Join us on the Vibrant Wellness Podcast as we dive into a rich conversation with Dr. Cindy M. Howard, a chiropractic internist and nutritionist who combines her clinical expertise with deep empathy gained through personal experience.
After overcoming Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Dr. Cindy shares how this journey shaped her approach to patient care, leading to the insights she covers in her book, Positively Altered: Finding Happiness at the Bottom of a Chemo Bag.
In this episode, Dr. Cindy delves into often-overlooked areas of functional medicine—such as sexual health. Drawing from her expertise in pelvic health, she challenges practitioners to adopt a straightforward, educational approach in discussing sexual health with patients. Her insights underscore the value of building patient trust through clear, compassionate dialogue and comprehensive assessments.
Dr. Cindy also explores the role of new functional treatments, including the potential of Winback TECAR therapy, along with the critical need for detailed hormone testing. She critiques common formulaic treatment methods, calling for a focus on root causes to achieve lasting health outcomes.
Through her experiences, both personal and professional, Dr. Cindy inspires practitioners to view resilience as essential to both patient healing and provider growth. Don’t miss this thoughtful discussion that promises to add fresh perspectives to your practice.
