What would you do if the rug got pulled from under you - would you give up? Or, like Elliot, would you look for seeds of inspiration?
Meet Elliot who at the age of twenty one joined a London-based recruitment start-up. Why recruitment? To pay off his tracking-lynx-in-Yellowstone-adventure debt. He might or might not have exaggerated his skiing abilities when applying…
Elliot flew up the ranks to the Head of the North American Business five years later. First he relocated to Houston, TX (Go Texans!), then to New York City where he head-hunted for BP, Trafigura, Goldman Sachs and Société Generale to name a few, played rugby for the Village Lions and boxed at Brooklyn’s Gleason’s with Juan and Kwame.
Tragic Twist?
In 2015, despite an athletic lifestyle and a NYC white-collar boxing win, Elliot suffered a crippling stroke during a workout at the Cross Fit gym on the Upper West Side. An hour later, Dr. Oxley saved Elliot’s life.
A Stroke of Genius
When Elliot woke up at Mount Sinai’s ICU, he didn’t know he had been operated on, he didn’t know he had been paralysed, he had no idea that the stroke had stolen his speech, too… He recognized one thing somehow – the person holding his hand (his wife, Aleksandra). And that he would recover (okay, two things). Blood, sweat and tears? Bring it on! And boy he did.
When life gives you lemons, grow microgreens
Given that nutrient-dense foods allowed Elliot to re-learn to walk and talk again (we’re talking hours upon hours of therapy stretching over months, then years), together with Aleksandra they have been trying a variety of foods, diets, supplements, powders (the list is long) in support of the ongoing post-stroke rehab. One discovery proved not only most nutricious and delicious, but also the easiest to implement. Drumroll… Microgreens!
Microgreens’ Genius
While most diets revolve around unsustainable deprivation, microgreens garnish your favourite plate, e.g. protein such as steak or tofu etc., enhancing its flavour and nutrient-content.
Greedy Greens Chiswick Microgreens are Born (err grown)
Elliot’s newfound passion is growing microgreens in the heart of Chiswick for loyal taste-buds-driven customers (is it you?). His life purpose has become a. spreading awareness of disease prevention/recurrence, and b. encouraging others to smell the roses and taste his microgreens – there is life after stroke - fall six times, get up seven.
Microgreens’ youthful name reflects their age – the longer greens grow, the more nutrients they lose. Harvested on day 10 to 14, they’re small yet mighty, retaining 40 times the nutrients of any adult counterpart (think SHORT AND SWEET LIFE). Q: 40 times the nutrients? F.O.R.T.Y? Yep, we counted! Q: So, tell me what you’re made of? Think of microgreens as the good mood food:
Q: What do all these microgreens’ nutrients do for me exactly? They’re hard at work to satisfy your taste buds while preventing strokes, heart issues, cancers and disease recurrence. Imagine what microgreens could do for you -- biochemists and nutrition scientists agree that up to 80 percent of chronic diseases can be prevented through healthy diet and lifestyle choices -- And just think of all the other superhero skills you could gain - like reading 48 books a year, bouncing out of work for a 5p.m. run or waking up every morning energized and ready to go. Q: Are you vegan? 100%. And we’re compatible with Keto, Paleo, Raw, Mediterranean, Anti-inflammatory, Low Carb, No Sugar diets too. Q: Microgreens – is it like a salad? More like an ALL-DAY CAFÉ
Q: GREEDY Greens? Really? Yep! Greedy to feel good! |
