Remembering Dr. Gladys Taylor McGarey
November 30, 1920 - September 28, 2024

Dr. Gladys left this earthly plane Saturday, September 28, heading for new horizons we’ve only dreamt of.

Dr. Gladys leaves behind a legacy of love rooted in the most important secret she shared: Love is the most powerful medicine. She often talked about the 5Ls: Love, Life, Labor, Laughter, and Listening, pointing out that love must accompany each of the other Ls for them to lead to health and happiness. “Once you’re able to receive love, health and happiness will follow. Then the only natural response is to start spreading it to everyone you meet.” We are so very grateful for the love, joy, and wisdom she shared and hope these continue to ripple far and wide.

In regard to the first secret to health and happiness shared in her book “You are here for a reason,” Dr. Gladys wrote: “living with purpose can actually help us live longer – and better. And the joy it brings to our lives will ripple out to the world around us.” She truly lived this way, working tirelessly on her most recent 10-year plan to the very end, and her work lives on through The Foundation for Living Medicine which will continue to work to further Dr. Gladys’ legacy, including her vision for a Village for Living Medicine.

If Dr. Gladys touched your heart, please consider contributing to The Foundation for Living Medicine’s efforts to KEEP her legacy alive through educational programming, media projects and her long held vision to create THE VILLAGE FOR LIVING MEDICINE, a state of the art, health services campus embedded in her philosophy of living medicine.  Thank you for helping us keep her legacy alive.

In honor of Dr. Gladys, let us embrace her mantra “Be Glad” and continue spreading the waves of her love, wisdom, and joy across the globe.

I went to your clinic …A .R.E. in Phoenix early 1980 and remember seeing you there. I went to seek a midwife! Your midwife, Barbara Brown did assist me with the birth of my son at home in April 1980. I wish I could have gone to your book talk in April this year in Arizona. I did buy your book and it has changed my life. Rest well Dr. Gladys. From Patti Brown

I just saw this now. Wow ! I loved listening to her. How she decided to live her life. She was one of a kind and rose above any difficulty she faced even the unexpected divorce. I hope to learn more and read her books and revere her holistic teachings … In her words ….BE GLAD.

Dr. Gladys had, and still has a huge impact on my life. Her spirit, her courage, her love for others and for life have inspired and will continue to me, and millions of others. I cried when I completed her book, simply because I didn’t want it to end. Thank you Dr. Gladys for all you have given to me, and countless others. Our world is a better place because of you. 🙏

Dear Dr Gladys, I have only come to know you this week. A chance connection through a dear friend. In my early, unwanted, retirement I have been marking time. Now thanks to you I am caring for my juice, appreciating my puzzle piece, and finding where to use my love. Your life’s work goes on and on and on as friends share your books, your message. Blessings to you and all of your family. Sending love 🥰 Madeleine Holm Brisbane Australia.
