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 realized that he had to change his own lifestyle. Being 40 pounds overweight, under-trained, over-stressed, under-slept and drinking alcohol daily, he learned that this lifestyle 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 Camera Cure, 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.
