Dr. Gladys McGarey, a centenarian still-consulting doctor and the mother of holistic medicine, reveals “a story that teaches as much as it inspires” (Edith Eger, New York Times bestselling author), filled with life-changing secrets for how to live with joy, vitality, and purpose at any age.
Dr. Gladys McGarey, cofounder of the American Holistic Medical Association, began her medical practice at a time when women couldn’t even have their own bank accounts. 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.
On these pages, Dr. McGarey shares her six actionable secrets to enjoying lives that are long, happy, and purpose-driven:
-Spend your energy wildly: How to embrace your life fully and feel motivated every day.
-All life needs to move: How to move—spiritually, mentally, and physically—to help let go of trauma and other roadblocks.
-You are here for a reason: How to find the everyday “juice” that helps you stay oriented in your life’s purpose.
-You are never alone: How to build a community that’s meaningful to you.
-Everything is your teacher: Discover the deep learnings that come from pain and setbacks.
-Love is the most powerful medicine: Learn to love yourself—and others—into healing.
In a voice that is both practical and inspiring, Dr. McGarey shares her own extraordinary stories and eternal wisdom—from her early childhood in India and a chance encounter with Mahatma Gandhi to her life as a physician and a mother of six, to her survival of both heartbreak and illness. Dr. Gladys shares her inspiring vision for a healthier and more joyful future for us all, filled with “rich and complex truths that will resonate with readers’ hearts and minds” (Dr. Robert Waldinger, New York Times bestselling author).

An absolutely amazing book! A must read for sure!!
I absolutely love Dr. Gladys! She is a wealth of knowledge and a beautiful soul. I found that I could relate to everything she has shared. Her outlook and perspective on life match that of my own. Perspective is everything as is a positive outlook and a life of faith and joy! I know I have been lead down a path with great purpose. I had life saving surgery in 2016 from breast implant illness and my mess has become my message. I am now an integrative health practitioner and as I read much of this book I felt as though I was reading my own words. So much of what I have been sharing with my community and clients is the same. It was a tremendous confirmation that I am on the right path. Dr. Gladys is such a kindred spirit and her book, words, knowledge, and outlook on life really deeply nurtured me, inspired me, and empowered me, allowing me to greatly see the power and purpose in my own journey! This is a must read with so many takeaways! Thank you Dr. Gladys! God bless you!

Longevity Advice from an integrative medicine physician.
I enjoyed this read by a 102 year old physician. She is upbeat, encouraging and offers some advice for living a long life. She doesnât sugar coat aging and she does not try to steer people away from traditional medicine, she simply adds in what enhances it. Itâs a quick read that I intend to keep as a reference and reminder to live well and healthy.

I enjoyed this book very much. Not only is Dr. Gladysâ story fascinating, but has helpful instructions on truly living.In my case, being in my 70âs, it was pure joy to find someone who is my motherâs age (may my mother rest in peace), alive and well, overcoming challenges, able to give me advice for growing, and bursting with life.
