On this week’s episode of the WHOOP Podcast Science of Human Performance Series, WHOOP SVP of Research Algorithms and Data, Emily Capodilupo, sits down with WHOOP AVP Medical Director, Dr. Dan Henderson to discuss the key longevity habits to help you boost your healthspan and improve your WHOOP age. Emily and Dr. Henderson break down the difference between lifespan and healthspan, illustrating why decline with age isn’t necessarily inevitable. The two break down how everyday choices around sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress, and social connection can compound over time to shape how we age. This episode clarifies the habits with the greatest impact on long-term health, why many popular longevity supplements may offer less benefit than advertised, and how biomarkers and blood testing can uncover hidden opportunities to improve both health and performance.
