About Me

The Path to Full Vitality Isn’t Linear. It’s Lived.

I’m not here to impress you.
I’m here to tell the truth.

I’ve walked through fire—not polished, but whole.
Not untouched, but more me than ever.

I’m Dr. M.—Vitality alchemist. Coach. Guide to creators and leaders in midlife who are done with the performance treadmill—and ready to feel fully alive.

No advice. No hacks.
Just real conversations that change everything.

If you’ve built a life that works—but know there’s more…
Let’s explore who you really are—and create from there.

Who Am I

Meet Dr. M

Naturopathic doctor

Functional Medicine and metabolic health practitioner

Transformational coach

Mentor to high performers, creatives, and freedom-seekers

Devoted to helping others create more freedom, love and vitality

DR. MICHAEL MENDRIBIL

For over three decades Dr. M has been a coach, advisor, doctor, mentor and creative catalyst to business owners, CEOs, celebrities, stay-at-home moms, and others whose lives and work depend on daily doses of vitality, clarity, and effortless creation.

So Here’s the Real Story…

I’m 63.
I’ve lived many lives inside this one.

I’ve been a doctor. A coach. A husband. A father. A friend.
I’ve also been bankrupt. Broken open. Laid bare.

I watched my mother die of colon cancer while I was still in medical school.

At 39, I adopted a six-month-old girl.
I’ve walked through divorce.
And I became a full-time caregiver until my wife’s early-onset Alzheimer’s brought me to a moment no one should ever have to face.

This is not theory.
I know what it’s like to unravel.
To be asked by life to let go of who you thought you were—so something more honest and powerful can take root.

I’ve faced real thresholds.
Because of that, I can walk with others through theirs.

And I’ve created miracles on the other side.
Radiant health. A love that shattered my ideas of what relationship could be. A life of freedom, vitality, and deep, embodied joy.
Not by chasing outcomes—but by becoming the kind of man who naturally lives them.

If something here stirred something in you—
Not from your mind, but from deeper in your body—Then we should talk.

Because once we do, your life will never be the same.

Let’s talk →

I refer to Dr. Mendribil as my “shaman”. He is my physical and mental “fixer”. I have been working with Dr. Mike for 10+ years now, and go to him 3-4 times a year for a wide of reasons. He has helped me with both mental and physical needs. I will provide two salient examples. First, I had been having severe nerve pain in my neck and running down my arm. This was going on for a few months, then would stop, then come back. On and off for 1-2 years. I went to a leading NYC spinal surgeon and subsequently had two spinal shots. Those are serious, they put you out, etc. The pain did not go away. I was scheduled to go in for a third spinal shot. Before doing so, I went to Dr. Mendribil. He worked his magic and within a day, the pain was gone. It has not come back. I then asked the spinal surgeon how this was possible. He shrugged his shoulders and said “there are just some things we do not explain”. The second example. I first went to Dr. Mike because I was constantly getting sick 4-5 times a year. It was debilitating, I felt like I was constantly sick, colds, flus, aches, etc. I went to Dr. Mike, he did a series of diagnostics, and then set me on a 30-day cleanse diet. This was 2017. Since then, I have only missed one day of work. In seven years. I have basically been healthy since. I visit with Dr. Mike 3-4 times per year now. I go for a general check-in, where we discuss my body, what feels good and bad, and what tweaks we can make. We also discuss my diet, overall health, and he provides suggestions. Finally, I text with Dr. Mike on and off through the years, asking him random questions about different vitamin supplements, new medicines, and the like. He is consistently helpful. Over time, I have probably recommended 20+ friends to Dr. Mike. I love working with him and believe my friends and family do as well.
