Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1942, Michael Dorfman has been residing in Mexico for more than 40 years, including the last 6 in San Miguel de Allende and the previous 30 in Cancun. Because of his growing interest in Eastern philosophy, Michael decided to become a vegetarian in 1976. For health reasons, in 2008, Michael chose to make the change to a Whole Food Plant Based diet. What he has learned from his experiences and in-depth research on nutrition and specific lifestyle changes during these past 14 years has made a significant impact on his life and led to his decision to not only strive to achieve optimal health for his self but to support others with the same goals in mind. In 2018 Michael created his Facebook page, Go Whole Food Vegan, which has more than 2500 followers. In 2019, Michael published “The Thriving Vegan,” which is available on Amazon. Michael also created and administer the local San Miguel Facebook group, “The Vegan Wave SMA” (400+ members), and another Facebook page (in Spanish), “La Ola Vegana” (500+ followers). In 2020 Michael began publishing weekly articles on nutrition and lifestyle for “Atencion,” the local newspaper. Before the pandemic, Michael gave conferences at local venues, book clubs, and vegan festivals and summits. In 2019 Michael received a certification in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies through Cornell University. In 2021 Michael created his latest website, www.michaeljdorfman.com where he regularly post articles and videos on plant-based foods and healthy lifestyle practices.
