Dr. Gladys McGarey was born in 1920. She spent her childhood in the jungles of North India. Her parents were both osteopathic physicians and Dr. Gladys knew she too was destined to be a doctor. She had a moment of deep connection with Mahatma Gandhi when she was ten-years-old that would forever change her life and set her on a path of love.
In this episode Dr. McGarey shares the five L's of life. She teaches us to listen to the wisdom of our own bodies. We are the healers, the physician assists us. We discuss "femifesting" as opposed to manifesting, finding your "juice" in life, the power of dwelling in gratitude, how everything in our path is a lesson, and the importance of REALLY letting go of things that don't matter. She knows a thing or two about living and we were so lucky to have a conversation with this wise elder.
Over the past sixty years, she has pioneered a new way of thinking about disease and health that has transformed the way we imagine health care and self-care around the world. The founder of The Foundation for Living Medicine and cofounder of the American Holistic Medical Association, Dr. McGarey has mentored everyone from Dr. Mark Hyman to Dr. Edith Eger and has helped hundreds of patients live happier and healthier lives. In April 2024 with the release of the paperback version of The Well-Lived Life, she became a best-selling author at the age of 102.
