Water: The Missing Link
In his 2003 book, The Murad Method, and again in his 2010 offering, The Water Secret, Dr. Murad demonstrated how cellular hydration is the common thread linking aging, disease, obesity, and wrinkles.
As our bodies age, our cells lose water—water that is essential for the proper functioning of every organ—including our largest organ, the skin. But we can prevent water loss and repair and restore our cells to the hydration levels of our youth. That’s a major part of Dr. Murad’s worldwide Inclusive Health movement, combining internal skincare supplements, topical products, and diet and lifestyle recommendations.
The transformative power of Inclusive Health is rooted in the science of Cellular Water®–a comprehensive approach to health that looks to the strength of cells themselves as the key marker of good health. Moreover, while many physicians advise their patients to “drink plenty of water,” Dr. Murad uniquely advises his to “eat your water!” It’s the best way to get water—and other healthful ingredients—into the cells, as his own research has shown.
Inclusive Health:Encompassing Body, Mind and Environment
As founder of the worldwide Inclusive Health movement, Dr. Howard Murad has helped millions around the world lead healthier and more fulfilling lives. Inclusive health consists of three main elements: external skincare, internal care, and emotional care.
External care involves protecting the skin from the sun, wind, pollution and harsh chemicals through the use of appropriate skincare products.

Cultural Stress
When his patients started showing up chronically exhausted and emotionally “beat up,” Dr. Murad coined the term “cultural stress” and “Cultural Stress Anxiety Syndrome” (CSAS) and started investigating treatments that would return them to a state of vibrant health.
That was in 2003. Since then, science has confirmed a link between what it calls “oxidative stress”—environmental stressors that overwhelm the body’s ability to neutralize or repair the damage—and neurodegenerative diseases, heart disease, age-related cancers, and a host of other illnesses.

Insights
Throughout his eventful life, Dr. Murad has been guided by insights that have encouraged him to follow his own unique path, no matter what “the experts” said. The result has been a life that is deeply satisfying—and that keeps him connected to his own sense of purpose and passion for living. This is a joy he wants to share with his patients and followers around the world.
Many of his insights are included in his books, Creating a Healthy Life, the Health and Happiness series, and the Managing Cultural Stress series.
The Canvas of Life:A Video Journal
Dr. Murad didn’t know he would become a pharmacist, a physician, an author, the founder of a skincare company, an artist, or the Father of Modern Wellness®. But he worked hard and was willing to change in response to circumstances. Or, as he says, he “allowed success to happen.”
