from The Toughest Finish Line · host Jen Done

This week on The Toughest Finish Line, we’re joined by Lara Giusti to talk about how one life-changing experience led to the creation of a nutrition brand now helping endurance athletes around the world.Lara shares the story of how her husband’s health suddenly changed after being admitted to hospital and undergoing major surgery. Following this, he struggled to tolerate food in the same way, something that had a huge impact on his cycling and ability to fuel properly during endurance sport.Frustrated by the lack of natural, stomach-friendly options available, Lara decided to create her own solution. What started from a deeply personal challenge has since grown into a mission to help others fuel better, perform stronger, and achieve their own toughest finish lines.In this episode, we talk about resilience, entrepreneurship, balancing family life with building a business, and why nutrition can completely change both performance and confidence in sport.A brilliant conversation for anyone interested in endurance sport, business, and turning adversity into purpose.
