  • In today's episode, I want to explore the ongoing debate in fitness and nutrition regarding the roles of calories and hormones in weight loss. I want to talk about the importance of a holistic approach to metabolism, considering factors such as food quality, environmental influences, and individual lifestyle choices.

    I also want to discuss the significance of consistency in dietary habits and the power of mindset in achieving health goals. It's important to create a personal vision for your health and to adopt sustainable practices that align with your goals.

    We'll also dive into the complexities of fat gain, metabolism, and the interplay between genetics and lifestyle choices, emphasizing the importance of understanding basal metabolic rate (BMR) and non-exercise activity in managing weight.

  • 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!
