What if we stopped blaming and started asking why?
When someone develops heart disease, diabetes, or another chronic health issue, the conversation can quickly become about what they should have eaten, how much they should have exercised, or what they did “wrong.”
But could there be more to the story?
In this episode of The Everyday Health Struggle Podcast, Magic Barclay explores why we need to look at the bigger picture — including trauma, chronic stress, the effects of stress on the body, and the mind-body connection through PNEI.
Stress can affect many processes in the body, including cortisol and blood sugar regulation, which is why understanding someone's whole health history can be so important.
The conversation also explores holistic approaches to healthcare, getting to the root cause, and practical health tips you can start incorporating into everyday life.
🎧 Listen to the full episode to hear why your health story may be more complex than simply diet and exercise.
