On today’s show, Hosts Ellen Kamhi PhD RN, The Natural Nurse and Dr. Eugene Zampieron, ND AHG, (Dr Z), review the political move to RECLASSIFY, Naturopathic Physicians, and advanced Practice Nurses, to remove ‘Professional Status.”  The 2025-2026 proposed U.S. Department of Education reclassification  removes “professional” status from several health degrees, including graduate nursing degrees, and Naturopathic Physicians, which then limits student loans and threatens the advanced practice pipeline.

What if you could feel more vitality and joy, have stronger will power and live longer? Dr Torkil Færø will explain how this can be achieved using technology “wearables”.

About Dr Torkil Færø

Dr Torkil Færø is a GP and emergency physician, documentary filmmaker, author and photographer. Over a 26- year career as a doctor, he has completed thousands of consultations and  gained a unique picture of the diseases that plague us. He learned that the cause is most often found in the stresses in our daily lifestyles. After years of research, Dr. Torkil found that using wearables is an excellent way to track and regulate your nervous system and physiology.

In his new book, THE PULSE CURE, Dr Torkil teaches everyone how to Take charge of your own health with measurable actions ! This is the first book that teaches how to use wearables to track heart rate variability and gives a practical and holistic plan to improve overall health.

With the aid of your phone, smartwatch or a wearable heart rate monitor and The Pulse Cure, you can. The key lies in measuring your heart rate variability – the distance between your heart beats – which indicates what is happening in your autonomic nervous system. Tuning into your heart rate variability can show you how your personal constitution reacts to specific stressors and help you tailor what you need to do to recharge.
