Ep 98: Heart Rate Variability, the “Stress Bucket” & Building Resilience
Manage episode 484650238 series 3667596
Did you know that chronic stress is at the root of most modern diseases? From heart disease to diabetes, poorly managed stress can wreak havoc on your body. Fortunately, in this episode Dr. Torkil Færø teaches us how to measure stress in real-time and make adjustments to stay in peak condition. That’s exactly what HRV tracking allows you to do.
We discuss:
- Dr. Færø’s bestselling book, “The Pulse Cure”
- The difference between functional and dysfunctional medicine
- Why wearables like Whoop, Garmin, and Oura are like having a “doctor on your wrist” that can help you make immediate changes (rather than having to wait for your next blood test)
- How alcohol and food sensitivities affect your HRV, health, and resilience
- The best lifestyle habits to improve HRV and longevity
We break down the science of resilience in a way that’s easy to apply. Whether you’re treating patients, an athlete, or someone who just wants to feel and perform better—this episode is a must-listen!
