Lifestyle Secrets to Longevity, Wellness & Fulfillment at 83 with Michael Dorfman

Lifestyle Secrets to Longevity, Wellness & Fulfillment at 83 with Michael Dorfman

At 83, certified health & nutrition life coach and longevity advocate Michael Dorfman explains why aging well is less about luck and more about daily, repeatable choices—whole-food plant-based eating, stress reduction, movement, brain challenges, intermittent fasting, and hot/cold exposure. We unpack how habits compound over decades, why chronic disease often starts early, and how to design a meaningful life at any age.

About the guest :

Michael Dorfman is a certified health & nutrition life coach, investigative author, and longevity advocate. Vegetarian since 1976 and whole-food plant-based since 2008, he earned Plant-Based Nutrition certification from Cornell (2019). His work—including The Thriving Vegan and The Longevity Wellness Revolution—translates decades of study into actionable steps for vibrant aging. He lives in Mexico and publishes weekly articles on Substack.

Key takeaways:

  • Longevity isn’t fate; it’s shaped by daily lifestyle choices more than genetics.

  • Whole-food, plant-based nutrition is Michael’s non-negotiable foundation for vitality.

  • Ultra-processed foods (now a large share of global diets) drive metabolic and inflammatory burden—cut them first.

  • Build resilience by challenging body and brain: strength work, new skills, non-dominant-hand practice, board games, pickleball.

  • Intermittent fasting and hot/cold exposure can fortify energy, focus, and recovery when used sensibly.

  • Stress management is longevity-critical—relationships, work fear, and news cycles compound wear and tear.

  • Chronic disease often begins decades earlier; start small now (one meal/one habit at a time).

  • Habits change through repetition and identity shift—see yourself as a healthy person and act accordingly.

  • Genes may set a baseline, but environment and behavior influence expression; don’t surrender agency.

  • For those with existing conditions, incremental improvements still matter—focus on controllable inputs and coordinated care.
