Join me with guest, Dr. Cindy Howard, as she shares her life experiences from her book, Positively Altered. She explores how to find happiness in the rarest of places—for starters, at the bottom of her chemo bag. In a collection of raw, in-the-moment stories that come to life with self-deprecating humor and a hearty dose of reality, Cindy doesn't sugarcoat her journey any more than she bemoans her fate.
A rollercoaster of both laugh-out-loud and tender moments about love, parenthood, friendship, and cancer, Cindy's message packs a punch and delivers an honest look at life and how adversity can positively alter our lives.
Dr. Cindy Howard-
From a modern dancer to a title-winning powerlifter, Dr. Cindy M. Howard's life has been an exciting journey, filled with endless adventures and a vibrant spirit. As a board-certified chiropractic internist, nutritionist, and national speaker, she dedicates herself to empowering others to live their best lives, both emotionally and physically.
Driven by her passion for athletics, Cindy pursued a career in chiropractic school following her graduation. Today, she channels her enthusiasm into running her thriving practice, where she attends to a diverse array of patients with conditions ranging from fatigue to autoimmune diseases, catering to individuals from pediatrics to professional athletes.
Ever the determined and resilient individual, Cindy encountered a life-changing moment when she personally diagnosed herself with Hodgkin's lymphoma by reading her own test results. This experience solidified her unwavering belief that we possess the power to choose our approach to life and determine how we respond to the challenges presented by the universe. Embracing this philosophy, she authored her inspiring book, Positively Altered, a celebration of this empowering belief system.
