You may have heard of wearables such as the Oura ring, the Whoop band, the Garmin Watch, and more but did you know it's role in longevity and the specific stats they track when it comes to healthspan? Today's guest is going to share his expertise on the subject.

Dr. Torkil is the driving force behind the book The Pulse Cure and the social website thepulsecure.com. He is a general practitioner and 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. Through 25 years as a freelance doctor, he has worked in municipalities all over the country, had tens of thousands of consultations and gained a unique picture of 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.

Listen in as we discuss the role of HRV, where we store stress, the importance of VO2 max, and more!
