Welcome to Real Food Recovery, a podcast created by two lifelong processed food addicts with over 100 years of addiction (and recovery) between them. Paige Alexander and Jamie Morgan Reno use their Real Food Recovery podcast and social media channels to share their struggles, lessons learned, tools, tips, and resources that freed them from decades of food addiction, obsession, and loss.

In this episode, we dive into a topic that every single one of us has faced: Why do we still mess up on our recovery journey, even when we're doing everything right? You've meal prepped, journaled, meditated, blocked off time, planned for a trigger… and somehow, you still find yourself face-first in a bag of something ultra-processed. We're going to get real about why this happens—what the science says, what it feels like, and how we can move forward without letting it turn into a shame spiral. This episode is GOLD, so tune in for some wisdom!

In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery.
