Micah Howard MD, ABOIM

Micah Howard MD, ABOIM is a board-certified integrative and family physician, and CEO and Medical Director of Healing University in Decatur, Alabama, the state's first integrative primary care clinic. He is board certified by the American Board of Integrative Medicine and completed a fellowship in integrative medicine at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. He earned his medical degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

He is broadly trained in mind-body therapies, including hypnotherapy, NLP, Strategic Intervention and Heroic Ambassador Training, and his guided imagery sessions are available on the Insight Timer app. His work has ranged from family practice and hospital medicine to hospice care, shaped early by six months studying Ayurvedic medicine in India. At its center is his belief in the transformative power of the doctor-patient relationship.

Howard was a published author long before he was a physician. He has written collections of prose, philosophy, poetry and short stories, including What's on Your Mind?, Perspective, Renaissance, Panacea, Momentum, Body of Work and The Lily and the Crow. The Hexaxial Truth™, a six-axis framework for wellbeing first conceived in 2012, brings his medicine and his writing together as a book and a companion app.
