the hottest new way to track your health
with Dr. Torkil Færø
In this episode of The Superhuman Blueprint Podcast, host Drew Griesel speaks with Dr. Torkil Færø, a Norwegian general practitioner, emergency physician, and author, about managing the impacts of stress and lifestyle on health, particularly through the use of wearable technology to measure heart rate variability (HRV). Dr. Færø discusses his experiences and insights from his career and his bestselling book, 'The Pulse Cure,' which explores how stress is often rooted in lifestyle choices and how HRV can be used to manage stress levels effectively. The conversation delves into the impact of food, alcohol, and activities on stress, and how HRV data can empower individuals to take control of their health, moving preventive care into their own hands. Drew and Torkil also discuss the potential of combining HRV data with other health metrics, such as continuous glucose monitoring, to gain a comprehensive understanding of one's health.
