There's really no one quite like Dr Gladys McGarey.
Age 8 years old, she met Gandhi in India who instilled in her life lessons about love.
She began her medical practice at a time when women couldn't own their own bank accounts, and accumulated thousands of patients.
At 85 she travelled to Afghanistan to teach rural woman safer birthing practices, resulting in a 47% decrease in infant mortality rates in the area.
Dr. Gladys McGarey revolutionised holistic medicine. Now, aged 102 and still practising as a doctor, she shares her powerful secrets so you can live your own life with joy, vitality and purpose at any age - just as she has.
In a voice that is both practical and inspiring, Dr Gladys shares life-changing stories of miraculous healing from her thousands of patients of all ages, as well as her own experiences as a mother of six, and her survival of both heartbreak and illness, as heard on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour.
Dr. Gladys will change the way you think not only about health and healing but what leads to a life filled with joy and satisfaction.
