The Real Remedy Podcast with Elizabeth O'Neill

This was your most voted episode and once you hear what the research actually shows, you'll understand why. In this episode I'm covering what endocrine disrupting chemicals are, where they're coming from in your home right now, and the evidence behind what they're doing to children's development — physically, hormonally, neurologically, and behaviourally. What's covered: What EDCs are and how they...

This episode is for the woman who is doing everything right, not the woman who has given up and not the woman who is passive or uninformed. The one who has researched more, spent more, tried more — and still cannot close the gap between her effort and how she actually feels. If you have been sitting with the quiet suspicion that you are missing something fundamental this episode will name exactly...

This episode is for the woman who isn’t at rock bottom, isn’t out of control, and isn’t even sure she has a problem… …but feels a quiet nudge that something about her relationship with alcohol no longer feels aligned. I recorded this episode because of my own lived experience with alcohol—and because I kept noticing how many other women were quietly questioning theirs too. This episode is airing a...

This episode may be activating for some people. And if it is, I want you to stay. In Part 1, I shared what happened when my scan results changed and how I chose presence over panic. In this second part, I go deeper into why I relate to cancer the way I do—and what this moment has asked me to look at, emotionally and physically. Cancer has never come into my life to punish me or tell me I “did some...

Today’s episode is deeply personal. I’m sharing what happened at my most recent oncology checkup—the scan, the tests, the moment when routine turns into something you didn’t choose. In November, I received news that my cancer had progressed. And while this episode is about my experience, it’s also for anyone who has ever received unexpected health news, a diagnosis, or a moment that split life int...

This is Part 2 of a conversation so many women need to hear—because your exhaustion isn’t coming from overdoing… it’s coming from undernourishing. In Part 1, I walked you through how burnout often shows up in the very women who look the most “capable”: the perfectionists, the people-pleasers, the high-functioners, the moms, the strong ones. And today, I’m taking you deeper into why feeding yoursel...

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...

If you’ve ever hit a wall of exhaustion you can’t sleep, eat, or coffee your way out of—this episode is for you. Today, I’m talking about one of the most misunderstood conditions in modern health: adrenal fatigue. While some doctors still insist it “doesn’t exist,” more than 80% of people are living with some level of adrenal dysfunction—and many don’t even realize it. This episode is deeply perso...

Have you ever thought to yourself, “I’m so kind. I do everything for everyone. Why does it still feel like no one sees me?” If so, this episode is for you. Because here’s the truth: sometimes what we call kindness… isn’t kindness at all. It’s compliance. It’s a nervous system pattern rooted in people-pleasing, overgiving, and confusing self-erasure with safety. In this episode, I unpack what’s rea...

In last week’s episode, I talked about how shorter days and darker mornings can affect your mood and rhythm—and why “just take Vitamin D” isn’t the magic fix we’ve been sold. This week, we’re going deeper. Because if you’ve ever wondered why your Vitamin D levels seem to plummet every winter, or if supplementing actually helps, this episode will completely shift the way you look at Vitamin D and y...

Have the darker mornings hit you yet? If you’ve been feeling slower, less motivated, or just not quite yourself lately—you’re not alone. Every year around this time, I start hearing the same question: “Should I take Vitamin D for my winter blues?” But before you head to the pharmacy, I want you to pause and really understand what’s going on inside your body. Because this isn’t just about Vitamin D...

If you can’t switch your shampoo, mascara, or body lotion for a cleaner option—you’re not ready for real healing. And I say that with love. Because this isn’t about shampoo—it’s about self-leadership. It’s about whether you’re willing to make choices that align with what you already know. In this episode, I’m going deep into what toxic beauty is really costing you—not just in your health, but in y...

If there’s one healing practice that’s stood the test of time, it’s the castor oil pack. I’ve been using them for over seven years now, and they’ve become one of my non-negotiables—simple, inexpensive, and deeply effective for supporting detox, hormones, digestion, and even sleep. In this episode, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about castor oil packs: what they are, how they work, w...

You’ve finally committed to your healing—you’ve got the supplements, the notebook, the protocol, and a fierce determination to follow through. But then something strange happens: instead of feeling better, you feel more tired. The motivation fades. You can’t seem to do what you said you would. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. Because what’s actually happening isn’t failure. It’s n...

When I first created The Real Remedy, it started as eight modules—minerals, blood sugar, sleep, detox, meals. A solid health framework. But what I quickly realized is that health alone wasn’t enough. Women weren’t just struggling with fatigue or digestion—they were struggling with truth. So I evolved The Real Remedy into a deeper, three-phase process: Reveal, Replenish, Rewire. Because what good i...

Someone asked me recently: “What exactly is The Real Remedy?” At first, I thought they were just asking about the podcast. But what they really meant was my program. And in that moment, I realized something: a lot of people think The Real Remedy is just a health course—about sleep, energy, and fatigue. Yes, those things improve inside the program. But The Real Remedy was never meant to be just abo...

Have you ever hit a wall in your healing journey? You’re doing all the things—the supplements, the protocols, the yoga, the diets—and still your symptoms hang around. I’ve been there too. What I’ve learned is that healing isn’t just about doing more. It’s about learning to listen—because your body is always speaking to you. Symptoms are a language. They’re not random annoyances or signs you’ve fai...

In Part 1, I shared the most common—and often overlooked—reasons kids struggle with sleep, along with practical steps you can try right away. But what happens if you’ve already tried the oils, the magnesium baths, the earlier bedtimes… and your child is still tossing, turning, waking in the night, or rising before dawn? That’s where Part 2 comes in. In this episode, I go deeper into the hidden bio...

In Episode 2, I talked about what happens when you know what to do for your health but you just can’t make yourself do it. Today, I’m expanding on that conversation, because the truth is: you can’t heal if your body doesn’t feel safe. And safety isn’t another protocol, supplement stack, or shiny new planner. It’s not productivity, micromanaging, or setting boundaries you can’t actually hold. Those...

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I’ll start Monday… or maybe when the kids go back to school… or once life calms down a bit”—but deep down you know you’ve been saying that for months, maybe even years? If you’ve read all the Instagram posts, downloaded the freebies, joined the free classes, maybe even gotten on a discovery call—and still haven’t taken action—this episode is for you. You don’...

If your child takes hours to fall asleep, wakes up multiple times a night, or starts their day before the sun, you’ve probably been told “that’s just how they are.” But here’s the truth: poor sleep isn’t a personality trait—it’s a red flag. In this episode, I’m breaking down three of the most common biochemical reasons kids struggle with sleep. This isn’t about essential oils, bedtime routines, or...

Hair loss is one of the most common concerns I hear from women—whether it’s on discovery calls, in casual conversations, or at the school gates. Maybe your ponytail feels thinner. Maybe you’ve noticed breakage or shedding around your temples. Maybe your hair just doesn’t grow like it used to. Here’s the thing: your hair is more than vanity—it’s vitality. Changes in your hair are often one of the f...

⚡ What if your resistance isn’t sabotage—but protection? We often shame ourselves for not following through. “I know what I should be doing, but I’m just not doing it.” Sound familiar? In this episode,I gently—and powerfully—unpack a different kind of pause on the healing journey: the freeze that shows up before you even begin. This isn’t a lack of motivation. It’s a deep, protective response fro...

✨ The Void Isn’t a Problem. It’s the Portal. Welcome to the very first episode of The Real Remedy . If you're here, something in you is ready for deeper healing—and this episode will show you where to begin. In this solo opening, I share one of the most important (and least talked about) phases of the healing process: the in-between . That strange space where the old version of you has crumbled,...
