Life's Curveballs: From Ultra Marathoner to Ultra Advocate

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of InShock, Teresa sits down with Lisa Tamati—New Zealand’s best-known ultramarathon runner, certified genetics practitioner, founder of Aevum Labs, and one of the most relentless advocates you’ll ever hear from.After completing 140 ultra marathons across some of the world’s harshest environments, including the Sahara, Gobi Desert, and Himalayas, Lisa’s life took an unexpected turn when her family’s genetic susceptibility to aneurysms forced her to redirect her extraordinary endurance away from racing and toward something even more personal—fighting for her family’s survival.Lisa shares her incredible journey from surviving brutal desert expeditions and extreme endurance races to becoming a fierce medical advocate for her mother after catastrophic health crises, challenging medical systems, exploring cutting-edge health solutions, and dedicating her life to longevity, resilience, and health optimization.This powerful conversation explores endurance, trauma, caregiving, genetics, advocacy, aging, and what it truly means to keep fighting when life demands everything you have.If you’ve ever wondered how far determination can really take someone, this episode will leave you inspired.Learn more about Lisa and her work: Lisa Tamati: https://www.lisatamati.com/ Aevum Labs: https://aevumlabs.ca/ Understand Your Health Risks: https://yourhealthcompass.org/Podcast:  Pushing the Limits Thank you for tuning in!
