President

Cynthia is president and founder of CDM Mind And Body, which began in 2012. The event spawned from a group of sixteen women who decided to take their health in their own hands and they collectively lost over 600 pounds in 18 months. These women are members of a church community called Christ Deliverance Ministry,where Cynthia Ringo is the Pastor. Simultaneously, due to life changes, Cynthia also became a caregiver for her husband due to a stroke and subsequent dementia. Good health became an important topic and way of life for her and her family. CDM Mind And Body became a perfect vehicle to promote and expose healthy alternative ways of living and being. Cynthia was featured in Ebony Magazine and on several network news programs (including Fox 2 News,KSDK, and STL Live) just to name a few.
