In this episode, we explore the power of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) as a window into your heart health—and how you can improve it. Joining us from Norway is Dr. Torkil Faero, a seasoned General Practitioner and emergency physician with 26 years of experience. Dr. Faero has practiced medicine across Norway and in war-torn Angola with Doctors Without Borders, gaining a deep understanding of the human body under extreme conditions.
Beyond his medical expertise, Dr. Faero is a true renaissance man—an award-winning photographer, author, and documentary filmmaker. His latest book, The Pulse Cure, reveals how heart rate monitors and smartphones can unlock critical insights about stress, resilience, and the autonomic nervous system. With a passion for exploration, he has traveled to over 80 countries and speaks eight languages, bringing a global perspective to the conversation.
Tune in as we uncover how HRV can be a game-changer for your health—and how simple tools can help you harness its power.
