Living Medicine: Tools, Tips and Tricks to Live your Best Life
This is one of the most captivating, well-written and easy-to-read books on health, wellness and wellbeing that I have read. Written by the 102-year old still-practicing Medical Doctor, Gladys McGarey, who grew up in India, and is internationally-recognised as the ‘Mother of Holistic Medicine’, this is a must-read book for all those wanting to up their game and to benefit from her precious insights. This book serves as an introduction as well as a guide to what it takes to create true healing and individualized well-being.
Hidden Nuggets to Create True Healing and Individualized Well-Being:
1. Everyone owns their own personal home – their bodies. Dr. Gladys tells us to become the CEO of our own bodies and to ignite our own Life Force. Don’t outsource looking after yourself. Uncover the physician within you! Be Response-able for your own health.
2. Creating a Balance among physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing are key because how we choose to eat physically, feed our minds and nurture our spirits is truly what keeps us alive.
3. The foundation of Living Medicine is the 6 Ls – Life, Love. Laughter, Labour, Listening and Learning ( I added the 6th L).
4. Effective health care must encompass BOTH the ART of healing and the SCIENCE of Medicine.
5. A paradigm shift in health care is essential – a transformation from a commodity ‘industry’, to a ‘ministry’ of human service.

Dr. Gladys shows you how to access your own inner healer – that natural healing process inherent in every human being – and live a fuller, more meaningful life.
Well worth the read. Even better, take heed and implement some of these insights into our own lives. In that way, medicine becomes alive – you will be Living Medicine!
In her companion book, hot off the press in 2023, The Well-Lived Life, Dr. Gladys McGarey offers six secrets to Health and Happiness at every age:
