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 have a fascinating conversation with Molly Painschab, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) with a passion for helping individuals overcome the challenges of food addiction and find sustainable recovery. As a co-founder of Sweet Sobriety, an innovative online platform dedicated to ultra-processed food addiction recovery, Molly provides resources, education, and support to individuals worldwide on their journey to healing.

Molly is also a prominent voice in the food addiction recovery space as a co-host of the Food Junkies Podcast, a globally recognized platform where experts, advocates, and individuals share their experiences and insights about food addiction, treatment, and recovery. Additionally, Molly co-hosts the Food Shrinks Podcast, offering listeners evidence-based strategies and solutions for breaking free from the grip of ultra-processed foods.

Beyond her work with clients and media, Molly is actively involved in advocacy efforts for the recognition of food addiction as a legitimate diagnosis. She serves on the committee responding to the World Health Organization's rejection of their application to recognize food addiction, contributing to research, public awareness campaigns, and professional discourse aimed at challenging stigma and advancing understanding of this issue.
