During his appearance at the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles, he said that his focus on health intensified in 2019 while living in Australia.

"I was on this big trip. I made it a big [deal] like, 'Oh, I'm going to go out and do all this stuff in Australia,' and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities," he added.
One activity that had been out of reach for Christopher was skydiving, which he was unable to attempt because of his weight at the time.

Christopher's focus on health began in high school, experimenting with different meals and routines. He explained:
"I was doing meal delivery things in high school, and I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school. It's not an overnight thing, but it took a lot of trial and error. And even still to this day, when [you see] before and after photos, I don't feel like I'm an after yet."

His progress in recent years has been driven by small, consistent changes, including a significant milestone when he eliminated bread from his diet for Lent. "I was like, 'Well, if I'm giving up bread, I might as well just take the opportunity and I'm a good Catholic boy, so I'm not going to break it,'" he said. "And so I lost 30 pounds just through that."
As the youngest child of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, Christopher has mostly stayed out of the public spotlight, unlike his siblings Katherine, Christina, and Patrick, who have established public careers. He has only made occasional appearances at family gatherings and casual outings.
Christopher's journey highlights the impact of steady, mindful lifestyle changes over time. While he continues to maintain a low profile compared with his siblings, his recent transformation offers a glimpse of his dedication to health and personal growth, proving that consistent effort can lead to lasting results.
