About the guest:

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 realised that he had to change his own lifestyle. Being40 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 CameraCure, 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.

Cardiovascular disease is the biggest killer of Australians and elevated cholesterol is a key risk factor. Host Amelia Phillips and Prof. Karam Kostner discuss the latest strategies to lower cholesterol, including diet protocols, exercise and key supplements. They discuss medications and why it's important that some people get and stay on medications whereas others can manage through lifestyle. They touch on many other elements such as familial hypercholesterolemia, longevity hacks such as lipoprotein(a) test, Omega index and the CAC score. 

If you are interested in longevity, already healthy but want to optimise consider these novel tests: Lipoprotein A, omega-3 index, coronary calcium scan. Reach out to Amelia if you would like to organise any of these tests.

Do you own a wearable such as a smart watch or Oura Ring? One that measures your heart rate? Host Amelia Phillips and GP Dr Torkil Færø discuss the fascinating data that can be really helpful on a health journey, from discovering how stressed we really are, to our sleep quality, or a measurement of our Vo2Max. While wearables may not be 100% accurate, the trends to track over time can be very telling.  With all this data, what elements should we be tracking and how do we interpret the data in a meaningful and useful way? Dr Torkil has written a fascinating book The Pulse Cure: a book that delves into the research behind wearables, particularly around heart rate variability.
