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.

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Saw K. Myint—a Burmese-Australian finance professional and property developer—to unpack a Buddhist, science-aligned approach to self-mental healthcare. We get practical on non-attachment, moment-to-moment awareness, and why most feelings are reflections of the past—useful signals, not life sentences. This direct, toolbox-style conversation covers stress, depression, addiction, grief, aging, and resilience with clear, repeatable practices you can apply today. Perfect for listeners seeking evidence-aware mindfulness, mental clarity, and steady leadership in messy real life.
About the guest :
Saw K. Myint is a Burmese-Australian mother of two, CPA-qualified finance broker, and property developer. Grounded in Buddhist teachings and everyday pragmatism, she helps people steady their minds with accessible, fact-of-life practices—no dogma, no fluff.
Key takeaways:
-
Feelings are real but lagging indicators. Because mind–body processes shift rapidly, most emotions reflect memory, imagination, or reflection rather than the live present.
-
Non-attachment isn’t apathy. You still feel joy and pain; you simply don’t cling. Good and bad states don’t last, so act without over-identifying.
-
Practical reset for stress/depression/addiction:
-
Name the urge or state precisely.
-
Ask what it aims to achieve and for how long the relief would last.
-
Compare benefits vs. costs (health, freedom, relationships).
-
Return attention to the next right action you can do now.
-
-
Grief with responsibility. Care fully while loved ones are here; when they pass, release guilt and honor impermanence by continuing to live well.
-
Leadership edge: Non-attachment reduces reactivity, widens options, and supports calm decision-making under pressure.
-
For elders and caregivers: Recognizing “this too passes” reduces loneliness and softens expectations, creating peace in later years.
-
For disability and neurodiversity contexts: Lead with respect and sameness—we all “play catch-up” with our perceptions.
-
Daily micro-practice: During any spike (anger, craving, worry), pause–label–evaluate–act. Keep it short; repeat often.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik sits down with speculative fiction author and trained psychedelic facilitator Diana Colleen to unpack trauma recovery, the realities and limits of psychedelic-assisted therapy (without naming specific medicines), and her provocative debut novel They Could Be Saviors—which reframes “billionaireism” as a social sickness. This direct, no-fluff conversation explores set & setting, integration, consent, safety, wealth inequality, climate accountability, and the difference between recreational use and therapeutic containers. If you care about mental health, trauma healing, leadership ethics, wealth concentration, or climate responsibility, this episode gives you a grounded lens you can use—today.
About the Guest :
Diana Colleen is a speculative fiction author and trained psychedelic facilitator. Her debut novel, They Could Be Saviors, challenges cultural blind spots around extreme wealth and power while drawing from her personal healing journey with psychedelic-assisted therapy in professional, regulated settings.
Key Takeaways :
-
Psychedelic-assisted therapy is a container, not a shortcut: outcomes depend on set (mindset/intentions), setting (safety/support), and integration after sessions.
-
Not recreational: therapy work is distinct from concerts/party contexts; trained facilitators and screening reduce risk and support trauma processing.
-
Hope is a catalyst: one properly supported session can interrupt suicidal ideation; long-term change still requires consistent integration and support.
-
Ethics of wealth: framing billionaireism as hoarding surfaces social and environmental costs; calling it an “illness” invites accountability without dehumanization.
-
Climate and power: a small number of companies drive a disproportionate share of emissions; leadership choices have cascading public-health impacts.
-
Nuance over extremes: billionaires aren’t heroes or villains by default—human backstories and trauma shape choices; responsibility for impact remains.
-
Regulation vs. capture: therapeutic use should be regulated for safety without turning into extractive, monopolized pharma pipelines.
-
Culture change through story: fiction can challenge blind spots and make complex debates discussable without shutting people down.
