Cory Warren - Lean Green Dad
My name is Cory and I am a Lean Green DAD™. The idea for the blog came after my wife was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis just a few months before we were to be married. At the time of her diagnosis, we were left with nothing but fear, misinformation and uncertainty. At that point in our lives, we decided to make some serious changes to our lifestyle. We started to think more about the food we put into our bodies and began to read a lot about plant-based diets. We watched a few great documentaries and were hooked. As a competing athlete at the time, I saw a major improvement in my athletic performance and for my wife, she was able to taper off of her medications and increase her quality of life. As our family grew and became a family of five, so did our understanding, compassion, and appreciation for this healthy way of life. Today we focus on remaining lean and green in our commitment to health through the food we eat, the quality time we spend together and the relationships we build. We manage my wife’s chronic condition and our family’s health on a day-to-day basis by eating the most nutrient-rich foods possible consisting of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, and whole grains!
