When Life Gets In The Way

<p>Welcome to A Magical Life: health, wealth and weight loss. I'm Magic Barclay, your host. Today we'll just be introducing this podcast, what it's all about, and a little about me.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Some of my health history:</p> <ul><li>15 years ago, I found myself morbidly obese at 144 kilos. </li><li>I was a mum of two kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder and I was raising them virtually alone. I was becoming unwell with multiple lifelong health conditions. </li><li>I was in a very traumatic marriage. </li><li>Ten years ago, I discovered how much the body really wants to heal. I actually lost half my body weight and started learning all I could about mainstream health, fitness and personal development. </li><li>Five years ago, I was told what I was doing wasn't working. Yes, I was losing weight, but I was a very sick woman. So they actually told me I had 12 months to live. </li><li>I had stage three cancer, diabetes, Cushing syndrome and they diagnosed me with Lyme disease.</li><li>I had surgery and from that I developed lymphoedema. I was actually told at that stage to prepare my kids for life without a parent and I was locked into really nasty divorce proceedings. </li></ul> <p>What I learned from all of this, and what I'm going to share with you:</p> <ul><li>I've dedicated my life to learning all I could about the 11 systems of the body and how to help others take control of their health in a way that sustainable, ethical and supportive, rather than treating symptoms. </li><li>I am a practitioner of lymphoedema, a Functional Health Solutions practitioner and a complimentary medicine and integrative pathology practitioner and also a results coach, not a doctor. </li><li>We're talking about spiritual, and emotional and physical health.</li><li>Money's part of it. Wealth is what you see in yourself. It's how you value yourself.</li><li>Your body is a system and if something is out of balance, it will start to whisper. Sometimes that will be itchy skin, a cough, weight change, but without addressing
