WHOOP Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

WHOOP has quickly become a standout favorite of mine! I’m consistently impressed by the engaging conversations, insightful content, and actionable ideas. I truly learn something valuable every time I tune in. 10/10 recommend!

new listener here -Just listened to the body composition episode and found it super insightful! I’ve been training for a couple years now but getting into different types of training as of late and while you can find so many resources for certain exercises, form, recovery, etc the actual highlight in body comp and how it impacts/is impacted by so many things I think is something we should all be learning more on and at all ages! Really changes how we look at ourselves and helps flag those misleading ads of magic pills or diets or one exercise that will change everything 🙄Love episodes on where with data we can learn so much of what makes us our best self both physically and mentally to perform the most trivial tasks (e.g. getting off the toilet solo) to intense training.

Kristen Holmes is good at many things. And perhaps, one day she will be able to conduct a good interview. But currently, her interviews are difficult to listen to. She cuts off her guests and starts her own thought on the topic, she interrupts the guest before the guest has completed the answer to her question, and she side tracks her guests with new questions before they’ve answered the previous question. It is tedious to listen to and I’ve decreased my exposure to her interviews because of it.

I have learned a lot from the guests about physiology and life perspectives and approaches. The topics are relevant to today’s issues. Always worth the listen!

Holmes doesn’t spend the time needed to effectively interview others. It’s like watching a kitten try to catch a butterfly. She needs to organize her interview. She needs to write down her questions in advance so she doesn’t ramble. They should be succinct so we listen more to the interviewee instead of her. The Zone 2 interview had a lot of potential. She never had Laursen define what fat oxidation was, its mechanics, why Zone 2 increases it, etc. Based on the intro, Laursen knows a lot about this subject, but she didn’t bring it out. Instead she veered to diabetes, need for good sleep, clean sheets, menopause, and snoring.
This isn’t the first of her interviews I’ve come away with more annoyed than knowledgeable.
