The name “Green for LiVe” embodies several meanings.
Green is the universal color of growth. It symbolizes progress, renewal, and a fresh start.
For Live speaks to wellness and living a fuller, more enriched life — not just in the short term, but for many years to come.
Becoming Green for Live starts with awareness about nutrition, exercise, and behavior changes. Once aware, individuals have the knowledge to make healthy choices, are empowered to move forward in a positive direction, and can ultimately commit to life-long wellness.
The foundation was built on these principles, which its founder, Dr. Michael Green, lives each day.
Dr. Michael L. Green is a board-certified surgeon trained in advanced laparoscopic and bariatric surgery. For over 20 years he has helped hundreds of individuals to achieve their weight-loss and wellness goals. As a physician, Dr. Green is keenly aware that excess weight minimizes quality of life and negatively impacts longevity. He also recognizes that healthy living is easier said than done.
Dr. Green established the Green for Live Foundation to empower individuals with the knowledge, tools, and support to achieve a healthy lifestyle. The Foundation’s programs, services and events are designed to help individuals meet their wellness goals every steps of the way.
