Real solutions from someone who’s been there, done that, and has the stretch marks to prove it!

“I can’t believe how “real” she was. I can go home and do this!”

Participant Comment

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 new-found 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!

Eliz leads the HEART for Women Rally in Washington DC

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 in her books, on her Top 50 Health & Wellness blog, and as an award winning speaker delivering wellness programs for women, the workplace wellness programs, and eduction programs for healthcare providers across the country.

In 2010 she received the Heart Hero Award and continues to serve as a national spokesperson for the American Heart Association and is a favorite Go Red speaker.
