So Here’s the Real Story…

My name is Michael Mendribil. I’m 63.
I’ve lived many lives inside this one.

I’ve been a doctor, a coach, a father, a husband, a friend.
I’ve also been bankrupt. I’ve been humbled. I’ve been cracked open.

My mother died of colon cancer while I was still in medical school. I adopted a six-month-old girl at 39. I’ve walked through divorce. And I was a full-time caregiver—until my wife’s early-onset Alzheimer’s forced a decision no one wants to make.

None of this is theory for me. I know what it’s like to fall apart. I know what it’s like to keep going.

I’ve faced real thresholds. And because of that, I can walk beside others through theirs.

What I’ve learned is this: A full vital life isn’t given to you. You create it—through how you breathe, choose, and show up.

We don’t choose what happens. But we do choose who we become.
And we can create lives that are deeply fulfilling—not in spite of what we’ve lived through, but because of it.

These days, I help people reclaim their vitality, truth, and creative power.
Not by giving advice. But by walking beside them while they remember who they are.

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.
