#84 Dr Torkil Færø - Wearables To Enhance Your Health And Reduce The Risk of Disease
Can health tech reduce our risk for disease? What are the most important health metrics to track? And what’s the best wearable currently available?
I saw Torkil speak at the Integrative and Personalised Medicine Congress in London and I was absolutely delighted to speak to him on the show. We had some fun talking all things wearables, and he actually turned up to the interview wearing about 5 of them! As I was impressed, concerned and slightly confused all at the same time.
In this episode we cover:
What is the best health tracker available?
The utility of heart rate variability (HRV) to track health
Optimising health using health trackers
Exploring my unusual high HRV
And much more.
Dr Torkil Færø is a general practitioner and emergency physician, documentary filmmaker, author and photographer. In 1996 he was one of the first Norwegian medics to work for Doctors Without Borders when he worked in war-torn Angola. Over a 25-year career as a free- lance doctor, he has worked all over Norway, had tens of thousands of consul- tations and gained a unique picture of the diseases that plague us. He has learned that the cause is most often found in the stresses our lifestyles place on our bodies.
