Setting Sleep PRs with Dr. James Choo

Dr. James Choo first joined us to lay out the science of sleep — why it's non-negotiable, what it costs you when you get it wrong, and the habits that protect it. It was convincing stuff. What he didn't tell us then was how hard he was personally struggling to follow his own advice.In this long-awaited return, Dr. Choo gets candid. He opens up about the gap between knowing what good sleep requires and actually doing it — and how bad things had quietly gotten for him. But this isn't a story about failure. It's a story about using the tools available to him in a surprisingly modern way: pairing data from his WHOOP with an LLM to audit his own patterns, identify what was actually working, and build back his confidence that the fundamentals he'd always preached were still the answer — he just had to live them.It's part confession, part case study, and a genuinely fascinating look at how AI and wearable data can do more than track your metrics — they can help you hold yourself accountable when your own conviction starts to slip.If you've ever known exactly what you should be doing and still struggled to do it, this one's for you.
