In this inspiring episode of Ageless & Timeless, Michele Hughes welcomes her dear friend, Lisa Tamati — a world-renowned ultra-endurance athlete, author, coach, and biotech entrepreneur. Lisa spent 25 years racing in the toughest endurance events on Earth, from the Himalayas to Death Valley, covering over 70,000 km and surviving expeditions including an illegal crossing of the Libyan Desert. Her journey embodies resilience, grit, and determination, and she shares how these experiences shaped her drive to help others unlock their potential. Lisa’s story goes far beyond athletics. When her mother suffered a devastating brain aneurysm, Lisa’s relentless research and unconventional protocols helped her recover against all odds. Later, when her mother was diagnosed with brain cancer, Lisa once again defied the prognosis, combining integrative medicine, advanced therapies, and unwavering tenacity to extend and improve her mother’s life. Today, Lisa channels her expertise into coaching, podcasting, and her biotech ventures, including the development of Cellular Restore, a groundbreaking formulation targeting immune system aging. She also created an immune age calculator designed to give individuals and practitioners deeper insights into immune health and longevity. Together, Michele and Lisa discuss: ● How Lisa’s endurance racing career taught her to overcome adversity and “push the limits.” ● The turning point that set her on a mission to advocate for health sovereignty. ● The powerful role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and functional medicine in brain recovery. ● Her latest work in biotech and longevity, including immune system support and innovation. ● Why becoming the CEO of your own health is essential in today’s medical landscape. Lisa’s journey is a masterclass in courage, determination, and self-empowerment.
