The Prime Chapter Toolkit

Built to Use, Not Just Read

Free to start — the same system I use, in your pocket.

The Prime Chapter Trainer

A full interactive training system — personalized calorie and protein targets from your own numbers, a program matched to how many days you can train, rest timers, a session stopwatch, and a Form Guide with animated movement patterns. It works for any adult who wants a real plan, not just one age group — your calorie and protein targets are calculated with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, the clinically accepted standard, from your age, height, weight, sex, and activity level. Installs on your phone like an app, works offline at the gym.

Opens in your browser and installs to your phone’s home screen like an app — no download, and it works offline at the gym. Free to try, then a simple subscription.

Prime Chapter Health — Free to Start

One dashboard for the numbers that actually matter now — weight, activity, food, and blood sugar, tracked together instead of scattered across five different apps.

I never measured my blood sugar at home — and my A1C still came down. I brought it from 7.2 to 5.3 by tracking one number every morning, my weight, and letting bloodwork every few months tell me whether the direction was real (the full story is in the A1C article). I do not pretend otherwise. But plenty of people are asked to test by their doctor, and every tracker I looked at buried glucose three menus deep as if it were a specialty item. So this one puts blood sugar on the same screen as weight, food and activity, for those who test — and works just as well for those who, like me, only step on the scale.

Prime Chapter Recipes

High-protein, blood-sugar-friendly recipes built around real numbers — the way I actually eat to stay strong and steady after 50. Each one lists calories and protein up front, scales to any number of eaters, keeps your screen on while you cook, and puts a timer on every step.
