Episode 22: Lessons from Mr. America Chris Zaino: A Transformation from Illness to Inspiration

 

In this episode, host Dr. Cindy Howard interviews Dr. Chris Zaino, Mr. America 1998 and Mr. Universe winner. Chris shares his powerful journey of overcoming ulcerative colitis after doctors told him he needed his colon removed. Through chiropractic care, his body healed from what was considered an incurable disease. Chris discusses his philosophy of living as "Zero percent secret identity, 100 percent hero" and how his inspiring principles serve both men and women seeking authentic lives. The conversation explores the importance of finding your authentic self, recognizing your "why," and embracing life's challenges as growth opportunities rather than viewing them as obstacles.
