Real Food Recovery Podcast™ was created from a society wrestling with processed food addiction and the deep ache that comes from feeling trapped in destructive patterns. After decades of obsession, frustration, and starting over more times than can be counted, Paige Alexander holds this space to speak honestly about what it truly takes to heal. Each episode opens the door to the real, raw, and often messy journey of recovery offering compassion, lived experience, and practical tools that help rebuild a life grounded in peace instead of chaos.
In this episode, Paige sits down with Laura Eiman, who shares her powerful transformation from decades of sugar addiction and junk food dependency to 25 years free from sugar and ultra-processed foods. Once struggling with obesity, divorce, and feeling completely directionless, Laura describes how she reached a breaking point that forced her to rebuild her life from the inside out.
Her turning point came when she began studying the mindset of Navy SEALs, Olympic athletes, and Greek philosophers, applying their principles of discipline, resilience, and mental toughness to her own recovery. From that work, she developed a confidence-based system that helped her break free from destructive habits and rebuild self-trust.
Today at 72, Laura shares how she continues to live with what she calls “invincible confidence,” and how daily mindset practices rooted in discipline and purpose have allowed her to stay free from sugar addiction for decades.
This conversation explores what it really takes to break long-standing food addiction patterns, how identity and mindset shape recovery, and why building confidence is often the missing piece in lasting change.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of food addiction, self-sabotage, or starting over, this episode offers a powerful reminder: change is possible at any age, and identity, not willpower, is what drives lasting recovery.
