Dr. McGarey shares her remarkable journey—from her idyllic childhood in the jungles of North India, where she decided at the age of two that she wanted to be a doctor, to becoming a groundbreaking physician who helped shape the way modern healthcare incorporates holistic principles.
At 102 and a half, Dr. McGarey continues to inspire with her energy, wisdom, and enduring commitment to helping others live well. She walks over 4,000 steps daily, lives independently, and has recently authored The Well-Lived Life: Six Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age.

Joined by fellow doctors and admirers Dr. Rachel Abrams and Dr. Mimi Guarneri, the episode delves into Dr. McGarey’s contributions to holistic medicine and her mission to integrate mind, body, spirit, and emotions into the medical world. Tune in to be inspired by a woman who has lived a life dedicated to healing and continues to offer invaluable lessons on how to thrive at any age.
