from all of that nocturnal work our brains are doing—if we know how. 'Dream memories vanish rapidly upon waking, making instant recording crucial,' says Walker. 'Keeping a dream journal or voice recorder bedside helps immensely. Upon waking, remain still with eyes closed for a moment, allowing dreams and insights to crystallize before the demands of daily life crowd them out. By creating this gentle routine, you enhance your chances of retaining the solutions your sleeping brain—through its unique informational alchemy—has woven overnight.' Write to Jeffrey Kluger at
