Book Synopsis
'Groundbreaking... bridges the gap between cutting-edge science and practical well-being. A must-read for anyone seeking to improve their resilience, reduce inflammation and embrace a healthier future.' Dr Jenna Macciochi, author of Immunity: The Science of Staying Well
What if you could see the toll that over-work, too much sugar or bad sleep really take on your system?
What if you knew what boosts your energy, and what saps it, and when you are heading for burnout?
What if you could feel more vitality and joy, have stronger will power and live longer?
With the aid of your phone, smartwatch or a wearable heart rate monitor and The Pulse Cure, you can. The key lies in measuring your heart rate variability - the distance between your heart beats - which indicates what is happening in your autonomic nervous system. Tuning into your heart rate variability can show you how your personal constitution reacts to specific stressors and help you tailor what you need to do to recharge.
Whether you are healthy but want to take a proactive approach to your health, or exhausted and want your energy back, Dr Færø's clear, upbeat guidance will help you to:
- improve your sleep
- discover the right type and level of exercise for you
- find the best way for you to relax and find calm
- spot early signs of illness and disease
- fight burnout and chronic fatigue
- avoid inflammation in the body.
Start a conversation with your body. It might have surprising things to tell you!
About the Author
Dr Torkil Færø is a general practitioner and emergency physician, documentary filmmaker, author and photographer. In 1996 he was one of the first Norwegian medics to work for Doctors Without Borders when he worked in war-torn Angola. Over a 25-year career as a freelance doctor, he has worked all over Norway, 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 the stresses our lifestyles place on our bodies.
Færø is also an award-winning photographer, author of Kamerakuren (The Camera Cure), and has made documentaries about his pilgrimages to Nidaro and Santiago de Compostela. An inveterate traveller, he has made his way by bicycle, motorbike, kayak, boat and car through over 80 countries, and speaks eight languages. He lives in Oslo with his wife and two children.
