Episode 190: This 102-Year-Old Doctor’s Secrets for a Healthy, Happy Life, from Finding Your Juice to Spending Your Energy Wildly

The author of Karolina’s FAVORITE book of the year is here to
share her best-kept secrets to living a healthy, happy life. Even
more amazing? She’s 102.


In The Well-Lived Life: A 102-Year-Old Doctor’s Six Secrets to
Health and Happiness at Every Age, Dr. Gladys McGarey shares her
own extraordinary stories and eternal wisdom – from her early
childhood in India and chance encounter with Mahatma Gandhi to
her beautiful life as a physician and mother of six children.


She began her practice when women couldn’t even own their own
bank accounts (!), and in the past 60 years, she has co-founded
the American Holistic Medical Association and pioneered a new way
of thinking about disease and health.


Dr. Gladys McGarey doesn’t look back, only forward. At 102, she
has a 10-year-plan and an eye for a healthier and more joyful
future for all. In this inspiring conversation, she shares some
of these secrets, along with great advice to live by, from
finding your “juice” to spending your energy wildly.

IN THIS EPISODE:


Dr. Gladys McGarey’s background growing up in India and being
raised by parents who were medical missionaries

Our “juice” – the life force within us, our life’s purpose –
and what happens when somebody denies their juice

The 5 L’s – life, love, laughter, labor, and listening – and
the roles of love and connection in healing

Getting through things vs. getting over things, and keeping
the lessons of life’s hardships and letting go of the baggage

The importance of our dreams and manifesting, including our
wishes for the future and the dreams we experience while
sleeping, which she says have become clearer as she grows older

Spending energy “wildly” – Dr. McGarey advises us not to
question when you notice something that lights you up. Just spend
energy on it, because energy can’t be banked!
