Torkil Færø
Torkil has written the book Pulskuren and is the driving force behind the social website pulskuren.no.
He is a general practitioner, 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. For 25 years, he has been a freelance doctor, working in municipalities all over the country, conducting tens of thousands of consultations, and gaining a unique perspective on 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.
Torkil is concerned with how we can get the most out of life. In the book The Pulse Cure, he explains step by step how we can use the heart rate monitor or the smartphone to get to know our own body better and gain better control of the stress balance and the autonomic nervous system.
Torkil has been given a new life by making several intelligent lifestyle changes. He hopes that everyone who wants better health and more energy to live life to the fullest will benefit from the measures he enjoys so much. He also has a big wish for the healthcare system: that it works preventively to a much greater extent and provides more self-help resources than is the case today.
Torkil Færø is also an award-winning photographer who has published photography art books, held exhibitions and held photography workshops in many countries. He is an enthusiastic long-distance walker and has made the NRK films about pilgrimages to Nidaros and Santiago de Compostela. In his previous book, THE CAMERA CURE, he combined medical and photographic knowledge into a unique book about therapeutic photography, combining coping with life with taking good pictures. Faroe has travelled by backpack, bicycle, motorbike, kayak, boat and car in over 80 countries and speaks eight languages. Torkil is married to Tone, who is also part of the team at Pulskuren.

Arild Bekkelund
G’day mate! Arild is Pulskuren’s technical manager, developer and support general. He has a long and versatile marketing, project management, web design, and development career.
We would like to look inside Arild’s head and discover how it is possible to be as technically minded as he is. Arild is professional, practical and always service-oriented. He takes pride in solving unforeseen challenges, which seemingly never stop arising. Good on ya!
If you experience problems on the website and cannot find an answer under HELP & SUPPORT in the menu on the left, Arild will often be the one who can help you. Just fill out the contact form there and submit and we’ll find out. No worries!
Arild lives and works in Australia and is thus absurdly far away from being our closest employee. When he’s not being pinned to his chair by his 9.5 kg pet-demanding cat, Arild, to our great delight, is constantly expanding his technical talent. He fills his spare time with golf, music, and the occasional barbecue (Aussie slang for barbeque ).
You can follow Arild on his journey towards a healthier life in the series Arild’s Health Journey, which you can find under HEALTH TRAVELS in the menu. Watch, learn and be inspired to start your own. Cheers!
