0:00.0	What's up, folks? Welcome to the WOOP podcast. I'm your host, Will Amid, the founder and CEO of WOOP, where we are on a mission to unlock human performance.
0:15.0	We build technology across hardware and software and analytics to really understand you. So that includes things like
0:22.8	sleep and recovery and strain. More recently, a statistic called respiratory rate that we found can be
0:30.0	predictive of COVID-19. I encourage you to check out some earlier podcasts in which we talk about
0:36.0	respiratory rate and COVID-19. We're going to get
0:39.5	into our amazing guest this week in just a second. First, I want to remind you that you can get
0:45.5	15% off a WOOP membership if you use the code, Will Ahmed. That's W-I-L-L-A-H-M-E-D. We had an amazing week last week. We announced a partnership with G-42
1:02.0	healthcare to become the first wearable to be used in a phase three COVID-19 vaccine trial. Yes, I don't think there's anything more important right now
1:13.5	than a phase three COVID-19 vaccine trial. COVID-19 vaccines are going to hopefully save a lot of lives,
1:21.2	and we are proud at whoop to be a part of this and to help look at physiological data
1:27.0	before, during, and after a phase three trial
1:30.7	and make sure that baseline data stays stable. And really, I think it's the future of medicine
1:37.0	to use health monitoring to understand deviations in your, during vaccines, drugs, and other therapies.
1:47.1	So anyway, if you want to learn more about that partnership, you can check it out at the locker.
1:52.4	That's whoop.com slash locker.
1:55.3	All right.
1:55.8	Now, our guest, Dr. Bob Arnott, fascinating guy, former chief medical correspondent for both CBS and NBC News,
2:05.1	the former chief foreign correspondent for NBC. He's a pilot, he's a world champion paddleboarder,
2:12.3	a skier, an author, really a renaissance man. I mean, Dr. Bob does it all. And at age 72, he's got the
2:21.6	whoop data of a 25-year-old. And we talk a lot about that. We talk about his philosophy on life,
2:28.2	health, fitness. He just wrote this new book, Flip the Youth Switch, which is out now, and it's all about folks, heart rate
2:36.2	variability. It's all about health. It's about heart variability. I read the book. I think it's
