Dr. Gladys McGarey, the mother of holistic medicine (she actually coined the term "holistic medicine" herself!) and a still-practicing doctor at 102, reveals her powerful secrets for how to live with joy, vitality, and purpose at any age in THE WELL-LIVED LIFE. Unlike the $58.5 billion dollar "anti-aging" industry that constantly encourages people to be critical of their aging bodies and to fight the natural process of getting older, Dr. Gladys shares her vision of "aging into health." Our limited view of medicine often splits people into a set of systems and symptoms, attempting to kill off whatever seems to be causing the problem. On these pages, Dr. McGarey shares her six secrets to living a full, healthy happy life, sharing how these principles manifest medically, emotionally, and spiritually in our lives, including: Spending energy wildly to generate new energy Moving spiritually to help let go of trauma and other roadblocks Finding the everyday "juice" that helps you stay oriented in your life's purpose Building a community that's meaningful to you Discovering the deep learnings that come from pain and setbacks Loving yourself into healing.
