How to Rebuild Health & Optimize Longevity with Lisa Tamati

What does it really take to build unshakable resilience in sport, in health, and in life?

Lisa Tamati has lived a life defined by grit, from running ultramarathons across the world’s toughest terrains to facing her mum’s near-fatal aneurysm head-on. We dive into the mindset that carried her through seven-day desert treks, the years-long fight to bring her mum back from a coma, and how those experiences led her to explore hyperbaric oxygen therapy, genetic testing, and the science of longevity.

She shares why gut health and the immune system sit at the core of healthy aging, and how she’s using her biotech work to give people tools to measure and improve their “immune age.” This conversation blends raw resilience with cutting-edge health insights. The kind of lessons you can actually use to live stronger, longer, and with more purpose.

If you’re ready for a raw, inspiring look at how mindset, science, and self-belief can change your life, you don’t want to miss this episode.
