Episode Synopsis
Most women I work with believe their exhaustion comes from doing too much.But what if the real reason you’re burned out isn’t overdoing—it’s under-nourishing?In this episode (the first of a two-part series), I’m sharing the one thing I see nearly every woman in burnout neglecting—whether she’s a perfectionist, a people-pleaser, a mom, or the “strong one” everyone relies on.And it’s not what you think.We’ll talk about how the “capable woman” archetype leads to self-neglect, why most women in burnout are literally underfed, and how skipping meals or ignoring hunger isn’t discipline—it’s disconnection.🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:Why chronic burnout isn’t just about stress—it’s about being underfedThe missing link between food, hormones, blood sugar, and emotional regulationHow under-eating amplifies anxiety, irritability, and adrenal fatigueThe hidden ways high-functioning women starve themselves of energy (without realizing it)Why perfectionists and people-pleasers are especially prone to meal neglectThe emotional and physiological consequences of not feeding yourself consistentlyHow to begin reintroducing nourishment in small, realistic ways⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to The Real Remedy01:24 Understanding Burnout03:15 The Importance of Proper Nutrition03:59 Real-Life Examples of Nutritional Neglect08:09 The Impact of Nutrition on Hormones and Mood11:10 Personality Types Prone to Nutritional Neglect15:34 Conclusion and Final Thoughts🔗 Connect with Elizabeth:Website: https://elizabeth-oneill.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabetho.neillExplore The Real Remedy: https://elizabeth-oneill.com/masterclassWork with Elizabeth: https://elizabeth-oneill.com/links💌 Want more like this?Subscribe to The Real Remedy Podcast and leave a review if this resonated with you.
