What's up, folks? Welcome back to the WOOP podcast, where we sit down with the best of the best, uncover human performance.

I'm your host, Will Amid, founder and CEO of Woop. We're on a mission to unlock human performance. That's right.

On this week's episode, our VP of Performance Science, Kristen Holmes, is joined by ShareCare's

chief medical officer, Dr. Judd Brewer.

Dr. Judd is here to break down the physiological impact of stress and anxiety on the body

and how they can impact habits.

As we all continue to work on our resolutions through January jumpstart campaign,

Dr. Judge can share some of his research on mindfulness, habit change, anxiety, and sleep.

He's a New York Times best-selling author and thought leader in the field of habit change

and the science of self-mastery,

who blends over 20 years of experience with mindfulness training in a career in scientific research.

Dr. Judd has developed and tested novel mindfulness programs for habit change,

including both in-person and app-based treatments for anxiety, emotional eating, and smoking.

He has published numerous peer-reviewed articles and book chapters.

He has trained U.S. Olympic athletes and coaches, foreign government ministers, and corporate leaders.

His work has been featured on outlets such as 60 Minutes, Ted, the Wall Street Journal,

The Today Show, and more.

Dr. Judd and Kristen will discuss the anxiety habit loop and how to manage it, the psychological

impact of breaking habits, the three pillars of how to manage and avoid stress, the difference

between breaking and maintaining habits, how stress can help and hinder your goals, how stress

and anxiety can impact sleep. We're going to get to the episode in half a second, but a reminder
