DISCOVER THE SIX SECRETS TO HEALTH AND HAPPINESS AT ANY AGE FROM THE 102-YEAR-OLD WOMAN WHO KNOWS BETTER THAN ANYONE
Others talk about longevity.
Dr Gladys is living it . . .
Dr. Gladys McGarey – the mother of holistic medicine and a practicing doctor aged 102 – reveals the secrets of how to live to a great age filled with vitality, purpose and joy.
In The Well-Lived Life, Dr Gladys shares the lessons she has learned in her hundred plus years of life, as well as the six secrets of true health and happiness. This counterintuitive approach is nothing to do with conserving energy – rather it’s all about spending it, wildly.
Sharing life-changing stories of miraculous healing from patients of all ages, Dr. Gladys will not only fundamentally change the way you think about a well-lived life – but also show you how to embrace it.
