Healing Horizons

Thriving Beyond 80 With Plant-Based Living with Michael Dorfman


Listen Later

In this episode of Healing Horizons, host Saima sits down with health coach, plant based nutrition advocate and investigative author Michael Dorfman, who is thriving at 83. Instead of treating the fifth stage of life as a slow decline, Michael frames our eighties and beyond as a powerful phase for purpose, energy and clarity.

They unpack how plant based nutrition, breathwork, stress management and daily habits can shift aging from survival mode into a proactive longevity strategy. If you care about long term vitality, healthy aging and staying mentally sharp, this conversation shows you what empowered aging can actually look like in real life.

About the guest  :

Michael Dorfman is a health coach, plant based nutrition advocate and investigative author who has lived a primarily plant based lifestyle for 17 years. At 83, he brings lived proof that aging can be vibrant, purposeful and active. Michael speaks, writes and coaches on longevity, lifestyle medicine, Blue Zones inspired nutrition, breathwork and stress reduction. His upcoming book, The Longevity Wellness Revolution, expands on the principles he lives every day.

Key takeaways:

  • Aging well is not just about years lived, it is about thriving in the fifth stage of life with energy, clarity and contribution.

  • A primarily plant based, Blue Zones inspired way of eating can support longevity, reduce risk of chronic disease and sustain vitality into the eighties and beyond.

  • Stress management is non negotiable for healthy aging, since chronic stress and cortisol drive inflammation and long term illness.

  • Simple daily breathwork and meditation help regulate the nervous system, build inner calm and create an immediate shift in mood and energy at any age.

  • Long term health change is built through small, repeatable habits, not one big goal. Identity shifts such as seeing yourself as a non smoker or a healthy person matter.

  • Purpose and community are core longevity drivers. Staying engaged, useful and socially connected keeps the later years meaningful instead of isolated.

  • Limiting screen time and getting out of a sedentary comfort zone into movement and real world connection is crucial for both younger and older generations.
