Ageless Dave Shares the Habits That Made Him Healthier at 83 Than He Was at 43
BOSTON, Massachusetts — Sept. 10, 2026 — David Finkelstein aka “Ageless Dave” knows firsthand that getting older can come with its own unique set of challenges.
After more than 40 years practicing law as a criminal defense attorney, the stress of his career and years of unhealthy habits began to catch up with him: excess weight, high blood pressure, a herniated disc, and digestive issues were just the tip of the iceberg. As David often says “you name it, I had it.” Eventually he found himself looking at the health struggles of the aging population around him knowing he was headed in the same direction.
As a result, David made a conscious decision to change his lifestyle. At age 60 he became a certified personal trainer and began taking his health and fitness more seriously earning the Ageless Dave moniker.
More than two decades later, he is still honoring that commitment.
At 83, Ageless Dave feels healthier than he did at 43, and often jokes that he has the muscles and medical records to prove it.
That personal health transformation inspired his book, A Better Me A Better You: A Blueprint for A Longer Life and Better Health.
Catering to a mature audience, the book is intentional to challenge popular consensus that health and fitness is only reserved for the young. He shares lessons learned about staying active, eating well, recovering properly, and finding enjoyment in life as we continue to age.
“I knew I was once headed in the same direction,” says David. “I was fortunate enough to make a change, and I wanted to share what I’ve learned with others.”
Written in celebration of his 83rd birthday, A Better Me A Better You is built around the belief that has become foundational to his own life: age should never be the defining factor of your health.
For Ageless Dave, staying healthy isn’t about chasing youth or trying to turn back the clock. It’s about staying mindful and making smarter choices.
The book explores the importance of movement and healthy eating, the latest studies and information on weight-loss drugs and supplements, alongside the significance of rest and recovery.
His approach is both practical and personal. He doesn’t preach about a lifestyle he doesn’t practice. He has adopted these principles into his life, for the better. He believes if you too adopt these principles, you can be a better you. It’s Never Too Late
David’s story began with the realization that if he didn’t improve his health he questioned whether he would reach his retirement. For him, that realization came at 60.
Instead of accepting his health as something that would inevitably decline with age, he chose to make a change. Becoming a certified personal trainer was one of the steps he took, but the larger transformation came from changing the way he approached his everyday life. Today, he hopes his experience can encourage others to do the same.
A Better Me A Better You is ultimately about taking responsibility for your health and actually believing that healthier choices don’t have an expiration date. Whether someone is 40, 60, 80, or beyond, Ageless Dave believes there is still an opportunity to move more, make better choices, and enjoy life to its fullest.
His own journey is living proof.
He isn’t simply writing about healthy aging. He’s living it.
