Hello, folks. Welcome to the Whoop Podcast. I'm your host, Will Ahmed, the founder and CEO of Whoop,

and we are on a mission to unlock human performance. That's right. We've got a membership

that collects data for you on sleep and recovery and strain. It includes the Whoopstrap 3.0.

It's pretty phenomenal.

And look, this is a very important episode. We are going to go deep again on respiratory rate,

and we're going to give you a real-life example from Scott Stallings, a professional golfer,

for how he used respiratory rate to predict COVID-19. We've got Emily Capital Lupo, our brilliant VP of data science here with us. She's going to talk about the peer-reviewed research that we've done.

This is now peer-reviewed and published, which is another sort of layer of validation in the

medical community. And it shows the importance of

respiratory rate. I'll keep saying it, respiratory rate. It's the number of breaths you have in a

minute. And we've been able to see that about 80% of cases have this distinct elevated respiratory

rate. So we're going to talk to Emily about the research and how you can use

respiratory rate to better understand your body during this crazy pandemic. And then we're going to go to

Scott Stallings, professional golfer, PGA tour, great guest on the earlier podcast, episode 30.

And Scott talks about the fact that he just tested positive for COVID-19 and literally

discovered that he had COVID-19 by looking at his Whoop app.

You can't make this stuff up.

Scott's not endorsed by Whoop.

This is just his experience.

And a reminder that you can get 15% off a Whoop membership.

If you use the code Will Ahmed, that's W-I-L-L-A-H-M-E-D.

So without further ado, here's Emily.
