Hello folks, welcome back to the Whoop Podcast.

We are on a mission to unlock human performance.

I'm your host Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of Whoop.

Very exciting episode because we are announcing the launch of the new Woop Stress Monitor.

That's right. It's the stress monitor. It measures your stress levels in real time and helps you manage it with scientifically backed breathing interventions developed in partnership with Dr. Andrew Huberman.

This has been a feature in the works for about two years, and in the last six months I've

been using it every day. I am at a stress level right now of 1.2. It's on a scale of 0 to 3, so I'm reading this with a 1.2.

You know, 0 to 1 you can think of as being like low stress, 1 to 2, mid-level, probably a good level of alertness.

And then 2 and above, that's a high stress state. And I am joined today

on this podcast by Jamie Waito, our chief technology officer. Jamie is a product and technology

executive with over 20 years of experience leading companies such as Alphabet, Apple, and NASA, where she

literally sent robots to Mars. And we go into all things Stress Monitor. We talk about how

our team at Woop came up with the Stress monitor and a lot of the crazy science that went into

making it. As many of you may know, we have WOOP Labs, which is responsible for recruiting individual

participants and doing data collection studies. So we literally had people come in. We'd have them do

mental math. We'd put them in ice baths.

We'd put them in hot environments.

Essentially all sorts of things that we knew would trigger stress.

And then we measured the physiological response.

Jamie and I also talk about the science behind the real-time data reading.

So again, if you're on whoop, you can go into your Woop app and in any

given moment you can look at your stress level. And that's measured again by the stress monitor and
