#109 Lisa Tamati On Beating The Odds, Endurance, Epigenetics & Grief

Lisa Tamati is a woman in menopause.

She's also a former endurance athlete, best-selling author, and a health optimisation, longevity, high performance and mindset coach.

Lisa is relentless and wrote a book of the same name. It tells of the highs and lows and the sheer tenacity it took to help her 74-year-old mother recover from an aneurysm and subsequent brain damage. 

Indeed, Lisa doesn't take no for an answer because she believes nothing is impossible. Even when she's told it is!
