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

Yeah, yeah. So I'm a psychophysiologist. So I started kind of in physiology and expanded into psychology really because of, you know, so a psychophysiologist basically, you know, as a psychologist, I look at, you know, psychological processes and basically the interrelationships between your psychological processes and physiological responses and vice versa.

So understanding kind of this connection, in my view, is so critical, right? When you have studies that just look at the physiology, but we don't know how someone's, or just the psychology, we don't know how someone slept, their sleep patterns, like we're just missing a piece of the puzzle. Same sort of thing.

If we're looking at some of these physiological process, but don't have any psychological context in terms of their psychological functioning, again, we're probably missing a piece of the puzzle. So from my perspective, merging these two domains is so essential.

And that's really where wearable technology has enabled us to basically run these psychological kind of experiments or include psychological measures while collecting all of this physiological data. So we ran a huge study looking at blood pressure, stress, and sleep,

And, you know, in that, in the survey, we asked folks their perceptions of their day to the degree that they thought their day was threatening versus challenging. So we asked them at the end of the day. We also asked them lots of sleep anxiety questions.
