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

If you have predisposition for, you know, early onset cognitive dysfunction, you're not guaranteed to get Alzheimer's or dementia, you know, early memory loss. you can make behavioral changes and environmental changes that have dramatic impacts on pushing that back or even eliminating it from your life.

But it's astounding how, you know, I think like in early cancer screening, people are like, I just don't want to know. No, actually you do want to know, right? You want to know as early as possible so it is the least disruptive to your life. But I feel like in general, there's a slow adoption for this type, especially the pace that big data is moving and its pace of adoption.

Like people like you and I are like, dude, this is great data. You should be paying attention to this. How do you bring it more? Mainstream, how do you improve the adoption of it? I guess, prove the efficacy?

I think the science is there in terms of heart rate variability. It's accurate. We've got external studies that are able to validate. I think people are starting to know that, oh, this is a really nice proxy for my overall mental and physical and emotional health resilience profile. I think HRV is a great proxy.

Everyone, I think recognizes heart rate, you know, resting heart rate is also a great proxy. So all these technologies are doing that pretty well. It's like table stakes. It's not, it's pretty accurate in our sleep, sleep staging. Like all of that is getting better and better and better. You know, our algorithms are getting better.

Um, and, um, so I think there's a lot of insight to be derived and I think to get people over the hump, they have to be just willing to kind of face the truth and And I think that is the, to your point, is the barrier for some folks. They're like, I don't know if I want to know, you know, or I don't know if I'm ready to make change.

And so I think number one is people, all right, I want to make some change. And then, you know, not being intimidated by the data, but being, all right, this is going to be a tool to help me understand if what I'm doing, if the effort I'm putting forward is actually helping. And I think that's where we need to get people to. It's just like, hey, it's not about the score per se.

It's about understanding if how you're applying your effort is actually working. And that's really a lot of research.
