In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Torkil Færø, a renowned Norwegian physician, best-selling author, photographer, and expert on heart rate variability (HRV). With over 25 years of experience as a doctor, including work with Doctors Without Borders in war-torn regions, Dr. Færø has a unique perspective on health, stress, and well-being. He is the author of The Pulse Cure, a guide to using wearable technology to track HRV and optimize health, as well as The Camera Cure, which explores the healing power of photography.

We dive deep into how HRV can be used to monitor stress, recovery, and overall health, and explore the fascinating connections between diet, alcohol, exercise, and HRV. Dr. Færø also shares insights into his upcoming book, The Rest Cure, and discusses how simple lifestyle adjustments can dramatically improve both physical and mental performance.
