About this episode

In this episode, Andrew Jobling interviews Michael J. Dorfman about plant-based longevity and health coaching.

In episode 362, I speak with Michael J. Dorfman, an 84-year-old certified Health & Nutrition Life Coach, investigative author, and thriving example of plant-based longevity. Based in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, he has spent the last 17+ years living—and coaching—on how to age vibrantly without chronic disease. Michael adopted a vegetarian diet in 1976, transitioned to a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle in 2008, and earned his certification in Plant-Based Nutrition in 2019. His book, The Thriving Vegan, exposes how the food and pharmaceutical industries mislead the public—and how individuals can reclaim their health. This is a powerful podcast with an essential message for everyone.
