EFR 494: The Science of Deep Sleep, Maximizing Recovery, and How Quantifying our Behaviors Can Lead to Improved Performance with Kristen Holmes

"If we have a platform that allows us to account for the physiological and psychological variables that impact our performance, then we can effectively choose our level of performance at any given moment." Kristen Holmes is the Vice President of Performance Science at WHOOP, a platform that delivers personalized insights on your fitness, sleep, and recovery to you in real-time, effectively facilitating the connection between you and your body. According to Kristen, WHOOP allows us to apply our behaviors, because once we can understand, in a quantifiable way, why our body is performing the way it currently is, we then gain the confidence to be intentional in everything we do—from the sports we play to the daily routines we live out day-to-day. Ultimately, we're all just trying to be as engaged, present, and available as we can be, no matter the task at hand. To be able to track performance changes through data in real-time is a powerful way to pinpoint weaknesses, fill gaps, and adapt to environmental stressors. Listen in as Kristen does a deep dive into how personalized insights by WHOOP can help anybody, athlete or otherwise, to live their lives with more energy and joy. She also shares why it's not just the physiological parameters that influence our adaptive capacity; that the research indicates that the psychological component impacts us more profoundly than anything we can do physiologically.   Follow Kristen @kristen_holmes2126 Follow WHOOP @whoop Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Get your WHOOP 3.0 activity tracker band for free at https://join.whoop.com/everforward Save 20% on your entire first purchase from Legion Athletics, #1 all-natural supplements brand in the world, with code EVERFORWARD at https://bit.ly/2LmdpUr The Superpower of the 21st Century: Controlling and Directing Thought. by Kristen Holmes For expanded show notes and more info on WHOOP visit https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/494
