Imagine an approach to medicine that places love at the core of healing; where doctors guide you towards your inner healer. Dr. Gladys McGarey, MD joins us today and unravels the impact of love on our health and longevity. We bring to light the inception story of the American Holistic Medical Association and its unique philosophy of loving individuals rather than merely eradicating their diseases.

Gladys joins Ruben to delve into the Five L’s of Love and Life, which encompass love, life, laughter, labor, and listening. With Dr. McGarey, we explore the impact of our actions, emphasizing the power of choice, as we can either radiate love or portray fear. 

The two of them explore the crucial elements of self-love, self-forgiveness, and self-gratitude in achieving our life's purpose and enhancing our longevity. So, join us for this insightful and empowering conversation about love, life, and the remarkable healing power within us all.
