The MisterHealth Podcast: Mind, Body, and the Bedroom.

Ethical non-monogamy is everywhere right now and it’s one of the most misunderstood relationship topics out there. In this episode, Dr. Michael Stokes breaks down what ethical non-monogamy (ENM) actually is, what it absolutely is not , and why skipping the hard conversations can quietly destroy trust, self-worth, and emotional safety. This isn’t an episode pushing monogamy or non-monogamy it’s abo...

There were many moments while writing this book when I thought, I’m not going to publish this. Not because I didn’t believe in the message—but because it felt too close, too revealing, and too honest. In today’s episode of Mister Health , I’m sharing the real story behind my book, Mr. This isn’t about promotion. It’s about telling the truth—about where this book came from, what it cost me emotiona...

Most men don’t go to therapy until something is already burning down — their marriage, confidence, sex life, or identity. And when they finally get there, they don’t want clichés… they want help. This episode reveals what men are actually looking for when they sit across from a therapist — and why so many feel misunderstood in the process. Dr. Mike breaks down the seven things men need for therapy...

In this powerful and personal episode, Dr. Mike opens up about being the only man in his graduate counseling program — and the moment he realized therapy has never fully acknowledged the male experience. He shares why men shut down in traditional therapy settings, how sexual and emotional struggles manifest silently, and what needs to change in mental health support for men. You’ll also hear the s...

Most men have been hurt… but few will ever admit it. Not because the pain wasn’t real — but because they were told to bury it. In this episode, Dr. Mike breaks the silence around quiet trauma — the emotional bruises men collect over a lifetime: rejection, humiliation, betrayal, responsibility unseen. Trauma that doesn’t look like trauma… but reshapes a man’s body, intimacy, and ability to feel saf...

This might be the most uncomfortable episode you’ll ever listen to — but it’s also one of the most important. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Michael Stokes breaks down one of the biggest taboos in men’s mental and sexual health: sexual fluidity . From same-sex curiosity to unexpected arousal, Dr. Mike confronts the fears, shame, and confusion that keep men silent, anxious, and disconnected fro...

Over 20% of marriages are considered sexless — that’s fewer than ten times a year. But a dry spell doesn’t mean your relationship is doomed. It means something’s off — and pretending everything’s fine only makes the distance grow. In this episode, Dr. Michael Stokes dives deep into one of the most common but least discussed issues in relationships: why couples stop having sex, what’s really behind...

You think it’s harmless — just texting, right? But what happens when those late-night conversations, inside jokes, and emotional confessions start to replace the intimacy you once had with your partner? In this episode, Dr. Michael Stokes breaks down the uncomfortable reality of emotional cheating — what it is, how it starts, and why it can devastate a relationship just as much as physical infidel...

Here’s a stat most men don’t want to hear: men are three times more likely to die by suicide — yet far less likely to seek help. We’ve been fed the same message since boyhood — tough it out, don’t cry, handle it yourself. But that story is destroying men from the inside out. It’s fueling anxiety, depression, broken marriages, sexual disconnection, and crushing loneliness. In this episode of The Mi...

Anger feels safe. Acceptable. Masculine. From the time you were a boy, you were taught to hide sadness, fear, or shame — but anger? That one was allowed. The problem is when anger becomes the only emotion you know how to show, it starts destroying everything underneath: your health, your marriage, your connection, and even your sex life. In this episode, I’m pulling the mask off anger and exposing...

Everywhere you look, hustle culture is worshipped — grind harder, sleep when you’re dead, push through. But there’s a cost no one talks about. Relentless work and constant drive don’t just drain your energy — they sabotage your testosterone, wreck your mental health, and quietly rob you of confidence and desire. I’ve lived it. I’ve watched my clients live it. And now I want to pull back the curtai...

Most men don’t talk about it, but performance anxiety in the bedroom is far more common than you think. You might be crushing it in business, at the gym, or in social settings, but when it comes to intimacy, your brain flips into panic mode. Suddenly, sex feels like a test, not an experience. The result? Lost confidence, struggles with erections, finishing too quickly, and relationships that feel...

Most men don’t realize when it happens. What started as stress relief or curiosity slowly becomes a cycle: boredom, porn, shame, repeat. And over time, the consequences cut deeper than you’d think—lost confidence, flat relationships, and intimacy that feels out of reach. In this episode, Dr. Michael Stokes breaks down the “porn cycle” and how it rewires the brain, making it harder to enjoy real co...

Most men wear the mask well. On the surface, you’re winning — the job, the body, the relationship. But behind closed doors? That’s where the cracks begin to show. Stress that eats away at your confidence. Silence that suffocates your relationships. Anxiety that follows you into the bedroom. This episode is where the mask comes off. I created MisterHealth because men don’t have a playbook for this....
