102: Cory Warren on Being a Lean Green Dad

06/25/2016

We all wear our “busy” as a badge of honor these days, it’s tough finding time to be healthy! Husband, father, vegan athlete & blogger Cory Warren understands this. With 3 kids and 3 separate childcare situations, he knows all about being busy. You come home and you’re exhausted and you just don’t want to cook—we get it! Thankfully, his website is bursting with easy whole food plant-based recipes that your entire family is going to love!

 

Cory was inspired to start his blog Lean Green Dad when his wife was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis just 6 months before their wedding. Determined not to go down the “prescription meds for the rest of your life” road, they decided to completely overhaul their lifestyle and go plant-based to heal her condition. Since then, the Lean Green Dad blog has grown, and now helps overscheduled parents make healthy eating easy and fun.

  • What causes ulcerative colitis and how you can heal it.
  • Why a plant-based approach is best for healing disease.
  • How to make extra time to make healthy choices.
  • Tips for healthy family meal planning (and not a pie chart in sight!)
