In Episode 39 of The Green Room, Tappa is joined by Dr. Christina Pomar alongside legendary surfer and 1965 World Champion Felipe Pomar to dive deeper into the mission behind their movement “Surf Till 100.”
Christina, a doctor of natural medicine, PhD in holistic nutrition, advanced yoga teacher, and longevity researcher, shares the science and philosophy behind extending not just lifespan — but healthspan. The conversation explores everything from stem cells and arterial cleansing to the powerful role belief, lifestyle, and mindset play in how long and how well we live.
Christina explains how stem cells work in the body, how plaque forms in arteries, and the natural approaches she believes can support regeneration and long-term health. The discussion also touches on her own research into biological aging, the role of epigenetics, and the concept that belief and environment may influence our biology more than genetics alone.
Felipe shares how discipline, daily routines, and purpose continue to fuel his surfing well into his 80s, while Christina reveals how certain health protocols helped support his vitality and performance in the water.
Together, they break down the foundations of their Surf Till 100 philosophy — a blend of mindset, discipline, lifestyle habits, and natural health strategies aimed at keeping surfers active and thriving for decades.
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep paddling out well into your later years, this episode is packed with ideas, inspiration, and a fresh perspective on longevity.
