Michael Fredric Roizen was born on January 7, 1946, in Buffalo, New York, United States. He is the son of Manus, an advertising agency owner, and Edith Roizen, a teacher, and homemaker.
Michael was educated at the Nichols School. He graduated with honors from Williams College in 1967, receiving a Bachelor of Arts. He also got a Doctor of Medicine from the University of California, San Francisco in 1971.
After his graduation from the university, Michael Roizen spent his years as an intern and resident at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston from 1971 to 1973. For two years in the mid-1970s, he was a research associate in pharmacology at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland from 1973 to 1975, and then returned to the San Francisco area as an anesthesiologist and medical-school professor with the University of California's healthcare system in the city.
In 1985, he and his wife, pediatrician Nancy J. Mrazek, moved their family to Chicago when Roizen was hired as a professor of internal medicine and chairman of the department of anesthesia and critical care at the University of Chicago medical school and hospital.
Roizen's first book, co-authored with Elizabeth Anne Stephenson, explained this concept in detail. "RealAge: Are You as Young as You Can Be?" appeared in 1999, became a New York Times bestseller, and attracted the interest of television talk-show host Oprah Winfrey. Roizen made his first appearance on Oprah in 1999, which prompted sales of his book to soar overnight. He admitted that his first experience on live television may have subtracted a few months off his own real age due to stress. "They had nine of my patients on the show, and I had to memorize information on eleven other people I'd never seen," he told Theiss in the Plain Dealer. "I was like a deer in headlights."
Roizen followed up the success of his first book with "The RealAge Diet: Make Yourself Younger with What You Eat" in 2001. That same year, he took a new job as dean of the medical school at the State University of New York (SUNY) Upstate Medical Center/University of Syracuse facility but lasted just nine months on the job. Some of the senior staffers were upset over his plans to restructure their pay packages, and Roizen stepped down but remained on staff as a professor of anesthesiology. In 2005, he joined the prestigious Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, as Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of the Wellness Institute.
Still a regular guest on Oprah, Roizen met another physician through Winfrey, and he and Dr. Mehmet Oz teamed up to write "You: The Owner's Manual, An Insider's Guide to the Body That Will Make You Healthier and Younger," published by Harper Collins in 2005. The book offered tips for a healthy lifestyle, including diet, exercise, and stress management, and was another New York Times bestseller. He and Oz - a cardiologist and Columbia University medical school professor -inked a deal with Simon & Schuster's Free Press to write three more books, which began with "You: The Smart Patient: An Insider's Handbook for Getting the Best Treatment" in 2006. Later that year, "You: On a Diet; The Owner's Manual for Waist Management" was published, and remained on the New York Times best-seller list for several months.
After spending much of his career in the operating room or the classroom, he is still stunned by the minor celebrity status he achieved thanks to his appearances on Oprah. "The privilege I get by having this visibility is, anyone will talk to me, and I get to learn," he enthused to a reporter for his hometown newspaper, Charity Vogel of the Buffalo News. "That's the joy. And the visibility gives me the opportunity to help people out. That's a privilege, not just a responsibility."
Michael Roizen is co-founder and originator of the popular RealAge.com website. He is also a Chief Medical Consultant to The Dr. Oz Show.

2006In the early 1990s, Michael took a deeper interest in nutrition as a tool for optimum health and began looking into published research findings on longevity, too. The dual inquiries led him to come up with his "real age" quiz, which established a number entirely different from a person's chronological age; years were added for poor health habits, such as tobacco use, or subtracted for those who exercised regularly or ate a certain amount of fish weekly, based on the premise that the omega-3 fatty acids found in many types of seafood reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. "The basic message was that you - not your genes - control your rate of aging," he explained to the Plain Dealer's Theiss. "By the time you are 80, behavioral choices account almost entirely for your health."
Michael is a member of the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (president from 1995 to1997), American Society of Anesthesiologists, American Board Of Internal Medicine, American Board of Anesthesiology, and Alpha Omega Alpha.
Roizen had always been an active athlete and excelled in squash to such an extent that he played on the racquet sport's United States team that competed at the 1984 Pan-American Games.
Roizen and his wife, Nancy J. Mrazek, are the parents of two grown children - a son, Jeffrey, in medical school, and a daughter, Jennifer, pursuing a doctorate in chemistry.
