0:00.0 | Okay, Emily, welcome back. |
0:07.9 | So excited to be here for this one, Will. |
0:10.3 | Health span, this is a big one. |
0:12.8 | You know, it's funny, I think you and I have both seen the designs or ideation of a feature long before the feature is actually built. And I remember saying to |
0:23.0 | the data science teams and the product teams, like when we had kind of finalized what we thought |
0:28.5 | this should look like in a final form, that I thought this was going to be as successful a feature |
0:34.3 | for WOOP as the recovery score, which was a pretty big statement. And I mean, |
0:38.9 | we're only now shortly into having launched it, but I think we're already hearing some amazing |

1:24.3 | are focused on lifespan. And we really wanted to zero in on what are the |
1:29.0 | things that predict health span and how can we measure your health span, not just like some kind |
1:34.3 | of clock of, you know, how long are you going to live or something like that? |
1:37.1 | And when you say a decade difference in lifespan versus health span, you're saying that people |
1:41.7 | will live 10 years longer than they're actually healthy |
1:45.0 | for. Yeah. I mean, you know, think about how many people spend that marginal decade of life, |
