The Frum Health Club Podcast

The Longevity Secrets of a 93 Year-Old Frum Health Author | Michael Kaufman

Mendel Krashunsky

In this episode of the Frum Health Club Podcast, I sit down with Michael Kaufman, author of Am I My Body’s Keeper: The Way of Torah and Science to Be Healthy and Fit, Lose Weight, Live Years Longer.

Michael is 93 years old, healthy, fit, and full of energy, and he truly lives what he teaches. This conversation explores the Torah obligation to protect our health, why so many good intentions around fitness fall apart, and what it actually looks like to build sustainable health into daily frum life.

At the core of this discussion is the Torah’s clear directive:
ונשמרתם מאד לנפשותיכם
“You shall guard yourselves very well.”

We discuss how this mitzvah is not symbolic or optional, but foundational. Without health, every other mitzvah becomes harder or impossible to fulfill.

You will also see Michael’s powerful morning routine before davening.
