The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
125. Kristen Holmes: WHOOP’s Principal Scientist Reveals Game-Changing Research

And, you know, to me, this was a way that we could understand, you know, how athletes cope with load. We could understand, you know, really how to just keep them safe over the course of the season. So I think for me, it was just part of the job.

125. Kristen Holmes: WHOOP’s Principal Scientist Reveals Game-Changing Research

Yeah, I think it's a very nouveau term to start talking about readiness. I was an amateur triathlete years ago, so I never was at a professional level, but my judgment of whether or not I was ready was just basically how I felt. How did I feel climbing on the bike? How did I feel when I started out a run? And sometimes it was predictive, but really often I was shocked by how unprepared I was.

And, you know, now that I've been deep down the rabbit hole of data, I think if you were to distill all of superhuman performance down to a single metric in terms of its impact, I mean, would you agree that that would be sleep? Or would you say it's a combination of other things?

So I think it's probably, you know, Winder and Etel just published a paper in January of 2024 that basically looked at all the different markers of sleep. And what they found is that sleep, was a bigger predictor of all-cause mortality than sleep duration. Now, it doesn't mean that time in bed doesn't matter. It does.

When you say regularly, you mean same time going to bed, same sleep routine?

Yeah, so onset and offset. So if you think about your sleep when you go to bed and when you wake up, and you want to make that as consistent as possible.
