With more health experts than ever, we have more complexity and confusion about what it actually takes to be healthy in 2025. My podcast guest today helps to dispel myths and mysteries by using data to examine bio-individuality in real time. We talk about using smartwatches, smart rings and other wearables to track stress levels through observing Heart Rate Variability (HRV) - and how this can help your health goals.

Dr. Torkil Færø is a GP and emergency physician, documentary filmmaker, author and photographer. Over a 26-year career as a freelance doctor, he has worked all over Norway, had hundred thousand consultations and thus gained a unique picture of the diseases that plague us. He learned that the cause
is most often found in the stresses our lifestyles place on our bodies. 

When Torkil’s father died at 73, he realized that he had to change his own lifestyle. Being 40 pounds overweight, under-trained, over-stressed, under-slept and drinking alcohol daily, he learned that this lifestyle could deprive him of decades. Using wearables he found a way to track and regulate his nervous system and physiology.

Tune in to learn about the practical and accessible way to read your body’s signals to create wellness.
