    Dr. Faero Torkil- Master Stress Management for Metabolic Health And Peak Performance

    Discover how your smartwatch could be the key to understanding and managing your body's stress levels. Dr. Torkil, a Norwegian physician and author of "The Pulse Cure," reveals how heart rate variability (HRV) data from wearable devices can transform our approach to health and wellness. Learn why modern life's constant low-grade stress differs from our ancestors' acute stresses, and how this impacts our overall well-being. Dr. Torkil explains that when we're relaxed, our heartbeat shows more variation, while stress makes it more regular - like a metronome. This simple metric can help us make better decisions about everything from meal timing to exercise intensity.

Dr Kiltz shares his journey into fertility medicine and integrating Eastern and Western approaches to help patients struggling with infertility. He discusses the alarming rise in infertility rates, miscarriages, and genetic abnormalities, attributing it to factors like delayed childbearing, plant-based diets high in toxins, and environmental pollutants. Kiltz also talks about how we can improve our overall health by adopting a carnivore or keto diet, challenging conventional wisdom on nutrition. He emphasises the importance of taking personal responsibility for health by avoiding processed foods and focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods like meat, eggs, and butter. The industrialisation of food production and the prevalence of environmental chemicals are also contributing to declining sperm counts and epigenetic changes that impact fertility. A holistic approach considering diet, lifestyle, and environmental exposures is crucial for addressing reproductive health challenges. 00:00:00 - Optimising Metabolic Health and Fertility00:03:02 - From Artist to Fertility Expert: My Unexpected Journey00:07:28 - Diabetes, Nutrition, and Declining Fertility00:11:26 - The Toxic Compounds in Plants and Their Impact00:15:48 - Avoiding Harmful Chemicals in Food00:19:03 - The Decline of Fertility and Industrialisation of Food00:21:58 - Declining Fertility Rates and Environmental Factors00:27:30 - From Migraines to Mindfulness: A Journey of Nutrition and Self-Discovery00:31:22 - The Healing Power of Carnivore Diet and Fatty Meat00:37:50 - The Dangers of Plant-Based Diets and the Benefits of Meat00:41:44 - The Dangers of a High Plant-Based, Low-Fat Diet00:44:49 - The Demonisation of Fat and the Rise of Sugar in Modern Diet00:48:01 - Resilience and Vitality in Older Age00:49:15 - Fasting: The Physiological Benefits and Healing Power00:52:35 - The Benefits of Fasting and Balanced Nutrition00:54:45 - The Benefits of Fasting and Plant-Based Diets for Pregnant Women00:57:08 - We're All Uniquely Beautiful, Yet the Same01:00:25 - Discussing a Hearty Steak Meal01:02:08 - Homemade Beef Jerky: A Simple Delight01:04:04 - Embracing a Balanced Approach to Health Connect with Dr. Kiltz: https://www.instagram.com/doctorkiltz/https://www.youtube.com/@doctorkiltz Connect with Martin Silva: https://www.instagram.com/martinsilvafitness/https://www.tiktok.com/@martinsilvafitness
