Yoga With Jake Podcast

Dr Torkil Færø is a GP and emergency physician, documentary filmmaker,
author and photographer. Over a 26-year career as a freelance doctor, he has
worked all over Norway, had hundred thousand consultations and thus gained
a unique picture of the diseases that plague us. He learned that the cause
is most often found in the stresses our lifestyles place on our bodies. When
his father died at 73, he realized that he had to change his own lifestyle. Being
40 pounds overweight, under-trained, over-stressed, under-slept and drinking alcohol daily, he learned that this life- style could deprive him of decades.
Using wearables he found a way to track and regulate his nervous system and
physiology. Færø is an award-winning photographer, author of The Camera
Cure, and has made TV films about his pilgrimages to Nidaros and Santiago de
Compostela. An inveterate traveller, he has visited over 80 countries, and speaks eight languages. He lives in Norway.
THE PULSE CURE has dominated the Norwegian best-sellers lists for 69 weeks and counting. This is the first and only book that teaches how to use wearables to track
heart rate variability and gives a practical and holistic plan to improve overall health. The Pulse Cure is translated into seven languages.
