How to get the most out of our smart watch with Dr Torkil Færø
Do you own a wearable such as a smart watch or Oura Ring? One that measures your heart rate? Host Amelia Phillips and GP Dr Torkil Færø discuss the fascinating data that can be really helpful on a health journey, from discovering how stressed we really are, to our sleep quality, or a measurement of our Vo2Max. While wearables may not be 100% accurate, the trends to track over time can be very telling. With all this data, what elements should we be tracking and how do we interpret the data in a meaningful and useful way? Dr Torkil has written a fascinating book The Pulse Cure: a book that delves into the research behind wearables, particularly around heart rate variability. Apps discussed: Athlytic: https://www.athlyticapp.com/ Eclipse for Apple Watch (email me for a free 3 month trial): https://eclipse.tantsissa.com/ About the guest: 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 thatplague us. He learned that the causeis most often found in the stresses our lifestyles place on our bodies. When his father died at 73, he realised that he had to change his own lifestyle. Being40 pounds overweight, under-trained, over-stressed, under-slept and drinking alcohol daily, he learned that this life-style 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 CameraCure, 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.

Am I insulin resistant and is Ozempic the answer?
If you are noticing more stubborn weight that won’t seem to shift, you may be developing insulin resistance. Host Amelia Phillips and endocrinologist Prof. Katherine Tonks discuss the fact that by the time we turn 50, it is estimated that 40% of us will develop insulin resistance. Factors such as higher fat or carb diets, physical inactivity, inflammation, stress and peri or menopause all increase our chances of developing insulin resistance. But how do we know if we are inching closer to this completely reversible condition? Could semaglutide (aka ozempic, mounjaro or Wegovy) the answer? And if not drugs then how can we prevent IR from progressing? About the guest: Prof. Katherine Tonks is a professor of endocrinology, holds a PHD and is the founder of Sydney Endocrinology on Sydney's lower north shore. Prof. Katherine specialises in metabolic related conditions, such as weight issues, insulin resistance, diabetes, plus PCOS, and thyroid disorders.

Longevity TV Show: How did they lose body fat and gain muscle at the same time
In this episode of Healthy Her host Amelia Phillips interviews Taylor and Luke, two participants from the new channel 9 TV show Do You Want to Live Forever. Over the last few weeks you’ve heard from Tom and Duncan, Eliana and Enver, and Liberty and Eliza (from the Block) so this week we wrap up this TV show special by hearing from our final couple Hubby and wife team Luke and Taylor. Hear about their amazing results, and how they managed to lose bodyfat and add lean kilos of muscle at the same time (which is really hard to do). And thats just the start of their great results! About the guests: A determined couple who juggle demanding careers while prioritising health for their family's future, aiming to set a positive example for their kids. Luke (28), a laid-back construction worker, who balances work and family life being a loving husband and dad to three children. He is loved for his kindness and approachability and he is mindful of his family's medical history of high blood pressure. Despite his healthy lifestyle efforts, he indulges in alcohol and takeaways regularly. Motivated by the desire for a long, healthy life, Luke reflects on past choices and seeks to focus on his personal health goals to align his habits with his aspirations for the future. Taylor (28), a vibrant and opinionated hair salon owner, juggles her bustling businesses, parenting three children and is heavily involved in all of their activities. She's the busy working mum, outgoing, caring, and prioritises her family's wellbeing over her own. She struggles to maintain a healthy diet amidst her busy lifestyle. With a history of high blood pressure in her family's background and losing her father at a very young age, Taylor wants to make sure she is around for her children and grandchildren. Motivated for change, she hopes to shed weight and adopt healthier habits.

Longevity TV Show Special: Liberty and Eliza from The Block
What do you do when two people who live together, have very different attitudes towards their health and habits? Host Amelia Phillips delves into the mindset and protocols of Liberty and Eliza, two sisters who you would recognise from Channel 9's The Block. Liberty, dubbed 'the optimiser' loves anything to do with health and fitness, Eliza just doesn't see the point. Both girls joined the new TV show Do You Want to Live Forever as an experiment to boost their longevity. In this episode we discover their personal motivations for joining, the different approaches Amelia took in designing their plans, and how they are doing now, almost six months on. A great listen especially for anyone who has a loved one with very different attitudes towards their health (which can be frustrating!). Note: To hear a detailed deep dive into their specific results, listen to episode 164. About the guests: Fan-favourite sisters from The Block describe themselves as 'chalk and cheese'. Eliza (38yo), enjoys massages and cooking but neglects her health habits, fearing internal deterioration despite her youthful appearance. Outspoken and sceptical, she battles with erratic eating, irregular exercise and inconsistent sleeping patterns. Concerned about her high cholesterol and fertility, she seeks clarity to amend her ways. Eliza values mental health but struggles to prioritise her own wellbeing. She works in Victoria as a personal assistant. Liberty (35yo), health-conscious and routine-driven, prioritises fitness and self-care for her physical and mental wellbeing. A dedicated gym-goer, she seeks longevity and explores various health strategies. While Liberty has a great focus on her health and exercise routine, her stress levels need to be considered. Open-minded and driven, Liberty embraces new techniques to defy ageing, eager to expand her knowledge for a vibrant life ahead. Liberty works in Victoria as an Integration Producer. About the host: Amelia Phillips is an exercise, nutrition, parenting and business expert with a career spanning 26 years in health.
