Women's Wellness, Stress and Heart Health Expert

Heart health keynote speaker and stress expert Eliz Greene speaks live or virtually on Coping with Uncertainty – Weathering the Stress Caused by COVID19.

Eliz is ridiculously excited about stress.

She not only finds the chemical reaction in the body caused by stress fascinating, but stress is also her favorite topic to speak about, write about, or discuss in line at the grocery store.

With a surgically repaired heart, Eliz also knows stress management isn’t a ‘nice-to-have,’ but rather an essential survival skill. Surviving a heart attack at age 35 while seven months pregnant with twins propelled Eliz on a mission to share her story to inspire other busy people to pay attention to their health.

Just days after her heart stopped and she endured open heart surgery and a cesarean section delivery, Eliz held both her daughters together for the first time. Amazingly, despite the pain and uncertainty, what she felt most strongly was contentment. Her priorities were crystal clear. She knew she’d been given a second chance at life and a unique perspective for a reason.

For nearly two decades, Eliz has been on a mission to inspire busy people to pay attention to their heart health. Recognizing stress as an essential and often under-addressed risk factor, Eliz conducted a research study on job stress.

Eliz is an author and writes a Top Health and Wellness Blog. She was named as a Top Online Influencer on Stress and Heart Health. She’s been seen on CNN, PBS, Lifetime, TNT, and many national and local news programs. A national spokesperson and advocate for the American Heart Association, Eliz received the Heart Hero Award in 2010. More recently, she has partnered on the Take Cholesterol To Heart campaign. Today, Eliz is a healthy woman living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with her wonderful husband, Clay, and their beautiful college-age daughters.

VIRTUAL PROGRAMS

Weathering the stress caused by COVID19

Information about the coronavirus seems to be changing by the hour — creating unprecedented uncertainty. There is an excellent reason to feel unsettled, anxious, or jangled.

Under stress, our brains depend on instinct rather than rational thought because the part of the brain responsible for critical thinking is busy dealing with the psychological reaction to stress. This reaction not only impedes our ability to get things done, but it can also create a paralyzing loop of anxiety.

So, what do we do about it?

Invite Eliz to speak virtually to your people!

With six years experience presenting virtually and emceeing hybrid and virtual events, Eliz is uniquely prepared to deliver engaging and interactive programs to reduce stress.
“Uncertainty triggers a stress reaction.”

COPING WITH UNCERTAINTY

This program is based on Eliz’s new book, Stress-Proof Your Heart, as well as her research on stress.  It offers four implementable strategies to:

  • Understand why uncertainty causes stress.
  • Insulate yourself from external triggers of stress.
  • Shut down the stress reaction and recover.
  • Be kind to yourself.

Participants are given access to Eliz’s companion ebook to deepen value and learning
