Dr. Cindy M Howard

Author, Chiropractic Internist

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.

Cindy was fortunate to win the parent lottery, blessed with loving and supportive parents who were always there for her during school projects, Halloween costume creations, and even those infamous bad boyfriends. Their optimistic outlook on life nourished Cindy's sharp sense of humor, contributing to her overall zest for life. In her youth, she found herself at two opposing ends of the athletic spectrum, immersing herself in the world of professional dancing (thanks to countless hours spent watching Solid Gold) while simultaneously conquering the realm of competitive powerlifting, securing titles in both bench press and deadlift.

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.

When Cindy’s not seeing patients or speaking on stage, she’s navigating life in the South Suburbs of Chicago with her boyfriend Keith and her three amazing kids. If you’re up for an inappropriate joke, any pastime involving the ocean, or achieving your next big challenge, Cindy has you covered. Her life motto embodies her spirit: “I’ll do anything once, twice if it's fun, three times just to be sure.” So, dive in. See what you can learn about yourself. Become positively altered.
