And today, I’m taking you deeper into why feeding yourself—literally—is one of the most foundational acts of healing you can offer your body.If you’ve ever wondered why hunger doesn’t register for you anymore… why you can go all day without eating… or why feeding yourself feels like an afterthought, this episode will help you understand exactly what’s going on inside your body and what it needs from you now.🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:Why hunger shuts down when you’ve been underfed for too longHow your body “downgrades” its needs when you don’t meet themThe emotional roots of under-eating: control, perfectionism, safety, and self-neglectWhy people-pleasers and high-functioning women are especially vulnerableHow the wellness world creates fear around food and drives women to skip mealsWhy supplements, saunas, detoxes, and coffee enemas can never replace actual foodThe link between under-eating and feeling unsupported, unheard, or unheld in your lifeHow feeding yourself consistently brings your true self back onlineThe exact starting steps if meals feel overwhelming or “too much” right now⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to The Real Remedy00:19 Personal Struggles with Hunger00:59 Understanding the Vicious Cycle01:32 Challenges in Changing Eating Habits02:47 Emotional and Psychological Factors04:13 The Importance of Proper Nutrition13:04 Practical Tips for Consistent Eating15:02 The Connection Between Food and Self-Care18:51 Final Thoughts and Encouragement19:56 Conclusion and Next Steps🔗 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/work-with-me🔗 From This Episode:003: Why Your Hair Is Falling Out (And What Minerals Have To Do With It) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/003-why-your-hair-is-falling-out-and-what-minerals/id1831109345?i=1000722779082💌 Want more like this?Subscribe to The Real Remedy Podcast and leave a review if this resonated with you.
