This week on the WHOOP Podcast, WHOOP Founder and CEO Will Ahmed sits down with WHOOP SVP of Research, Algorithms, and Data Emily Capodilupo to break down an exciting new feature: Healthspan with WHOOP Age and Pace of Aging. Developed in collaboration with the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, WHOOP has created the ultimate longevity metric to understand your physiological age, measuring varying components of sleep, strain, and fitness. Will and Emily introduce the 9 metrics that make up your WHOOP Age and Pace of Aging: sleep consistency, hours of sleep, time in heart rate zones 1-3 and 4-5, strength training, steps, VO₂ Max, resting heart rate, and lean body mass. Healthspan with WHOOP Age and Pace of Aging is now available with WHOOP Peak and WHOOP Life memberships.  Healthspan is not available for users under the age of 18. (00:00) What is Healthspan?
