Book: The Well-Lived Life: A 102-Year-Old Doctor's Six Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age 👉 amzn.to/3JtwWNs
--------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- ---------------
Dr. Gladys McGarey is recognized as a pioneer in the convergence of allopathic and holistic medicine and is internationally known as the Mother of Holistic Medicine. Following a career in family practice for nearly eighty years, she now has a life consulting practice. After graduating from medical school, Dr. McGarey became the only woman intern at Deaconess Hospital in Philadelphia.
In 1978, she co-founded the American Holistic Medical Association to unite licensed physicians who practiced medicine and helped transform conventional healthcare into a more holistic model. She was the first medical doctor to utilize acupuncture in the U. S. and trained other physicians to use it. She founded the Gladys Taylor McGarey Foundation in 1989 to bridge the gap between holistic and traditional medicine. She helped to expand the knowledge and application of holistic principles through scientific research and education.
Dr. McGarey co-founded the Academy of Parapsychology and Medicine, founded The International Academy of Clinical Hypnosis, and was a founding diplomat of the Arizona Board of Homeopathic and Integrated Medicine Examiners.
We all want to know the secret of leading a long, happy life, so who better to ask than someone who is 103 years old? And all the more qualified as a doctor and the mother of holistic medicine.
Please enjoy my conversation with Dr. Gladys McGarey.

Hey, can someone PLEASE fix your stuff so that the closed captions actually repeat what the person is saying? The words are not in English!! I don't know if you can imagine how frustrating that is, but just in case, you don't know, it's extremely frustrating.

[@sarahbiermann5889]

Right before my mother passed over, she looked up above her and asked, “who are all the people in the room?“ I told her, “those are all your loved ones waiting for you.“ it was beautiful and peaceful.

Wow! Awesome!

[@JefftheSabaDude]

So great that you had Dr. Gladys on your podcast, Alex. I took a sabbatical from my purely allopathic medical practice in Phoenix in 1990 to spend two years working with Dr. Gladys and her daughter Helene in their holistic medical practice in Scottsdale. We employed the Edgar Cayce readings, had many of his remedies in our pharmacy, and had our own specialized PT and massage therapy department. For me it was a life changing experience that has continued to grow even now in my 75th year.

[@berthlubny5634]

I love Scottsdale!!!

My grandmother and grandfather each lived to be 104, but they were 7 years apart. My grandma saw 3 centuries: born in 1897 and died in 2000. I think that is so awesome that she saw the entire 1900’s!

[@sidilicious11]

My grandparents were born in 1898 and 1897. They were born before cars and got to see technology burgeon. Grandpa made it to 103 and lived through the whole 20th century.

[@donaldakin492]

My grandmother used to say that LOVE is the most powerful force in the universe. She was right. Dr. Gladys McGarey is on the same frequency. Life and love. And choice.

[@JennieEmare]

Wow how lucky you were to have her, she was wise and you were fortunate to hear words and knowledge shared with you like that. Thank you for sharing ✨🤍

[@donaldakin492]

@@JennieEmare Yes, soooo lucky! I miss her terribly, but at the same time I feel her around me often. Plus, she had such an influence on me that in many ways I still live by her standards. She had an IQ over 160 and could excel at nearly anything she focused on, yet firmly believed that nothing is more important than love, kindness and spiritual growth and connection. Lucky indeed. Thanks for letting me reminisce.

If it weren’t for holistic medicine, we wouldn’t have Reiki masters in hospitals or health insurance covering things like massage therapy and acupuncture. Thank you Dr. Gladys for helping expand the face of medicine!

[@jhawkins8264]

@susansnyder - I agree. I love the possibility and practice of western medicine combined with alternative holistic modes of healing. It is my experience they can very work well together.

[@ElaineBennettEmbraceYou]

WOW! One of my favorite episodes yet! Such wisdom from this beautiful soul. Gladys' parting words brought me to tears: "Don't give up on yourself! When you find yourself in the darkness, look for the light." I needed this today because since losing my beautiful only daughter two years ago, I have felt very lost and alone but these simple words put a smile on my face while giving me a new perspective and lease on life. Thank you Alex and Gladys 🙏

Consciousness, one huge vegetable soup and we are the vegetables. If the carrots don't look after the peas because they are different and if mushrooms go around the soup knocking out bits of corn because they are yellow and puny then the soup becomes flavourless:)

I've watched at LEAST 200 of these interviews on this channel, just since Dec 2023. I've never bothered to comment. However, this wonderful woman deserves acknowledgment!! I LOVED her story about telling the guy "Don't you call me honey! I'm your peer!" I want to be just like her when I grow up (I'm 55 now:)) I guess maybe I "am" in my mid-life! Lol

[@HighestBeing]

The older I get , the more I realize we don't really get old. We never grow up, and no one truly will ever have all their shit together lol. It's actually quite peaceful.

Wilding, well done! I love this. Thank you for making a visual fairytale of the beauty of reality. This is not new. This is TRUE. Allowing Nature to reign is humility, honesty and true Nature as stewards being embodied. We are Nature, and that trust is rewarded with all life flourishing, as Nature intends. The huge reaction is all the congealed sickness, humans operating under the influence and centuries of trauma, of evil. Thank you for standing up as Nature, for Nature. Thank God for your courage and willingness. THANK YOU!!!
