Eliz Greene Imagine, having a heart attack, at the age of thirty-five, while pregnant with twins. Eliz Greene’s life changed in the span of a few hours. 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. Her heart attack forced her to slow down and pay attention to what was important -- to engage life rather than just endure it! She was young and in good health prior to her heart attack, which was caused by a rare complication of pregnancy. 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. 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. Today, as the director of the Embrace Your Heart Wellness Initiative, Eliz has made it her mission to: Inspire women to pay attention to their #1 health threat, heart disease. Educate health care providers about women and heart disease and the importance of addressing heart disease with all of their female patients. Champion the cause of women and heart disease by celebrating female survivors who make a difference. Eliz is an author, professional speaker, and is often identified as the “Red Dress Lady.” She brings passion and life to the red dress – the symbol for women and heart disease used by the American Heart Association (AHA) and other organizations to promote public awareness. A passionate advocate for the cause, Eliz is a national spokesperson for the AHA. She has lobbied Congress on their behalf and currently chairs the Wisconsin State Advocacy Committee. Her wellness programs, articles and speeches encourage others to make simple, yet meaningful, changes in their lives. Today, Eliz is a healthy 42-year-old living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with her husband, Clay, and beautiful (now 6-year-old) daughters.
