What's up, folks? Welcome back to the Whoop podcast. I'm your host Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of Whoop, and we're on a mission to unlock human performance. Got to start by congratulating a high-performing WOOP member, Patrick Mahomes, a partner to Woop, and a long time,

Woop-aware.

Unbelievable performance he's putting together in his career.

As if it wasn't enough to have your first six years as a starter

going to the AFC championship game,

he is now going to the Super Bowl for his fourth year in five seasons.

That's pretty unbelievable.

And just watching the game on Sunday, it felt very reminiscent of Tom Brady and the

Pats where it's like, you don't know if they've got the best team,

you don't know if they're going to be able to persevere against a team with a bunch of better record, et cetera, et cetera.

And yet they just find a way to win.

Congratulations, Patrick.

Ruding for you this coming Super Bowl.

All right.

Now to the podcast.

On this week's episode, we've got WOOoop VP of Performance Science, principal scientist, Kristen Holmes,

joined by orthopedic surgeon and longevity expert, Dr. Vanda Wright.

The double board certified orthopedic sports medicine surgeon has over 20 plus years of experience

working with athletes and leaders across the sports and business

industries. Dr. Vonda has cared for athletes and active people of all ages and skill levels,

including the Division I, Georgia State Panthers, Penguins elite developmental hockey teams,

University of Pittsburgh Division I athletes, World Rugby Sevens, and Olympic track and field.
