What it's all about?
This site has been created to share the information and experiences that the Greene family has come across in the search for optimal health & wellness.

How it got started
My cholesterol had been on the rise for several years and eventually hit 273 total. As a result I had been prescribed statin drugs. My father was already on statins, having suffered a stroke 15+ years ago, and my mother's cholesterol was over 350 and she was taking statins.
We all maintained some level of exercise and we eat ( or ate) what is conventionally held to be a healthy diet but still our blood work was dismal and our prospects for heart disease and stroke we're the only thing looking good. So we decided to do a little research...

What we found

• Cholesterol is not the Enemy
• Statins are EVIL
• Processed foods, don't eat 'em
• Green Smoothies are goooood.
• Wheat, may not be so good

Where we are today
In January of 2012 we made some big changes to our diets.
I quit taking statins and my last blood test showed a 60 point drop in LDL cholesterol after 90 days.
My mothers total dropped about 100 pts and my father dropped 30 but he is still on statins (although reduced)
We attribute a vegetarian diet on my parents side and a paleo diet on my side to the changes.
The common thing we removed from out diet is processed sugar. I also went gluten free.
We also found tons of information which we'll share right here in the near future.

Thanks for reading,
Jeff Greene
