My name is Cory, and I am a Lean Green Dad™. This journey began just a few months before my wife and I were set to be married, when she was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. Her diagnosis left us feeling overwhelmed with fear, confusion, and a lack of clear guidance.
A Turning Point
Faced with uncertainty, we knew we had to make a change. We began rethinking the food we were eating and started researching plant-based diets. After watching a few eye-opening documentaries, we were all in.
Health and Performance
At the time, I was a competing athlete and quickly noticed significant improvements in my athletic performance. For my wife, transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle helped her taper off medications and drastically improve her quality of life.
Growing with Purpose
As our family grew into a family of five, our understanding and appreciation of this lifestyle grew with us. We became more compassionate, more intentional, and more committed to living well together.
Our Daily Commitment
Today, we stay lean and green by focusing on the food we eat, the time we spend together, and the relationships we nurture. Managing my wife’s chronic condition and supporting our family’s health comes down to one thing: fueling ourselves with the most nutrient-dense foods possible—fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, and whole grains.
