Embrace Your Heart: Eliz Greene Says Small Changes Make a Big Difference Eating at a Meeting

Recorded on National Wear Red Day to bring greater attention to heart disease as the leading cause of death for Americans and promote steps we can take to protect our hearts and our attendees.

Tracy was joined by the inspiring and amazing Eliz Greene to discuss the profound impact of stress on heart health and the importance of recognizing subtle symptoms of heart problems, especially in women.

Eliz shares her deeply personal experience of having a heart attack at 35 years old while being 7 months pregnant with twins. Like my story, it changed the trajectory of her career. Eliz shares the vital significance of understanding and addressing stress as a significant yet often overlooked risk factor for heart disease.

We talk about how to managing stress and how to help our event attendees, friends, and family members manage the stress related to dietary restrictions or other health related issues. The stress our attendees or we have when eating at a meeting is real because we have no control over what is served, how the food is prepared, or how servers do not know what they are serving.

Eliz emphasizes the importance of respecting and accommodating diverse dietary preferences and allergies in personal and professional settings. Eliz even discusses the fact that #MeetingProfs have one of the top five most stressful jobs and provides valuable insights into how stress impacts heart health and the role of food in managing internal pressure, making it a compelling listen for all those looking to prioritize their heart health in today's fast-paced world.
