Today’s guest is chiropractor, educator, and international best-selling author Dr. Eric Plasker, founder of The 100 Year Lifestyle®. In a world where we’re told that health depends on prescriptions and luck, Dr. Plasker believes something radically different: that your body is intelligent, your lifestyle matters, and you have way more quality time ahead than you think. Are you ready to live at 100% for 100 years? Dr. Plasker, how do we create our own 100 Year Lifestyle?

Full Bio:

At just 15 years old in Spring Valley, New York, Eric Plasker suffered a football injury that landed him in the ER. The hospital orthopedist handed him a prescription and said, “Take these pills and don’t play for 30 days.” Eric turned to his mother and said, “I want to play. I’ll try anything.” The next morning, he received his first chiropractic adjustment—and that same afternoon, he played pain-free. That moment sparked a lifelong passion for unlocking human potential and the body’s ability to heal and perform at a high level—for a lifetime.

Driven by the powerful difference between crisis care and lifestyle-based wellness, Eric completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Delaware and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Marietta, Georgia, in 1985. Just a year later, he launched his own family and performance-based practice on Atlanta’s iconic Peachtree Road. “I had the privilege of caring for athletes at every level—from world champions to weekend warriors—and parents who were eager to raise healthy, drug-free kids. We became the go-to source for families seeking a more holistic lifestyle.”

Since then, Dr. Plasker has helped more than 10,000 people from around the globe create real, lasting health. Through his company, The Family Practice, he has also trained over 10,000 chiropractors to become more effective communicators, leaders, and wellness advocates in their communities.

His success is built on a deep respect for the body’s innate intelligence and a proactive approach to health and longevity. While many don’t expect to live to 100, the truth is—we’re living longer than ever before. The 100 Year Lifestyle reminds us that longevity is not borrowed time, but birthright time—and that it’s never too early or too late to start living at 100%.

Named Chiropractor of the Year 2024 by Life University, Dr. Plasker is a sought-after speaker for organizations and businesses around the world looking to build a culture of health, energy, and resilience. He’s a passionate advocate for The 100 Year Lifestyle as a bold new model for thriving in an age of extended lifespans.
