Only a few people who were born in the 1920s are among us. So this story aims to give valuable insights from one who survived over 102 years and still inspires us to live with hope, optimism, personal responsibility, love, and holistic health principles.
I cherish the wisdom of centenarians and always learn something new from their insights. In this article, I want to share insights from a living medical doctor who has been a centenarian for the last three years, still works as a health consultant, and makes plans for the next ten years.
I decided to write this article with inspiration from the recent blog post of Gladys McGarey (MD) on the CNBC site. Dr. McGarey is not only a centenarian walking her talk but also a highly educated and accomplished medical professional known as the “Mother of Holistic Medicine.”
