I talk about healthspan and longevity a lot on this podcast and I believe for good reason. We're living longer than ever but right now, sicker than ever. Our goal should be to enjoy our lives throughout the entire lifespan and my guest today is a chief science officer who's dedicating his life to this very area.

Chris Burres is a published author, host of the Longevity Summit, and Chief Scientist of MyVitalC that helps with better sleep, vitality, mental acuity, and better vision. We discuss how a toxicity study turned into a longevity study, the science behind MyVitalC, the importance of mindset, and more!

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!
