In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Coach Mary breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of recovery, discipline. Most people think discipline means restriction, punishment, or saying no to everything you love. But the truth is discipline is what sets you free.

Mary shares practical mindset hacks and real-life recovery tools to help you stay food sober, consistent, and confident even when motivation fades. You’ll learn how to:

✅ Set clear intentions and know your “why”

✅ Build routines that protect your food sobriety

✅ Reframe failure as feedback instead of defeat

✅ Stay accountable and focused without perfectionism

✅ Develop the kind of discipline that builds lasting freedom

If you’re tired of starting over, feeling stuck in the same binge-restrict cycle, or waiting to “feel ready,” this episode will remind you that discipline isn’t the enemy and that it’s your pathway to peace.

🎧 Listen now and start building the mindset that keeps you food sober for life.

In this episode of The Food Freedom Podcast, Mary breaks down one of the biggest misconceptions in the nutrition world , treating food addiction like a diet problem.

If you’ve been told to “just eat in moderation,” count macros, or follow a meal plan to fix your relationship with food, this episode is your wake-up call. Mary explains why balance and moderation don’t exist for someone struggling with food addiction, and why true recovery requires abstinence from “drug foods.”

You’ll learn what a Food Addiction Specialist actually does differently, how recovery goes beyond what’s on your plate, and why rewiring your brain and healing your relationship with food is the only path to real food freedom.

If you’re tired of generic advice that never sticks, it’s time to stop spinning your wheels and work with someone who truly understands food addiction.
