Welcome to today’s episode of the Don’t Pick the Scab Podcast, where we focus on helping men rebuild their lives after divorce. In this episode, we’re joined by Michael Mendribil, a naturopathic doctor, functional medicine practitioner, and transformative coach. Michael’s journey is one of resilience, self-discovery, and healing, and he brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to the table. From navigating divorce himself to overcoming life’s toughest challenges, Michael has dedicated his career to helping others heal and thrive.

Michael shares his deeply personal story, including his experiences with divorce, financial struggles, and the emotional toll of caregiving for a spouse with Alzheimer’s. Through these challenges, he discovered the importance of prioritizing self-care, building resilience, and reframing life’s difficulties as opportunities for growth. His insights are particularly valuable for men over 40 who may feel stuck, emotionally depleted, or unsure of how to move forward after divorce.

In this episode, Michael emphasizes the importance of addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of recovery. He discusses how chronic stress, poor sleep, and unhealthy habits can take a toll on men’s health during and after divorce.

He also highlights the role of naturopathic and functional medicine in helping men regain their energy, focus, and overall well-being.
