DEAD Talks Life Lessons from a 103-Year-Old Physician | Dr. Gladys McGarey (#175)
Dr. Gladys McGarey, the “Mother of Holistic Medicine,” was 103 years old when she recorded this conversation. In one of her final interviews before her passing, she shared her extraordinary wisdom on living a meaningful life with purpose, joy, and love.
Our discussion revolves around her powerful concept of the “Five L’s”—Life, Love, Laughter, Labor, and Listening—and how they intertwine to create a fulfilling existence. Dr. McGarey reflects on spiritual experiences, the importance of perspective, and the power of choice in shaping our days. She also touches on grief, resilience, and the interconnectedness of all human experiences.
This episode stands as both a celebration of her remarkable life and a lasting reminder of the light she brought into the world. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, guidance, or comfort, Dr. McGarey’s words are a timeless gift.

DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end; it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12, he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma, or whatever it may be. You may cry, but you also may laugh.
