At the age of 103, not only is today\u2019s guest the oldest I\u2019ve ever welcomed onto my podcast, but she\u2019s also the oldest returning guest, too!\n\xa0\nDr Gladys McGarey is the co-founder of the American Holistic Medical Association and the author of the fantastic book The Well-Lived Life: A 103-Year-Old Doctor's Six Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age. She began her medical practice at a time when women couldn\u2019t even own their own bank accounts, and over the past sixty years, she\u2019s pioneered a new way of thinking about disease and health that\u2019s transformed the way we imagine health care and self-care around the world.\n\nIn this wonderful and uplifting conversation, and with her trademark humour and compassion, Gladys offers profound insights on living with purpose, navigating adversity and finding healing within ourselves.\xa0\n\nWe explore how to avoid living with regrets, the importance of parents truly listening to and supporting their children and finding your unique purpose that \u2018feeds your soul\u2019. We also look at how we can bring a more positive attitude to negative experiences and how Gladys lives by what she calls her "5 Ls" - life, love, laughter, labour and listening.\n\nStill thriving at 103, she embodies staying curious, adaptable and active. During our conversation, she shares her views on ageing, believing in \u2018ageing into health\u2019 rather than \u2018anti-ageing.\u2019 She also stresses the importance of doctors listening to - and loving - their patients but that it\u2019s ultimately us who are responsible for our own healing.\n\nGladys\u2019s century of life experiences has something to offer everyone. Her wisdom will inspire you to reflect on your own purpose, face life's challenges with resilience and make the most of the years ahead.\n\nIt was an honour to speak to Gladys again and have such a deep and honest conversation with her. I hope you enjoy listening to her as much as I did. Her playfulness, humour, and can-do attitude remind us that it's never too late to learn, grow and make a positive impact on the world around us.\xa0\n\nSupport the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.
