Michael F. Roizen was born in 1946 and is board-certified in anesthesiology and internal medicine. He has said he chose medicine at age nine, after a shot from the family doctor made him feel better within hours of a miserable illness. He was the first chair of the Cleveland Clinic's Wellness Institute, and he has also held the post of chief wellness officer there. He also co-invented the drug methylnaltrexone, which received US Food and Drug Administration approval in May 2008. Among his books is The Great Age Reboot, which is about staying healthy and energetic as the years pass.
