Readers are invited to join Natural Awakenings and KnoWEwell for an inspirational Graceful Aging webcast series, the first of which begins with Gladys McGarey, M.D., the Mother of Holistic Medicine. She is 103 years young and author of The Well-Lived Life: A 102-Year-Old Doctor's Six Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age.

McGarey, affectionately known as Dr. Gladys, is board certified in Holistic and Integrated Medicine and has held a family practice for more than sixty years. She is the co-founder of the American Holistic Medical Association, (and past president), as well as the co-founder of the Academy of Parapsychology and Medicine. In addition, she was the first to utilize acupuncture in the U.S. and trained other physicians how to use it.
