E252: HRV: The Early Warning System for Stress, Burnout, and Chronic Disease with Dr. Torkil Faero
This episode covers:
In this episode, we discuss simple, actionable strategies to improve your HRV starting today, how to use HRV to predict burnout and chronic disease risk, why HRV might be the most underutilized health tool available to all of us, and so much more.
Dr. Torkil Faero is a general practitioner, emergency doctor, documentary filmmaker, author, photographer, and globetrotter.
As a medical student, he was the first to go abroad for Norwegian Doctors Without Borders when he worked in war-torn Angola in 1996. For 25 years, he has been a freelance doctor, working in municipalities all over the country, conducting tens of thousands of consultations, and gaining a unique perspective on the diseases that plague us. He has learned that the cause is most often found in a lifestyle that stresses our body. He wanted to do something about that.
Torkil is concerned with how we can get the most out of life. In the book The Pulse Cure, he explains step by step how we can use the heart rate monitor or the smartphone to get to know our own body better and gain better control of the stress balance and the autonomic nervous system.
