A Library of Life, Love, Laughter, Labor, and Listening
Dr. Gladys believed Listening was its own kind of medicine — and this Library begins with that same instinct. Here you’ll find the Five L’s brought to life through her own reflections, the people who knew her, and a philosophy still being carried forward, one conversation at a time.
The Library is arranged the way Dr. Gladys arranged her own life’s work — as a house, room by room, each one holding a different part of what it means to live Living Medicine. Every room is open to wander. Membership simply lets you go deeper into each one. Use the rooms below to find your way in.

The Rooms
Click on each of the rooms to learn more.
The Groundbreaking
The ground everything else is built on — a clear-eyed look at a medicine that has become a war against disease, and why Dr. Gladys chose, again and again, to build something different.
The Foundation
Where the Five L’s live, alongside the sacred, primary relationship between physician and patient. Start here if you’re new to Living Medicine.
The Living Room
Where and how we see and care for ourselves and each other — emotion, story, grief, and gladness alike. We are reminded that Life is both The Great Teacher and The Great Healer.
The Kitchen and Dining Room
Nourishment for body, mind, and spirit — how we feed others reflects how we care for ourselves.
The Bedroom
Where the conscious and unconscious meet — birth and death, rest and dreams, love and growth. A tender room, held for grief processed through spirit and stillness.
The Playroom
The importance of balance — work and play, risk and abundance. Laughter, one of the Five L’s, lives here.
The Bathroom
Assimilation and elimination on every level — what it means to truly let go, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
The Garden
The face we present to the world, and the quieter work behind it — our relationship with Mother Nature, and with one another.
The Back Porch
Big-picture reflection — watching sunsets, taking stock, meeting the Physician Within. Home to Dr. Gladys’s later reflections and legacy, and to the Gathering of the Eagles: our exploration of the Blue Zones and the landscape ahead.
The Library
Dr. Gladys’s own eighty-year journey through medicine, told in her own words — from learning conventional practice, to pioneering holistic medicine, to Living Medicine itself.
The Studio — Dr. Gladys’s Podcast Tour
Dr. Gladys says she found her voice at 90-years-old! From ages 102 to 103, Dr. Gladys talked to host after host on over two hundred podcasts for her book tour of The Well-Lived Life. These alone are worth a lifetime of listening.
The Attic — Family Memories
Informal, unpolished, and deeply loved — home movies and memories shared with the Foundation by Dr. Gladys’s family.
Your Library Card
Free
Every room in the Library is open to explore with a free Living Medicine Library Card. Membership doesn’t unlock new rooms — it lets you go deeper into all of them.

Basic Friends Membership adds the complete Living Medicine LIVE archive. Every month, we sit down with friends, family, and colleagues of Dr. Gladys for a live conversation carrying her philosophy forward. Basic Members get the complete archive, with new conversations added regularly.
You’ll also be able to access bonus content, expanding each room over time.
Professional
Professional Friends Membership adds everything in Basic, plus recordings for The 2025 Gathering of the Eagles — A Soul’s Journey, preparation for certification-track, and practitioner handouts for those bringing Living Medicine into their own work.
