Graduate Spotlight

Douglas Haddad, Ph.D. in Natural Health
“Rest in reason, move in passion.”

-Kahlil Gibran

Treading closely in his forebear's footsteps, living on purpose and dwelling in spirit, Doug enjoys developing new tools that help others deepen their personal power and heighten their awareness. Author, teacher, actor, talk radio host and athlete Douglas Haddad embodies the philosophies of living on purpose and dwelling in spirit.

As a descendent of the mystical poet, artist and journalist, the late great Kahlil Gibran, Doug the science teacher delights in seeing students’ imaginations take flight. Creatively marrying scientific reality with the beauty and mystery of nature, his intention is to mobilize young people’s soulful sensibilities with purposeful action. Doug acknowledges Clayton College’s role in this gratifying evolution.

Able to pursue his CCNH doctoral degree while teaching the chemistry of nutrition, Doug the lifelong athlete was also able to collaborate with fitness expert Matthew DeLeo in researching exercise, nutritional metabolism and physiology.

Inspired to give the existing data a user-friendly twist, their new book, Top Ten Tips for Tip Top Shape, is a natural health manual that some have called an industrial marvel.

“Within each chapter, nutritional ideas and lifestyle modification tips are tailored to the mental and physical energy challenges within occupations as diverse as the transportation, hospitality and construction industries, edgy right-brain creative endeavors, and the more pragmatic, linear left-brain tasks,” Doug says.

“Our book addresses the fast rollercoaster of sales/marketing and the various performance arts such as music and acting, the multi-tasking mindset and sedentary arena of office management, high-adrenaline legal environments, life-or-death matters such as fire-fighting and police work, the diverse opportunities and challenges of home office management for telecommuting, and on and on.”

Part of the book’s dynamic appeal is in demonstrating how much more efficiently each of us can flow together, at home and at work. “This intentional symphony is all about interpersonal growth,” he concludes. “Top Ten Tips for Tip Top Shape can help workers and families harness their physical and emotional energies for better time management, maximizing human potential with the personal satisfaction of self-mastery.”

Where accuracy meets creativity, Doug Haddad revisits the sciences of nutrition and physiology to suggest a palatable and accessible energy shift within today’s frenetic working environment. It’s a transformational possibility that would certainly delight his famous ancestor, Kahlil Gibran.
