Meet Eliz
Helping busy women lead healthier lives
... down-to-earth strategies from someone who has been there!
Eliz Greene was seven-months pregnant with twins when she suffered a massive heart attack. Her life changed -- not only did she survive a ten-minute cardiac arrest, the cesarean delivery of her daughters and open-heart surgery, all on the same day -- she gained new perspective and passion for life.
Determined not to lose her newfound passion and to regain her health, Eliz developed strategies to fit activity and healthy habits into her life. She lost the more than eighty pounds she gained while pregnant and has since become a recreational triathlete.
Her heart attack forced her to slow down and pay attention to what was important.
To engage life rather than just endure it!
Drawing on her training as an adaptive movement specialist, Eliz developed down-to-earth strategies for building activity into everyday life, eating better and managing stress.
Eliz shares the lessons she learned in her book Passion For Life, in wellness programs and keynote speeches.
She is a national spokesperson for the American Heart Association and chairs the Advocacy Committee in her home state of Wisconsin.
Today, Eliz is a healthy 42-year-old living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with her wonderful husband, Clay, and her beautiful (now 6-year-old) daughters.
