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

Women on Fire®

Show Notes

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!

In this episode, Lisa shares her story and her journey with menopause. In addition, she imparts wisdom about DNA, epigenetics, hormone methylation and perimenopause/menopause and post-menopause.
