Health and longevity expert consultant
A doctor, with over 100,000 patient consults under his belt, practicing medicine in Norway and abroad for decades (including serving as a doctor in wartorn Angola in the 90s). A traveler who has visited over 80 countries and an "octo-glot" (someone who speaks 8 languages). He is the author of the recent book on Biohacking heart rate variability, The Pulse Cure.
As a hardcore Biohacker, he's not your ordinary doctor, he writes in his book about why medicine is often wrong...
1. Medicine is not an exact science: the body’s ‘universe’ is so diverse and complex that it is not possible to get a full overview of it and it is difficult to find exact answers to questions about it.
2. Medical facts have a half-life of five years: what we once believed to be true now proves to be false, and what will turn out to be correct at some point has not been discovered yet. (p. 20).
And adds...
The way we practise medicine is backwards: we wait until people become ill before we ‘heroically’ intervene. (p. 17)
"The doctor of the future will be oneself."
Albert Schweitzer, German doctor, theologian, organist, musicologist, and philosopher (p. 12).
A "doctor of oneself" - that's what we call a biohacker!
