Emily Capodilupo, Senior Vice President of Research Algorithms and Data at WHOOP, explains how wearable technology is redefining how we understand aging and human performance. She discusses how data-driven feedback loops - from sleep quality to recovery metrics - allow people to make subtle, personalised adjustments that dramatically improve their well-being.

She emphasises that longevity isn’t just about living longer, but living better now: when people start acting on the insights from wearables, they often feel better within days. WHOOP’s platform helps users see how small behavioural changes—like improving sleep, managing stress, and balancing strain, affect long-term health outcomes.

Emily also challenges the assumption that physical decline is inevitable with age. She shares that, by understanding and optimising key recovery markers, people can maintain or even enhance performance over time. The future of health, she argues, lies in empowering individuals with real-time physiological awareness, bridging science, behaviour, and technology to slow biological ageing.

hat if we could actually see how the brain works, in motion, in colour, in real time?

In this episode, MIT neuroscientist Edward Boyden reveals how his groundbreaking inventions, from light-based brain control (optogenetics) to expansion microscopy, are transforming how we understand the mind.

Through thoughtful conversation, Ed explores how mapping and manipulating neural circuits could unlock the mysteries of emotion, decision-making, and consciousness itself.
